+### Added

+- **MCP locale hints — zero-call location awareness**: when `timezone` /
+  `location` are configured, the server instructions and the `web_search` /
+  `research` tool descriptions now carry a runtime hint ("The user is located
+  in ...; include the location explicitly in location-sensitive queries"), so
+  the *calling* model localizes queries itself — no LLM expander, no extra
+  calls, no latency. Deliberately date-free (those surfaces are fetched once
+  at connect); per-call time remains in the `Research performed:` header.
+
+## [0.3.1] - 2026-06-06
+
+### Added
+
+- **Per-user timezone/location in the OWUI adapters**: `timezone` and
+  `location` are now also UserValves on the Filter and (new `UserValves`
+  class) the Tool — each user's own setting overrides the admin's. Precedence:
+  user valve > admin valve > `WSK_*` env > default; empty valves never mask
+  the environment, so `WSK_TIMEZONE`/`WSK_LOCATION` on the OWUI container
+  remain the configure-once path for both plugins. The Tool path now forwards
+  `__user__["valves"]` into config building.
