 # Changelog
 
+## [1.131.8] - 2023-11-27
+
+### Features / Changes
+
+- webxdc: Add unique IDs to status updates sent outside and deduplicate based on IDs.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Allow IMAP servers not returning UIDNEXT on SELECT and STATUS such as mail.163.com.
+- Use the correct securejoin strings used in the UI, remove old TODO ([#5047](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5047)).
+- Do not emit events about webxdc update events logged into debug log webxdc.
+
+### Tests
+
+- Check that `receive_status_update` has forward compatibility and unique webxdc IDs will be ignored by previous Delta Chat versions.
+
