-## Upcoming release
+## 3.9
+Released 22 January 2021 for Stardew Valley 1.5.4 or later.
+
 * For players:
   * Updated for Stardew Valley 1.5.4.
   * Improved game detection in the installer:
     * The installer now prefers paths registered by Steam or GOG Galaxy.
     * The installer now detects default manual GOG installs.
-  * Added clearer error when Vortex creates an empty mod folder.
-  * Fixed various cases where the game's map changes wouldn't be reapplied correctly after mods changed the map.
+  * Added clearer error text for empty mod folders created by Vortex.
+  * Fixed the game's map changes not always reapplied correctly after mods change certain maps, which caused issues like the community center resetting to its non-repaired texture.
   * Fixed compatibility for very old content packs which still load maps from `.xnb` files. These were broken by map loading changes in Stardew Valley 1.5, but SMAPI now corrects them automatically.
   * Fixed some broken mods incorrectly listed as XNB mods under 'skipped mods'.
 
 * For modders:
   * Added new input APIs:
-    * Added [API for multi-key bindings](https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/APIs/Input#KeybindList).
+    * Added an [API for multi-key bindings](https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/APIs/Input#KeybindList).
     * Added a new [`Input.ButtonsChanged` event](https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/APIs/Events#Input.ButtonsChanged).
     * Added a `buttonState.IsDown()` extension.
-    * Added a `helper.Input.SuppressActiveKeybindings` method which suppresses the active buttons in a keybind list.
+    * Added a `helper.Input.SuppressActiveKeybinds` method to suppress the active buttons in a keybind list.
   * Improved multiplayer APIs:
     * `PerScreen<T>` now lets you get/set the value for any screen, get all active values, or clear all values.
-    * Peer data for the multiplayer API/events now includes `IsSplitScreen` and `ScreenID` fields.
-    * Network messages through the multiplayer API are no longer sent to players who don't have SMAPI installed. This reduces unneeded network traffic (since they can't read it anyway) and avoids an error in some cases.
+    * Peer data from the multiplayer API/events now includes `IsSplitScreen` and `ScreenID` fields.
+    * Fixed network messages through the multiplayer API being sent to players who don't have SMAPI installed in some cases.
   * Improved asset propagation:
-    * Added propagation for some `Strings\StringsFromCSFiles` keys (mainly short day names).
     * Updated map propagation for the changes in Stardew Valley 1.5.4.
+    * Added propagation for some `Strings\StringsFromCSFiles` keys (mainly short day names).
     * Fixed quarry bridge not fixed if the mountain map was reloaded.
-  * Added an option to disable rewriting mods for compatibility (thanks to Bpendragon!). This prevents older mods from loading but bypasses a Visual Studio debugger crash.
+  * Added an option to disable rewriting mods for compatibility (thanks to Bpendragon!). This prevents older mods from loading, but bypasses a Visual Studio crash when debugging.
   * Game errors shown in the chatbox are now logged.
   * Moved vanilla error-handling into a new Error Handler mod. This simplifies the core SMAPI logic, and lets users disable it if needed.
 
 * For the Console Commands mod:
-  * Removed the `inf` option for `player_sethealth`, `player_setmoney`, and `player_setstamina`. You can use more intuitive mods like [CJB Cheats Menu](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4) if you used those options.
+  * Removed the `inf` option for `player_sethealth`, `player_setmoney`, and `player_setstamina`. You can use mods like [CJB Cheats Menu](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4) instead for that.
 
 * For the Error Handler mod:
   * Added a detailed message for the _Input string was not in a correct format_ error when the game fails to parse an item text description.
 
 * For the web UI:
-  * Fixed JSON validator for manifest files marking some update keys as invalid incorrectly.
+  * Fixed JSON validator incorrectly marking some manifest update keys as invalid.
