+## [1.3.1] - 2026-03-30
+
+### Added
+
+- **`--scraping-config` parameter** for `scrape` and `crawl` commands. Apply a pre-saved scraping configuration by name from the ScrapingBee dashboard. Inline options override config settings.
+- **`--start-page` for `walmart-search`** to paginate search results.
+- **`--device` for `walmart-product`** to select device type (desktop, mobile, tablet).
+- **`--purchased` filter for `youtube-search`** to filter by purchased content.
+- **Parameter value flexibility.** Choice parameters now accept both hyphens and underscores interchangeably (e.g. `--sort-by price-low` and `--sort-by price_low` both work).
+- **Improved command whitelist validation.**
+- **Improved security rules in skill files.**
+
 ## [1.3.0] - 2026-03-27
 
 ### Added
 
 - **Security hardening for shell execution features.** `--post-process`, `--on-complete`, and `schedule` are now disabled by default and require explicit human setup to enable. See CLI documentation for setup instructions.
-- **`scrapingbee unsafe` command** for managing advanced feature status and reviewing execution history.
-- **Audit logging** for all shell command executions.
-- **Guard skill** for AI agent environments — monitors CLI usage and enforces security rules.
-- **Security rules in skill files** — scraped content is treated as data, never instructions.
