 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.3.8] - 2026-01-08
+
+Added:
+- Support for using the pause button to pause in the debugger (Addresses [mathworks/MATLAB-extension-for-vscode#263](https://github.com/mathworks/MATLAB-extension-for-vscode/issues/263))
+- Improvements to symbol renaming, symbol highlighting, find references, and go to definitions as a result of advanced MATLAB program file indexing (Addresses [mathworks/MATLAB-extension-for-vscode#94](https://github.com/mathworks/MATLAB-extension-for-vscode/issues/94))
+
+Fixed:
+- Changes the default value of `MATLAB.defaultEditor` to `true`
+- Resolves issues with the `savepath` function by ensuring that MATLAB language server files are not saved to the MATLAB search path (Addresses [mathworks/MATLAB-extension-for-vscode#299](https://github.com/mathworks/MATLAB-extension-for-vscode/issues/299))
+- Resolves potential crashes when breakpoints are set
+- Applied patches for CVE-2025-15284, CVE-2025-64718, and CVE-2025-64756
