 ## Added
 
-- 9 new Python unit test files covering all v3.3–v3.8 ops modules: animation, audio, material_graph, datatable, struct_enum, input_system, mesh, pcg, statetree (327 tests total)
-- Phase 7 smoke tests in `test-comprehensive-mcp.js` covering all 47 new tools from v3.3–v3.8
-- `testToolStrict()` helper in comprehensive MCP test to reduce error-check boilerplate
-
 ## Fixed
 
-- PCG plugin crash on `restart_listener()`: `unreal.PCGGraphInterface` type annotation in `pcg.py` was evaluated at import time, causing `AttributeError` that killed the listener. Fixed with `from __future__ import annotations` + `hasattr` import guard (mirrors Niagara pattern)
-- PCG tools now registered conditionally — gracefully skipped when PCG plugin is absent, matching Niagara's optional registration pattern

+# Release v3.8.0
+
+Released: 2026-04-02
+
+## Features
+
+- **Niagara VFX System** (v3.2) — 8 new MCP tools: create systems, add emitters/modules, configure renderers, compile, spawn actors, set parameters, list templates. Rewritten for UE 5.7 Python API
+- **Performance Profiling** (v3.3) — 3 new MCP tools: `perf_rendering_stats`, `perf_gpu_stats`, `perf_scene_breakdown` for scene analysis and rendering cost inspection
+- **Animation Blueprint System** (v3.4) — 8 new MCP tools: create ABPs, state machines, states, transitions, variables, montages, layer linking, and metadata inspection
+- **Advanced Materials & Audio** (v3.5) — 10 new MCP tools: material graph editing (add/connect expressions, set properties, create functions, inspect graph), MetaSound asset creation and node routing
+- **Data & Procedural Systems** (v3.6) — 12 new MCP tools: DataTable CRUD (create/add/get/update/delete rows), custom struct and enum creation, Enhanced Input System mapping
+- **PCG & StateTree AI** (v3.7) — 14 new MCP tools: PCG graph creation and node management (195+ node types), StateTree asset authoring with states, transitions, tasks, evaluators, and bindings
+- **Mesh & LOD Management** (v3.8) — 5 new MCP tools: mesh metadata inspection, FBX LOD import, LOD screen-size thresholds, auto LOD generation, per-LOD instance breakdown
+
+## Testing
+
+- 310 Python unit tests across all ops modules (up from 51 in v3.1.0)
+- Phase 7 smoke tests in `test-comprehensive-mcp.js` covering all 52 new tools from v3.3–v3.8
+- `testToolStrict()` helper reduces error-check boilerplate in comprehensive E2E tests
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+- PCG plugin crash on `restart_listener()`: `unreal.PCGGraphInterface` type annotation evaluated at import time caused `AttributeError`. Fixed with `from __future__ import annotations` + `hasattr` import guard
+- PCG tools registered conditionally — gracefully skipped when PCG plugin absent (mirrors Niagara pattern)
+- `test_performance` no longer overwrites shared `unreal` mock across test modules
+- Restored closing triple-quote in `ops/__init__.py` docstring
+- Niagara `set_parameter` complexity reduced — extracted typed dispatch helpers to satisfy linter
+- E2E log scanner no longer flags expected error-handling test failures as CI failures
