(500 characters): ```plaintext This new release is all about efficiency: ∙ Up to 3x faster refresh of subscriptions with 1000+ episodes ∙ Up to 10x faster subscription deletion ∙ Completes our 3-year effort to modernize **AntennaPod's code structure** ∙ Smart refresh interval for subscriptions (@ByteHamster) ∙ Automatically backup the database every 3 days (@ByteHamster) ∙ Skip silence setting per subscription (@quails4Eva) ∙ Home screen: Reorder or hide sections (@jojoman2) ∙ Various bug-fixes to improve stability and usability ``` Please let me know if it needs updating or if you think it’s good to go.

Some thoughts: - I don’t know think we can do bold text with `**` in the changelog - Smart refresh is not implemented yet. We only have the part that guesses (and shows) the next episode release date - Automatic database backup: Maybe say that this is optional / needs to be enabled manually? - Hiding home sections was possible before, just the reordering is new - How about adding the 🚀 emoji to the “efficiency” headline? ---

Sounds good. “for faster updates” can be removed I think. It doesn’t make the updates faster yet. It’s just a preparation ---

> [@femmdi](#): > > Completes our 3-year effort to modernize AntennaPod’s code structure Not too sure and I feel like I am nitpicking but shouldn’t it be “completed” ? ---

> [@ByteHamster](#): > > Sounds good. “for faster updates” can be removed I think. It doesn’t make the updates faster yet. It’s just a preparation After talking with @keunes yesterday, we agreed to remove the “Guess next episode” part from 3.4 release notes and include it later, when user benefit is clearer. We replaced it with the sleep timer PR. New draft: This new release is all about efficiency 🚀 ∙ Up to 3x faster refresh of subscriptions with 1000+ episodes ∙ Up to 10x faster subscription deletion ∙ Completes our 3-year effort to modernize AntennaPod’s code structure ∙ Allow to add sleep timer button to notification (@mueller-ma) ∙ Option to automatically backup the database (@ByteHamster) ∙ Skip silence setting per subscription (@quails4Eva) ∙ Home screen: Reorder sections (@jojoman2) ∙ Various bug-fixes to improve stability and usability ---
