 ## Unreleased
 
-## 3.5.0 - 2023-09-13
-
-### Added
-- `no-delete-prompt-override` conflict resolution strategy
-- Support for ILIAS learning modules
-- `show_not_deleted` option to stop printing the "Not Deleted" status or report
-  message. This combines nicely with the `no-delete-prompt-override` strategy,
-  causing PFERD to mostly ignore local-only files.
-- Support for mediacast video listings
-- Crawling of files in info tab
-
-### Changed
-- Remove size suffix for files in content pages
-
 ### Fixed
 - Crawling of courses with the timeline view as the default tab
 - Crawling of file and custom opencast cards
 - Crawling of button cards without descriptions
 - Abort crawling when encountering an unexpected ilias root page redirect
-- Sanitize ascii control characters on Windows
+
-- Crawling of paginated past meetings
+### Added
-- Ignore SCORM learning modules
