-# ThreadPilot v1.2.0 Release Notes Draft
+# ThreadPilot v1.3.0 Release Notes Draft
 
 ## Highlights
 
-- CPU topology v2 with topology-aware `CpuSelection`, CPU Sets, processor groups, and safer handling above 64 logical processors.
-- New safe affinity paths where CPU64 no longer aliases CPU0.
-- Intel hybrid handling through topology and `EfficiencyClass`, plus AMD CCD/L3-aware preset generation.
-- Memory priority support and persistent process rules.
-- Apply saved rules automatically when matching processes start while ThreadPilot is running.
-- Process tab context menu actions, Save as rule, Apply now, and selected-process summary.
+- Added localization infrastructure with English and Simplified Chinese resources.
+- English remains the default language.
+- Simplified Chinese is available as an optional display language through Settings.
+- Selected user-facing notification messages now use localized resources.
+- Localization fallback behavior is covered by expanded tests.
 
 ## Added
 
-- CPU topology v2 and `CpuSelection` for topology-aware affinity.
-- Group-aware CPU Sets support and processor group safety.
-- Memory priority controls.
-- Persistent process rules with runtime apply-at-process-start support.
-- Process tab context menu actions and selected-process summary.
-- Optional Diagnostics view hidden by default.
+- Added localization infrastructure.
+- Added English and Simplified Chinese resource dictionaries.
+- Added language selector in Settings.
+- Added localized notification support for selected user-facing messages.
+- Added tests for localization fallback, language persistence, Settings language selection, and localized notifications.
 
 ## Changed
 
-- Default presets are gaming-oriented and generated from topology rather than hardcoded CPU SKU lists.
-- Intel hybrid behavior uses Windows topology and `EfficiencyClass`.
-- AMD behavior uses CCD/L3-aware preset generation.
-- Project version updated to 1.2.0.
-
-## Fixed
-
-- Startup no longer fails from a read-only selected-process summary binding.
-- CPU64 no longer aliases CPU0 in new safe affinity paths.
-- Persistent rule auto-apply cancellation does not log shutdown/future cancellation as a warning.
+- English remains the default application language.
+- Simplified Chinese is available as an optional display language.
+- Project version updated to 1.3.0.
 
 ## Safety
 
-- High CPU priority shows a warning and Realtime priority remains blocked.
-- ThreadPilot does not bypass anti-cheat or protected-process restrictions.
-- Administrator rights may help ordinary access-denied cases but do not bypass protected processes.
+- Unsupported or invalid language settings now fall back to English.
+- Missing translation keys fall back safely to English or the key.
+- No changes to elevation, system tweaks, affinity, or privileged operation behavior.
 
 ## Compatibility and Upgrade Notes
 
 - Requires Windows 11 build 22000 or newer.
-- Existing legacy affinity profiles continue to load.
-- New saved rules prefer topology-aware `CpuSelection` when safe topology mapping is available.
-- Apply at process start works only while ThreadPilot is running.
+- Existing settings continue to load.
+- Existing installations without a language setting default to English.
+- Existing process, affinity, power plan, and automation behavior is unchanged.
 
 ## Known Non-Goals
