 # Changelog
 
+## 3.2.1

+- Ensure externally supplied station profiles remain authoritative on ESP32 by clearing stale SDK-owned credentials before opening the portal for an empty or invalid external profile set.
+- Pin DFTE 1.2.0, the tested template-engine release used by the maintained portal.

 ## 3.2.0
