+## 0.3.1 — Split ZIP export release
+
+### Added
+
+- Added browser-side ZIP packaging for split results via `src/pdf/pdfZipService.ts`.
+- Added a “Download all as ZIP” link next to the individual single-page split downloads.
+- Added tests for split-result ZIP creation, ZIP entry name sanitization/deduplication, ZIP filename generation, and empty-result handling.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Extended generated-output handling so split downloads can include both individual page files and one ZIP archive, with object URL cleanup handled by `usePdfGeneratedOutputs`.
+- Bumped the app/package version to `0.3.1`.
