+# Twine 2.8.1
+
+Release Date: January 3, 2024
+
+## Bugs Fixed
+
+- Duplicating a story in browser Twine correctly copies passages. (Previously,
+  passages were moved to the duplicate story.) This bug only occurred in browser
+  Twine.
+- A typo in the French localization was corrected (thanks Flavien Robert).
+
+## Story Format Updates
+
+- Harlowe has been updated to [version
+  3.3.8](https://twine2.neocities.org/#section_changes).
+
+## Documentation
+
+- Release notes for Twine are now part of [the
+  reference](https://twinery.org/reference/en/), where you're hopefully reading
+  them now! The reference includes all known release notes for Twine, going all
+  the way back to 2009. Thanks to the Twine Cookbook editors and Dan Cox in
+  particular.
