 ## 3.6 - in development
 
+- Add `label` to job settings, to have full control over how they are presented in Blender's job submission GUI. If a job setting does not define a label, its `key` is used to generate one (like Flamenco 3.5 and older).
+
 ## 3.5 - released 2024-04-16
 
 - Add MQTT support ([docs](https://flamenco.blender.org/usage/manager-configuration/mqtt/)). Flamenco Manager can now send internal events to an MQTT broker.
