 # Genesis Release Note
 
+## 0.3.4
+
+This minor release mainly introduces first-class sensor support (IMU, Contact Sensor, LiDAR, Depth camera and more), incl. recording and plotting facilities. The rigid-rigid hydroelastic contact model has also been added. As usual, a fair share of bugs have been fixed, with unit test coverage gradually improving.
