+## [3.131.1](https://github.com/metalbear-co/mirrord/tree/3.131.1) - 2025-01-28
+
+
+### Changed
+
+- mirrord commands now accept the `-f`/`--config-file` argument without the value as well.
+  When no value is provided, `./.mirrord/mirrord.json` is assumed.
+  [#1706](https://github.com/metalbear-co/mirrord/issues/1706)
+
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Added ping pong subtask to mirrord-extproxy to keep agent connection alive while it is
+  up. [#3030](https://github.com/metalbear-co/mirrord/issues/3030)
+- `agent.privileged` no longer affects targetless agents' pods.
