 # QOwnNotes Changelog
 
 ## 22.8.4

+  - for more information please take a look at the
+    [MainWindow scripting documentation](https://www.qownnotes.org/scripting/classes.html#mainwindow)
 - the snap deployment process is now working again (for [#2588](https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/issues/2588))
