+There are no breaking changes when upgrading to 3.1.x. Check the [Release Notes](https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo/releases/tag/3.1.0) for the contents of the release.
+
+### New setting: `DD_OS_MESSAGE_ENABLED`
+
+This release adds the `DD_OS_MESSAGE_ENABLED` setting (default `True`), which controls the open-source promotional ("Upgrade to Pro") banner. The default preserves the existing behavior. Set `DD_OS_MESSAGE_ENABLED=False` to hide the banner; when disabled, DefectDojo skips the outbound request that fetches the message.
