+### Release 24.03
+
+This is the first `G3v5` release.
+It also introduces the [portable Visual Studio Code][vscode-portable] installation.
+
+*Remark*: The version number `G3v4` has been skipped, to align the numbering with the sibling project [accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3][accetto-github-ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3].
+
+The updated script `set_user_permissions.sh`, which is part of Dockerfiles, skips the hidden files and directories now.
+It generally should not have any unwanted side effects, but it may make a difference in some scenarios, hence the version increase.
+
+The default `Visual Studio Code` installation path is `$HOME/.vscode-portable/code` and it can be changed by setting the build argument `ARG_VSCODE_PATH`.
+
+By setting the build argument `ARG_VSCODE_VERSION` it's possible to install a particular `Visual Studio Code` version.
+
+The complete `Visual Studio Code` profile is by default in the folder `$HOME/.vscode-portable/code/data`.
+
+Note that the portable `Visual Studio Code` does not support automatic updates.
+However, manual updating is really easy.
+Visit the official [Portable Mode][vscode-portable] page for more information.
+
+Alternatively you can pull or build an updated `accetto` image containing the new `Visual Studio Code` version.
+
 ### Release 23.12
 
 This release brings new images containing the free open-source utility `NVM` (Node Version Manager), which allows installing and using multiple `Node.js` versions concurrently. No `Node.js` version is installed by default.

-This file describes the **third version** (G3v3) of the project, which however corresponds to the **fourth version** (G3v4) of the **sibling project** [accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3][accetto-github-ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3].

+*Remark*: The version number `G3v4` has been skipped, to align the numbering with the **sibling project** [accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3][accetto-github-ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3].
 
 The **second version** (G3v2) and the **first version** (G3v1, or simply G3) will still be available in this GitHub repository as the branches `archived-generation-g3v2-ubuntu` and `archived-generation-g3v1`.
+The **third version** (G3v3) was not archived, because the changes are minor.
+
+The version `G3v5` brings only one significant change comparing to the previous version `G3v3` and it also introduces the [portable Visual Studio Code][vscode-portable] installation.
 
-The version `G3v3` brings the following major changes comparing to the previous version `G3v2`:
+- The updated script `set_user_permissions.sh`, which is part of Dockerfiles, skips the hidden files and directories now.
+It generally should not have any unwanted side effects, but it may make a difference in some scenarios, hence the version increase.
+
+The version `G3v3` has brought the following major changes comparing to the previous version `G3v2`:
 
 - The updated startup scripts that support overriding the user ID (`id`) and group ID (`gid`) without needing the former build argument `ARG_FEATURES_USER_GROUP_OVERRIDE`, which has been removed.
 - The user ID and the group ID can be overridden during the build time (`docker build`) and the run time (`docker run`).
