+### v2.35.2 (08-Sep-2022)
+
+- Updated usage guide to mention the need to enable "Message Content Intent" to use a bot as a medium for exporting messages.
+- [CLI] Fixed an issue where passing an existing directory as the output path failed when exporting multiple channels (for example, when running `exportdm`). An ambiguous output path will now always be treated as a directory path if that directory already exists. If it doesn't exist, it will be treated as a file path, matching the previous behavior.
+
 ### v2.35.1 (26-Aug-2022)
 
 - Added `~` character as an alias for `-` when negating a message filter. This should make it easier to use negated filters from CLI where the dash character already has other meanings.

 It works with direct messages, group messages, and server channels, and supports Discord's dialect of markdown as well as all other rich media features.
