 ## Version 1.5
 
+### Version 1.5.1 (1.5.240311000)
+
+This is a servicing release of the Windows App SDK that includes critical bug fixes for the 1.5 release.
+
+- Fixed an issue where self-contained apps may fail to build due to not being able to copy "map.html".
+- Fixed an issue where `MapControl` would fail to initialize due to rejecting valid tokens. For more info, see GitHub [#9324](https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/9324).
+- Fixed an issue where `MapControl` loaded with a blue background. For more info, see GitHub [#9377](https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/9377).
+- Fixed an issue where clicking on the chevron of a `NavigationViewItem` did not correctly expand or collapse on a single click. This also caused menus to show as blank when clicking the chevron in `PaneDisplayMode="Top"` mode. For more info, see GitHub [#9423](https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/9423) and [#9426](https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/9426).
+- Fixed an issue where tapping on a `NavigationViewItem` with touch or pen would prevent the item from responding to any future input. For more info, see GitHub [#9429](https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/9429).
+- Fixed a crash when clicking on an item in the `NavigationView.PaneFooter` area. For more info, see GitHub [#9396](https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/9396).
+- Fixed an issue where icons in menus were sometimes showing in the wrong place. For more info, see GitHub [#9409](https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/9409).
+- Fixed an issue where acrylic does not show on menus until switching away from the window and back. For more info, see GitHub [#9406](https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/9406).
+- Fixed a crash which could occur during `TextBox`/`RichEditBox` initialization. For more info, see GitHub [#9216](https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/9216).
+- Fixed some noisy exceptions which `NavigationView` threw and caught on destruction.
+- Fixed an issue where a "pinch to zoom" gesture would sometimes show up as a pan or tap due to an incorrect `PointerCaptureLost` message firing.
