Release date: 2026-10-13

Navigation and windows​

• A fixed icon rail and a resizable, collapsible sidebar organize AI, Work, Tools, and LAN Chat. The app opens AI conversations when there is no page to restore.
• Work navigation keeps Tasks and Quotations. Work Overview and the Business Data index are archived for now; related actions can still open the original management pages. Automations, Discover, and Company Connection remain accessible, with Settings in the account menu.
• Sidebar corner backgrounds and duplicate outlines are fixed. Window controls follow macOS and Windows behavior, while closing still checks for unsaved changes.
• Traditional Chinese is now available, with a saved language preference and matching notifications, dates, and emoji panel.

Private AI and company connections​

• Upgrades keep the existing local workspace identity, device credentials, and data. Reconnection preserves administrator access, while sign-out or access revocation rejects old sessions.
• Company Connection shows three states: disconnected, company member, and local host. Private data remains accessible.
• In desktop company mode, the host relays conversations, translation, and images using its configured key. Members do not need to store the company key. An unavailable host does not automatically switch requests to a personal paid service.
• Private AI history, attachments, and run records stay on this computer. Disconnecting from a company keeps the private identity and data; existing data is not moved automatically.
• Reconnection, background tasks, and late responses keep their original identity and AI source, preventing old data from appearing after an account or company switch. Cancelling a turn also stops its upstream request.

Tasks, quotations, and chat​

• Large task boards no longer omit later tasks. Unsaved task and quotation edits can recover under their original identity during the current app session.
• Failed quotation attachments keep the form and progress, and retry uploads only the remaining files. Collaboration conflict handling and private template isolation are improved.
• Chat, contacts, favorites, and local attachments are isolated by identity. Batch sending stops on an account switch; reconnect recovery and connection revocation are improved.
• Data recovery checks the database, attachments, and identity, and keeps a safety copy. A missing initialized database is no longer replaced with an empty one.

Files and synchronization​

• PDF and Word previews no longer remain loading or blank. Image editing tools load offline and keep edits and undo history when switching between viewing and editing.
• Remote editing and synchronization recheck file state and stop overwrites on conflicts. Cancellation, exit, and restart retain transfer ownership and interrupted-transfer records.

Release date: 2026-09-27

Local workspaces​

• A new personal workspace prepares its own local database and user identity on this computer. Creating one while signed in to a platform account uses the same local flow. Platform account details are managed separately from the current local member identity.
• If the local workspace list is temporarily unavailable, the app keeps the existing selection. After an interrupted startup or creation, it checks the identity and database state before opening the workspace or offering recovery.
• Databases in the legacy installation path move to an isolated directory with a pre-upgrade backup. Older clients must upgrade before they can establish sessions, write data, or use real-time collaboration with a new team host.

Team collaboration​

• You can enable LAN team collaboration from an existing personal workspace and keep its data. New local teams have no license expiry or team/member count limit; member identity and role permissions still apply. Verified existing local teams can continue local collaboration after their old commercial authorization expires.
• Members can use device invitation codes to join from another computer and manage their devices. Team owners can review member devices, revoke unused devices, and review or cancel unused invitations.
• Members can leave a team from Settings. This revokes only their own member credentials and device sessions; it does not delete team data. Owners retain the team management identity. If the result is unclear, the app offers a status check before another submission.
• When team enablement or recovery is interrupted, the app checks the existing data and operation record so it can reconcile steps already committed.

Accounts and AI​

• When switching a local workspace, member, or platform account, conversations, approvals, references, translation, and background runs remain bound to their original workspace and account.
• General AI uses the current platform account's subscription and quota. Background runs retain the original consumer account, and usage is counted only after completion is confirmed. Retrying after a lost response does not count the same completion twice. Bring-your-own-key use still follows local settings.
• Platform registration, profile management, and renewal no longer rely on automatic creation of a cloud personal workspace. The related account and quota features require the matching cloud service version.

See the in-app release notes for the complete change list.

AI Conversation Input​

• Type / to choose a work command or conversation action, or @ to pick business records and conversation messages you can access. Keep typing after selecting, then send. Analysis commands stay read-only. The option list appears only for / or @; the old always-visible shortcut buttons and draft-recovery entry are gone.
• Drafts and queued messages are isolated by account, workspace, and conversation, and keep their commands, references, and images. Switching conversations while a send is being prepared no longer mixes in messages or clears a new draft. Legacy drafts recover safely in the background, and a recovery entry appears only when a send result is unclear.
• Stop now works during startup. Requests that were not dispatched are cancelled directly; dispatched requests wait for the original turn to confirm the interruption, and a failed stop can be retried.
• Switching to Plan or another command no longer drops earlier constraints. New threads keep a bounded history reference, while Plan read-only behavior and business confirmations stay the same.
• Desktop chat sends no longer return a 400 error while creating the run record. A failed startup keeps your input and clears the Starting state in the environment panel.
• Model switching is blocked while a turn is running or a startup result is awaiting confirmation. Drafts and history with images stay on an image-capable model instead of switching to text-only. The message context menu is no longer covered by the bottom input area, so Add to AI, Convert to Task Draft, and exporting a single answer remain usable.

References and Context​

• Reference search groups results by exact number, current record, recent references, and other results, with up to eight per page. Recent references survive a refresh and are tracked per workspace; records you can no longer access are hidden.
• Unsaved changes in a business workspace can be previewed and then explicitly added to an AI draft as an unsaved snapshot, without writing to the business tables.
• Task, project, mold, product, and customer lists can be added to AI using the current filter, keeping the search, sort, and record range. Detail pages can add the current record or reference it with @Current Page, fixed to that record.
• You can review the source status, read version, and scope limits of the current context, then validate it again. Message menus, the text-selection toolbar, and answer menus can add content to an AI draft; converting an answer to a task draft keeps the original input and does not send automatically.
• Selections that cross bold text, links, and line breaks can be added to AI. The selection remains accurate after a refresh, the original message is checked again before sending, and invalid content is not silently replaced. Repeated text in the same answer now resolves to the correct position.
• Reference cards now show a read-only detail view before editing. Task cards support View, Edit, Accept, Complete, Archive, Delete, and quick changes for status, priority, and assignee; without edit permission only View remains. A task card no longer overwrites a collaboration conflict automatically: it shows the latest value and your change, then rechecks the version when you confirm.

Long Conversations and Floating AI Window​

• A Back to Top button now appears above the follow-up navigation group in the lower-right corner. It expands on hover or keyboard focus and automatically expands collapsed history when needed.
• Reference cards flow in an adaptive multi-column grid with entity icon, type, status, name, and number. Long names are truncated and can be read on hover or keyboard focus.
• The collapsed AI workspace buoy keeps only the model icon. Hovering expands Split, Floating, and Full Screen on an arc, shows the hovered icon's name, and uses an arrow cursor throughout.
• Multi-question prompts now advance as soon as you pick an option. The last question still waits for Send to submit all answers, while free-form input continues with Next or Enter.

Translation, Export, and Chat​

• The /Translate command uses the existing translation capability, with language, tone, and term-preservation options. It processes only the explicit source and keeps the original chat draft and references.
• Events from the same turn are processed in order, so duplicate or late completion events no longer overwrite a translation cancellation. A translation cache error no longer leaves a finished translation stuck on Processing.
• Paginated image, long-image, and PDF exports now place AI answers on the left and user questions in right-side bubbles, matching the workspace reading layout. Markdown export content is unchanged.
• Contacts, conversation lists, and message avatars show real profile images, falling back to initials when none is set.
• New private or group messages flash the taskbar on Windows and bounce the Dock with an unread badge on macOS. When the window is in the tray or the conversation is muted, the tray icon flashes instead; alerts stop when messages are read or the app returns to the foreground.
• The emoji button opens a panel with categories, Chinese search, and recent emoji. Emoji insert at the cursor and the panel stays open for picking several in a row.
• Kanban cards with multiple image attachments stack their thumbnails, and the full preview switches between images with the arrow buttons or ←/→ while showing the current position and total.
• Recurring tasks are temporarily disabled: the navigation entry is hidden, old addresses return to the regular task list, and the backend no longer exposes recurring-task APIs or automatic generation. Data and code are retained so the feature can return later.

Work Tasks​

• Kanban cards show commenter avatars in the lower-left corner. Hover to open a board with all member comments, newest first; click the avatar area to write a comment, paste images directly with Ctrl/⌘+V, and delete only your own comments.
• Open task details by double-clicking a kanban card; a single click no longer opens them. Kanban cards no longer show task numbers, while the table and task details are unchanged.
• When editing an existing task, added or removed images now submit together with Save, and Cancel restores the original state. Failed uploads remain for retry.

Release date: 2026-09-13

Conversation Export​

• Export current or historical conversations from their menus. A dedicated workspace lets you select messages, choose formats, and preview files.
• Export Markdown, paginated images, a long image, or PDF. Select multiple formats to save together, with zoom, fit-to-width, and page controls. Preview and saving use the same generated files.
• Reading mode hides tool activity. Full-process mode includes recorded tool arguments, results, errors, questions, and confirmations for AI analysis. Credentials are redacted, and missing historical content is identified.
• Select individual messages, all messages, or a consecutive range. Refresh content, cancel generation, retry failures, confirm missing images, and open saved files.

Legacy Task Import​

• Added Import Historical Data in Settings. It discovers local legacy workspace databases and imports tasks with their attachments, participants, dependencies, checklists, logs, and user states.
• Review a preflight plan before importing. Select records and fields individually, and explicitly resolve conflicting numbers, matching names, and user mappings.
• Import only adds or skips records; it does not modify existing records. Source databases remain read-only, a backup is created before execution, and changed plans require another review.
• Review import batches and roll back added records and attachments. Rollback stops if data has since changed or is referenced elsewhere, preserving existing files.

Automations and Notifications​

• Automation configuration now uses Enabled and Paused, distinct from a run that is currently Running.
• Run Now opens its result conversation and synchronizes new messages. Manual runs no longer have a daily run-count limit; scheduled-run budgets remain separate. Duplicate starts and failures receive clear feedback.
• Task rows have a hover menu for running, enabling, pausing, and confirmed deletion. Fixed lingering highlights, New button placement, and detail-state synchronization. Unread indicators now explain their purpose.
• Successful ordinary AI chats no longer generate task-completed notifications. Automation success notifications follow their settings. Duplicate notifications are merged, with improved panel alignment and unread counts.

Floating AI Window and Conversation Navigation​

• The floating window has clearer boundaries. Its toolbar can stay pinned or hide automatically, remembering your preference. The pin sits on the left and hides with the toolbar; Close remains at the far right.
• Hovering over the return-to-bottom control reveals previous-question and next-question controls for navigating long conversations. The group hides at the bottom and supports keyboard use.
• Returning to the bottom uses a brief decelerating scroll that can be interrupted and respects reduced-motion preferences.
• Repeated source references are merged, fixing display issues caused by duplicate records.

Upgrade Notes​

• Legacy import covers tasks and their related data and attachments only. Accounts, permissions, memberships, and other business data are excluded.
• Full-process export includes only saved records. It cannot restore unrecorded or truncated historical content and does not include the model's private internal reasoning.

Release date: 2026-09-09

Workspaces​

• Settings now use one compact list with the current workspace first. Creating, joining, viewing connection details, and restoring archived workspaces have separate dialogs.
• Switching verifies the target identity first. Failed verification keeps the current workspace and session.
• Fixed upgrades sending the same account to an empty personal workspace, including support for legacy team entries without a cloud workspace binding.
• Signing in no longer creates extra personal workspaces. Upgrading a personal workspace to a team keeps its data without creating a spare personal database.
• Added explicit account binding for device personal workspaces, local renaming, and archive restoration. Unsaved changes and pending writes prevent switching.
• Fixed late workspace responses overwriting the new workspace's credentials and keyboard focus in the workspace menu.

Images and Screenshots​

• Added DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision Exp. Official DeepSeek defaults and existing conversations switch to the vision model once; older models remain available for manual selection.
• Fixed tool screenshots being sent as text. Images and screenshots are sent as image input, and conversations with earlier images continue to use a vision model.
• Managed services returning a model without image support now show a clear cloud configuration error instead of a raw JSON error.
• Provider HTTP 402 responses show a clear balance or billing message. Requests can be retried after payment without an incorrect model capability cache blocking them.

Upgrade Notes​

• This update preserves existing workspace databases and attachments. It does not automatically merge or delete historical data.

Release date: 2026-09-08

Fixes​

• Fixed a missing Codex runtime verifier module in the packaged Windows backend that caused the application to fail to start or display a blank window.

Upgrade Notes​

• This update only fixes Windows packaging and startup issues. It does not change the product UI or database schema.

Release date: 2026-09-07

This update includes the AI, workspace, and automation improvements made since the v0.4.8 public release.

Highlights​

• Official Codex App Server is bundled with the application. Business queries and changes remain subject to workspace permissions and risk confirmations.
• Personal, offline, and team workspaces retain separate data, attachments, and conversations.
• Save a conversation as an automation draft, then confirm it to create a daily, weekly, interval, or one-time schedule.
• Choose an existing conversation or a new result conversation for each run. Manage notifications, history, pause, resume, cancel, and Run now.
• Dedicated question cards support free-text replies, multiple questions, choices, skipping, and returning to collapsed questions.
• Paste attachments from the clipboard, search with multiple keywords or pinyin, and receive clearer mold creation validation.

Fixes​

• Fixed stale runtime paths preventing AI conversations or permission-profile loading.
• Fixed automation workspace ownership, incorrect Run now permission failures, execution locations, and result-conversation links.
• Fixed expired-session sign-in navigation and LAN image restoration after restart.

Upgrade Notes​

• Legacy AI conversations and Agent runs are not migrated. Generated images, translations, and recorded business operations are retained.
• Automations run only while the application is open, using Asia/Shanghai time. Interrupted runs require manual continuation.

Release date: 2026-08-22

v0.4.8 does not add a new feature entry. It focuses on keeping official Windows downloads complete and predictable during application updates.

Windows installation and updates​

• Official installers are managed separately from candidate builds, so the public download entry points expose complete release versions only.
• Update metadata is published after the release files are complete, reducing the chance of seeing temporary or incomplete download content during an upgrade.

Release date: August 21, 2026

v0.4.5 focuses on Windows AI Assistant startup reliability. It fixes a case where Hermes incorrectly treated its command pipe as closed after the first session was created, causing the conversation to fail immediately.

AI Assistant​

• Fixes the Hermes gateway exiting as soon as an AI conversation starts in some Windows environments.
• Allows more time for the offline Agent runtime to initialize, avoiding false startup failures on slower devices.
• Adds a real session and complete Agent-turn check before release, reducing the chance of discovering startup failures only after installation.

Release date: August 21, 2026

v0.4.6 continues the Windows AI Assistant reliability work. It focuses on cases where Hermes Agent exits shortly after startup and causes conversations to fail immediately.

AI Assistant​

• Restores the complete offline Agent runtime for Windows installations.
• Completes two consecutive Agent conversations through the same session path used by the application before release.
• Verifies that Hermes Gateway stays alive and ready across both conversations instead of treating startup alone as sufficient.
