v2.0.5

Released 2026-07-09

Highlights

  • Launch update notice: when a new version is available, a 5-second notification appears and it can be installed with one click from Settings.

Fixes

  • "Install and Restart" and other confirmation-gated actions (quit, MCP remove/repair/rollback, backup restore, directory move) no longer silently do nothing: the confirmation now uses an in-app dialog that works reliably inside the desktop shell.
  • Errors from button actions are now surfaced as a visible error notification.

v2.0.4

Released 2026-07-09

Highlights

  • In-app self-update now completes cleanly end to end: the desktop shell also shuts down properly during the update, the installer hits no file-lock conflicts, and the app comes back automatically on the new version.

Fixes

  • Removed the misleading "backend connection lost" error shown during updates; its Retry button can no longer launch a new backend mid-install and corrupt the update.

v2.0.3

Released 2026-07-08

Highlights

  • MCP installs are now resilient to broken dependency updates in community packages: a dependency release that breaks compatibility after the MCP was published is detected, automatically downgraded to the version its developer actually tested, and the install verification is re-run.

Fixes

  • Works independently of the package name and on every system, including machines where uv is unavailable (os error 448); if the repair does not apply, the original error is reported unchanged.

v2.0.2

Released 2026-07-02

Highlights

  • The setup wizard now detects update vs fresh install: updates show a "vX → vY, your data is preserved" welcome and skip already-answered pages.
  • Refreshed UI: consistent content width on every page, a modern menu with an active-page indicator, unified card/button/table styling and keyboard focus outlines.
  • The English UI is now fully English: all remaining strings and backend-generated error messages are produced in the selected language.
  • In-app updates are verified end to end: completion is confirmed via the installer exit code, and failures show the exact reason.

Fixes

  • The setup wizard no longer looks frozen at launch or on "Install": cleanup runs only when needed, with visible progress.
  • The uninstaller now removes everything, including the extracted backend cache (%LOCALAPPDATA%), and shows status text during long steps.
  • The Windows "untrusted mount point (os error 448)" error no longer aborts MCP installs: an existing Python matching the package requirement is used automatically (version-agnostic).

v2.0.1

Released 2026-07-01

Highlights

  • Managed runtimes (Node/Python/uv) now live in a shared machine folder (%PROGRAMDATA%): they are no longer re-downloaded on app update/reinstall and are shared across users.
  • Application data (MCPs, settings, logs) is written to the “data” folder next to the install directory; the folder no longer stays empty.

Fixes

  • The Power-Boost tool could not find installed MCPs; it now reliably detects the real data location.
  • Full uninstall now also clears the shared runtime folder, leaving no residue.

v2.0.0

Released 2026-06-26

Highlights

  • A real Windows app: the panel now opens in a single WebView2 application window instead of a browser tab.
  • Single-file install and a much smaller download (~28 MB); the backend is embedded in the app.
  • Right-click/DevTools/browser shortcuts are disabled; external links open in the system browser.
  • A single tray icon; “Quit” fully closes the app from both the window and the tray.

Fixes

  • Fixed the app not opening (a backend startup crash).
  • Close-to-tray and single-instance are now handled natively.

v1.8.1

Released 2026-06-21

Highlights

  • AI Applications: VS Code is now auto-configured with real connection detection; ChatGPT copies the public gateway URL (it does not support localhost).
  • First-Run is now an ordered, follow-the-menus setup guide.

Fixes

  • A gateway port changed in Settings/First-Run now actually applies on restart.
  • Tray restart reliably closes the old instance; two instances no longer run at once.
  • The app opens only once (single-instance hardened).
  • Home page scrolls again on small screens; Tool Calls “load more” adds +50.

v1.8

Released 2026-06-20

Highlights

  • Tray icon: the app keeps running in the background when the window is closed (Show App / Quit).
  • Live streaming for tool calls; Runtime Center; startup update check.

Fixes

  • Fixed first-install startup race and Python version incompatibility.
