Release notes

New features, improvements, and fixes in every release, at a glance.

  1. v0.6.3

    Latest
    Jul 11, 2026 Bundled Hermes 0.18.2-cn.2 core

    The first Linux desktop release: Linux x64 users can choose a Debian package or a portable AppImage, both bundling the Hermes-CN-Core runtime.

    • New Add a Linux x64 desktop build supporting Ubuntu 22.04+ and Debian 12+.
    • New Ship both a .deb installer and portable AppImage, each bundling runtime-v0.18.2-cn.2.
    • Improved Expand the GitHub Release pipeline to build Windows, macOS, and Linux targets in parallel.
  2. v0.6.2

    Jul 11, 2026 Bundled Hermes 0.18.2-cn.2 core

    A major Models page overhaul: 34 provider presets including Claude Code relays, with each provider's API protocol (Anthropic / OpenAI) clearly labeled and connection tests probing the right protocol; plus OAuth sign-in and a MoA configuration UI.

    • New The Models page becomes a preset provider card grid with 34 entries (adding Claude Code relays like PackyCode and AICodeMirror plus partner channels), with search, drag-to-reorder, and remote catalog updates (new providers land without a client update).
    • New Provider API protocols are now explicit: cards carry Claude / Codex badges, the config panel shows the protocol and a live preview of the final request endpoint, and custom providers can choose the Anthropic (Claude Code) protocol with auto-detection for /anthropic base URLs.
    • New New OAuth sign-in foundation: cookie-authenticated sessions between the desktop and backend, with an expired-session banner and re-login flow.
    • New New selection and configuration UI for MoA (Mixture-of-Agents) presets, aligned with the official 0.18 desktop.
    • Improved Core upgraded to runtime-v0.18.2-cn.2: connection tests and model-list refresh now probe with the provider's protocol (x-api-key for Anthropic gateways), so Claude Code relays no longer misreport valid keys.
    • Fixed Fix re-login and identity restoration issues in remote-access scenarios.
    • Fixed Fix port conflicts across multiple instances and races when two instances share one data directory.
    • Fixed Fix macOS portable packaging failures in the release pipeline and cross-platform zip name collisions.
  3. v0.6.0

    Major update
    Jul 10, 2026 Bundled Hermes 0.18.2-cn.1 core

    A major core upgrade plus the first portable edition: unzip and run with all data kept inside the extracted folder; reasoning effort gains a max level, and duplicate-bubble chat issues are fixed.

    • New Upgrade the core to runtime-v0.18.2-cn.1 (aligned with upstream v0.18.2), adopting the new protocol surface such as tool.generating events, plus a Z.AI international preset.
    • New New portable edition (Windows / macOS zip): unzip and run with no registry writes or AppData leftovers — all data stays in the data folder inside the extracted directory, great for USB drives and isolated environments; upgrade by unzipping over it and keeping data.
    • New Reasoning effort now supports a max level.
    • New New MoA display: reference models render in blocks with aggregation status, and a moa virtual provider joins the model picker.
    • New Add in-place editing, per-project worktree isolation, and a Git review pane.
    • Fixed Fix completed turns rendering as duplicate bubbles, with merged-turn stats now landing on the final reply row.
  4. v0.5.8

    Jun 29, 2026 Bundled Hermes 0.17.0-cn.5 core

    • Fixed Fix the bundled core failing to start when symlinks blocked it from unpacking on some systems.
