v0.7.0
Latest Stable release

Jul 29, 2026 Bundled Hermes 0.19.0-cn.7 core

The 0.7.0 stable release introduces a new workbench, external-memory setup and monitoring, browser companion mode, and smoother profile and session workflows, powered by runtime-v0.19.0-cn.7.
- New Launch a redesigned workbench that brings runtime health, recent sessions, workspaces, boards, and task shortcuts together.
- New Add setup and monitoring pages for OpenViking and Hindsight, including component health, memory distribution, model usage, and processing queues.
- New Add browser companion mode for securely connecting to the desktop-managed core with live connection status.
- Improved Add quick profile switching and make profile changes, gateway restarts, and persisted UI settings more reliable.
- Improved Improve model selection, session export, and coding-agent delegation, and restore reasoning-effort controls in the new-task composer.
- Fixed Upgrade to runtime-v0.19.0-cn.7, fixing OpenViking / Hindsight provider discovery in packaged builds and keeping memory setup and verification inside the active desktop-managed profile.
v0.6.3

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.

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.
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.
