Unreleased

[0.6.0] - 2026-05-09

A connectivity-and-iteration release: Open Design becomes a fully bidirectional MCP citizen (external MCP client with 39 templates), ships Cloudflare Pages deployment for generated artifacts (with custom domains), advances Critique Theater to Phase 6 (interrupt + project-keyed run registry), and lands a redesigned top bar, draggable file tabs, batch delete, vector PDF export, agent-callable research/search, and Orbit activity summaries. Hyperframes learns the HTML-in-Canvas API. New BYOK provider (Ollama Cloud), new agent capabilities (Gemini 3 preview + GPT-5.1 codex picker + DeepSeek v4), new design systems (BMW M, Slack, Cisco, Webex, Mission Control, Urdu Modern), eight new skill bundles, and Turkish + Thai locales. 136 merged PRs since 0.5.0.

0.4.1 - 2026-05-06

0.4.1 is the startup hotfix for the broken 0.4.0 desktop packages.

0.4.0 - 2026-05-05
