v1.0.0 — AI-Hands launch
v1.0.0 — 2026-05-15 — AI-Hands launch
Rebrand of AIWander/hands → AIWander/AI-Hands. Same Rust codebase, fresh
versioning. The hands.exe binary name and hands:* MCP tool prefix are
unchanged — existing MCP configs in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cowork,
Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, LM Studio keep working without edits.
New in this release
- New tool:
vision_screenshot_hidden_window— always-PrintWindow API
captures a window's pixels without bringing it to the foreground. Replaces
thebehind=truemode ofwindow_screenshot. window_titleparameter onhands_capture— focus a named window via
UIA before routing the capture.offset_x/offset_yonhands_click— when non-zero, every rung of
the 7-rung click ladder resolves the element by its native method then
coord-clicks at bbox.center + offset. When both zero, ref/selector
click is preserved on rungs 1-4 for reliability.
Deprecation markers (handlers preserved)
find_and_click→ usehands_click(offsets now available on every rung)retry_click→ usebrowser_clickwith retry option (coming in next browser-mcp release)read_screen_text→ usevision_screenshot_ocr(optionalwindow_titleviahands_capture)type_into_window→ usehands_type(already includes focus verification and chunked typing)window_screenshot(default mode) → usevision_screenshot; for hidden-window capture usevision_screenshot_hidden_window
Note on versioning
This is v1.0.0 of AIWander/AI-Hands, the renamed successor repo. The previous
repo (AIWander/hands) reached v1.3.5 before the rename; that history is
preserved in this repo's git log but v1.x.x tags have been stripped so the
tag list starts clean at v1.0.0. The codebase here is the v1.3.5 baseline
plus today's source improvements layered on top.
