Pre-release
Release Notes: VoxAI IDE v1.7.0 "Agentic"
"The Local-First Autonomy Update"
This release marks a major shift towards fully autonomous, local-first development. VoxAI now runs standard GGUF models natively, allowing for privacy-focused, offline coding agents that can read your codebase, plan architectures, and execute complex refactors without sending a single byte to the cloud.
🌟 New Features
⚡ Native Local LLM Support (GGUF)
No Ollama Required: Added a built-in inference engine powered by llama-cpp-python.
Drag & Drop: Simply place .gguf models (Llama-3, Mistral, Gemma) into models/llm/ and they appear instantly in the provider list.
Privacy: Run 100% offline with zero data leakage.
🛡️ Command & Control Modes
Phased Strategy (Mode 1): The agent drafts a plan and pauses for your approval before executing each phase. Best for architectural changes.
Siege Mode (Mode 2): "Go Limitless." The agent enters a continuous loop of Code -> Error -> Debug -> Patch until the test passes. Best for stubborn bugs.
🧠 Deep RAG Integration
Semantic Memory: Now defaults to a high-speed local vector search.
Auto-Indexing: The IDE automatically indexes your project in the background for retrieval.
Tooltips: Added explainers for advanced RAG settings (Top-K, Min Score).
🎨 UI & UX Polish
Live Appearance: Change chat colors (User/AI) instantly without restarting.
Tool Visualization: XML tool calls are now parsed and displayed as interactive "Tool Used" widgets in the chat, keeping the interface clean.
Stop Button: Improved state management ensures the "Stop" button actually stops the agent and resets correctly.
🐛 Bug Fixes
Local Model Hallucinations: Fixed an issue where small models (3B/7B) would aggressively hallucinate tool calls. Implemented a CODING_AGENT_LITE system prompt specifically for them.
Settings Crash: Fixed a regression where opening Settings would crash due to legacy network RAG fields.
Layout: Moved "Appearance" settings to the main dialog for better accessibility.
Legacy RAG Removed: Support for external vector engine URLs has been removed in favor of the optimized internal engine.
Get Started:
Run ./setup_integration.bat to install dependencies.
Drop a model in models/llm/.
Run ./start_IDE.bat.
