Everfern Desktop v0.1.8 Patch Notes

EverFern v0.1.8 Release Notes

This release focuses heavily on stability, with a large batch of bug fixes across the app, alongside major improvements to Computer Use reliability and model support.

Desktop App

• General Stability Pass: Resolved a large number of miscellaneous bugs across the extension and orchestrator layer, improving overall reliability of the agent loop.
• Rollback System: Introduced a proper rollback mechanism, allowing the agent to cleanly revert state after a failed or interrupted action sequence instead of leaving the session in a broken intermediate state.
• Chat Persistence: Improved chat persistence so conversation state is more reliably retained across sessions and reconnects.

🖥️ UI & UX Improvements

• Expanded Dark Mode Coverage: Fixed remaining light-mode leaks and extended dark mode support to additional views and components that were missed in the initial v0.1.7 rollout.

🤖 Core Agent & Execution

• Computer Use Click Reliability: Fixed an intermittent bug where simulated clicks would silently fail to register, causing inconsistent action execution during computer-use tasks.
• Expanded Qwen Integration: Added further Qwen model optimizations within the computer-use vision pipeline, improving grounding accuracy.
• New Model Support: Added support for Claude Fable 5, along with other underlying model updates.

What's Changed

• Improved Computer Use by @CodenRust in #13
• package by @CodenRust in #14

EverFern Desktop v0.1.7 Patch Notes

We are excited to release EverFern v0.1.7, which brings massive performance and robustness improvements to the Navis browser extension, introduces Dark Mode, and fixes critical UI and execution bugs.

🌐 Navis & Browser Extension (v0.1.2)

The companion browser extension has been updated to v0.1.2. Please ensure your extension updates to see these improvements.

• DOM-First Fallback: Entirely rewrote the Navis Orchestrator execution loop to be DOM-first. The agent will now rely strictly on standard DOM elements for navigation and will only capture hybrid vision (screenshot + DOM) when it explicitly requests it. This significantly reduces token usage and improves execution speed.
• Removed Artificial Delays: Ripped out legacy hardcoded 300ms delays in the extension background runner. The extension now intelligently waits for tab stabilization only when navigating.
• Optimized Memory Profiling: Base64 screenshot strings are now isolated into a ring buffer memory structure. The logger no longer passes hundreds of megabytes of image strings to UI listeners, preventing memory bloat and UI freezing.
• Debugger Stability: Fixed a critical bug in the extension background worker where detaching a chrome.debugger that was already attached caused the browser extension context to crash.
• Network Resilience: The AI retry loop now features exponential backoff to handle HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) and 503 (Service Unavailable) errors gracefully.
• Token Optimization: Rewrote compressHistory to strictly preserve failed AI actions and content extraction, guaranteeing the agent never loses context of past errors while staying within its context window.

🖥️ UI & UX Improvements

• Dark Mode Support: Added full dark mode support across the desktop app! 🌙
• Build Stabilizations: Fixed duplicate style property bugs inside UIHelpers.tsx that were preventing clean builds of the frontend application.
• HITL Fixes: Fixed rendering and type mismatches inside the Human-in-the-loop (HITL) prompt forms.

🤖 Core Agent & Execution

• Computer Use Vision: Integrated Qwen optimizations for computer-use vision grounding.
• VM Terminal Fixes: Applied fixes for the virtual machine terminal executor.
• Mouse Cursor Overlay: Fixed the simulated mouse cursor rendering issues when executing computer-use actions.
• Memory Consolidator: Improved agent state management and memory consolidation when operating over long-running tasks.

EverFern v0.1.6 - Auto-Updater & New Feedback System

Welcome to EverFern v0.1.6! This release introduces two major new features to significantly improve user experience and app maintenance: a seamless auto-updating system and a comprehensive message feedback system.

🚀 What's New

• Seamless Auto-Updater: Say goodbye to manually downloading new releases! EverFern now features a fully integrated auto-updating system built on electron-updater. When a new version drops, it will quietly download in the background. A sleek new notification UI will keep you updated on download progress and prompt you to "Restart and Update" when ready.
• Message Feedback System: Help us improve EverFern's AI models! We've added Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down buttons directly to the chat interface. Giving feedback now opens a beautiful modal where you can specify exactly what went wrong (or right) and explicitly choose how much context to share with our servers (from just the single prompt, to your entire chat history).

🛠️ Improvements & Fixes

• Tool Details Dark Mode: We've polished the interface! The Tool Call Detail panel and Agent Thinking pane now fully support Dark Mode, ensuring a seamless aesthetic regardless of your theme preference.
• Privacy Policy Update: In conjunction with the new feedback system, we have updated our privacy policy on the landing page to transparently disclose how explicit feedback data is handled and securely stored.
• Backend Telemetry: Expanded our API to securely ingest and persist user feedback reports directly into Supabase.
• Various minor UI tweaks, JSX syntax fixes, and underlying refactoring to support IPC bridging for the auto-updater.

Version: v1.0.4-beta
Release Type: Patch Update

0.1.3

This release focuses on a complete overhaul of the Computer Use experience, introducing a
high-fidelity desktop overlay, smarter screenshot handling, and a more robust settings
framework.

✨ New Features

• Animated Desktop Overlay: A new, high-intensity purple border now appears when EverFern is
  active on your desktop. It features a high-fidelity Animated Beam that sweeps around your
  screen, providing a clear visual indicator of the agent's focus.
• Auto-Update Checker: You can now check for new releases directly from the Settings page.
  The app will notify you if a newer version is available on GitHub and provide a direct
  download link.
• Version Tracking: The current build version is now permanently displayed in the Settings
  sidebar for easier troubleshooting and support.

🛠️ Improvements & Refinements

• "Stealth" Screenshots: Implemented Electron Content Protection on the overlay. The agent
  can now "look through" the visual effects to see your desktop clearly, while you still see
  the glowing border. This eliminates the "flicker" during screen capture.
• Navis Defaults Optimized:
  • Vision Grounding is now enabled by default for more precise web navigation.
  • Maximum Steps lowered to 12 for faster execution and reduced token usage.
• Enhanced Abort Logic: Stopping a message or aborting a task now triggers an instant
  "force-hide" on the overlay, ensuring it never persists longer than needed.
• Clean Aesthetics: Removed the status pill and orange bokeh spots for a more minimal, "Pro"
  desktop look.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed a critical TypeScript error related to deprecated enableRemoteModule in Electron.
• Fixed a logic error where the overlay would sometimes fail to appear if its visibility
  state was out of sync.
• Fixed an IPC issue that prevented the custom cursor from moving correctly within the
  overlay.
• Resolved missing net and app imports in the system IPC handler.
