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.
