v0.19.0

Kineviz Desktop v0.19.0

New

• Dashboards — a new Dashboard panel. Describe what you want and the agent builds charts, KPIs, gauges, and insight widgets from your canvas, a saved view, or a database query. Refine widgets in conversation, edit data inline, pin a dashboard to a dock, import and export dashboard JSON, and generate a downloadable report.
• Multi-table CSV/Excel import — load several CSV files or Excel worksheets at once and map them onto one graph with a visual mapping canvas (composite keys, cross-table joins, self-loop relationships). Auto Map uses the model configured in the Agent panel when one is available.
• Schema Vis — a new panel for exploring a project's schema, and inline renaming of categories and relationships from the Project panel.
• Starter sandboxes — Start Here, Kineviz Basics, and Ultimate Beneficial Ownership Investigation ship with Desktop as Create from Sandbox templates.
• Guided tour controls in the status bar — registered tours show a TOUR pill with current-step context, progress, step navigation, and open/exit actions, backed by the new gxr.tour.register() API.
• New database connectors — ArcadeDB, Google AlloyDB Omni, Azure Cosmos DB for Apache Gremlin, FalkorDB, Apache TinkerPop Gremlin Server and JanusGraph, TigerGraph, HugeGraph, TuGraph, and LatticeDB. Gremlin backends run Gremlin directly in the query bar.
• Elasticsearch as a SQL source — the SQL panel now builds graphs from any SQL source, including a new REST-based Elasticsearch data source.
• Compact Agent panel — a conversation-first layout that stays usable at small panel heights.
• Agent attachments — attach PDFs, CSVs, and Project Files to a prompt.
• Copy a prompt — a copy button on your own messages in the Agent panel.
• Model connectivity diagnostic — Admin > Agent > Model can sanity-check a model's connection before you rely on it.
• gxr.map API — the legacy map API is now a typed gxr.map namespace.
• Project models in headless runs — gxr.agent.run() can select and inherit models stored on the project.
• Change language inside a project — switch languages from the account menu or Project > Settings; the app asks before reloading and lets you save unsaved work first.

Improved

• Query bar — one compact chrome for the collapsed chip and the active bar, and the ⌘K keycap follows the theme.
• Navigation bar — drag to reorder items in the left and right navbars, the expand/collapse toggle sits on the rail's edge, and the expanded state is saved with the workspace.
• Workspaces — the bottom dock's layout is saved and restored, and Save Workspace opens with a unique name you can just confirm.
• Projects page — improved filters.
• Agent panel — a friendlier state when no model is configured, prompts keep their line breaks, new threads are named automatically instead of "New Chat", and follow-ups queue on Enter while the agent is busy (the Queue button is gone).
• Agent models — project models keep and use their own API key, a model's name survives an id change, and the admin model editor completes a pasted config from the provider registry.
• Agent connectors — fixed and simplified.
• Agent session storage — idle transcripts, artifacts, and thumbnails move to disk, so sessions stay small and open quickly.
• Tips and errors — one consistent card for tips and errors, and database connection or query failures now explain what went wrong and how to fix it, for every database type.
• Database picker — searchable in every language and grouped by query-language family.
• Query panel — every language tab opens with a runnable example, and the editor's syntax highlighting and completions follow the database's query language.
• Gremlin and openCypher compatibility — GraphXR probes what an endpoint actually supports (transport, serialiser, lambdas, TLS) instead of assuming, with a Compatibility section on the connection form to pin overrides. openCypher servers without the db.schema.* procedures now work.
• BigQuery and Spanner — node and relationship counts come from the base tables instead of a full graph walk, which is far cheaper.
• Rendering — frames are drawn on demand, so an idle canvas no longer burns CPU and GPU, and a lost GL context pauses behind a recovery banner instead of killing the tab.
• Startup — a loading curtain shows while the app boots instead of a blank page.
• Files panel — the per-project upload quota is enforced and usage is shown.
• Legend — one node legend and one relationship legend at a time.
• Pinned grovebook — keeps your page when the panel is moved or re-docked.
• Guided tour — faster element finding, a popover that never blinks, Next runs the step's recovery on the first press, and tour popovers no longer close the UI they are explaining.
• Extension panels — the iframe follows its panel when the viewport resizes, and dock resizing over an iframe no longer sticks.
• Legacy screens rebuilt on AntD — jQuery, jQuery-UI, and Bootstrap are gone; the login, register, reset, admin, and SQL screens are rebuilt.
• Admin portal — Project Analytics loads in a fraction of the time, the project Extensions panel links to the admin Extensions tab, and cloud agent sessions can be inspected and deleted from Settings > Billing, where each card is now deep-linkable.
• Localization — a browser set to a language GraphXR does not ship falls back to English (or the next language you list) instead of raw message ids.

Fixed

• Freshly opened views no longer appear unsaved.
• Arrow heads are hidden when the canvas is cleared, and the memory leaks behind white screens in long sessions are closed.
• Windows: agent tool paths, KoreDB project folder paths, and shell process cleanup now behave the same as on macOS and Linux.
• The compact Agent panel's "no model connected" state and model status pill render again.
• Opening a new agent thread no longer logs a 404.
• The Query panel no longer hangs on table results from the database proxy; a failed query reports an error.
• gxr.toast() works again.
• "Add demo project" works again for projects saved with a legacy id.
• The quick-layout palette opens again.
• Uploaded files keep the name they were picked with.
• Projects with a username but no password connect correctly.
• Project Files API access is authorized by project membership.
• Dashboards: the delete button stays reachable on narrow widgets, interval refresh works without the charts blinking, and charts no longer silently truncate data.
• The admin page no longer loads blank.

v0.18.0

Kineviz Desktop v0.18.0

New

• Saved workspaces — save a workspace layout and reopen it automatically with the new Open Workspace on Load project setting.
• Redesigned workspace surface — a centered canvas with tabs, splits, and layout toggles, plus a new bottom dock that hosts the Query surface.
• Redesigned Projects page — a workspace home with a rail, a recent-projects row, and favorites. Creating a project now lets you start from a sandbox.
• Secrets vault — store named secrets at user, project, or global scope and read them from scripts and agent tools via the gxr.secrets API.
• Agent asks you questions inline — when the agent needs a decision, it presents a question card in the conversation instead of guessing.
• Suggested questions — the agent proposes follow-up questions that take the conversation so far into account.
• Desktop-only agent tools — runShellCommand and fetchUrl let the agent work with your local machine, and linked-folder projects now show .git read-only.
• Amazon Neptune and Neptune Analytics — connect to both service types directly.
• PostgreSQL 19 Property Graph — connect to native PG property graphs.
• RocketGraph — direct-connect support, with node expansion by key property.
• Google Direct Login for BigQuery and Spanner — sign in with your Google account instead of managing service-account keys.
• Wide navigation bar — expand the left navbar to show text labels alongside icons.
• Redesigned camera controls — a compact toolbar with new Fly Out and Center To actions.
• Usage and budget tracking — see agent spend and set budgets.
• Suggested view titles — GraphXR proposes a name when you save a new view.
• Windows on ARM — native Windows arm64 builds, alongside macOS, Windows x64, and Linux.

Improved

• Redesigned login and sign-up — a modernized sign-in screen matching the Projects shell, plus a rebuilt sign-up form.
• Redesigned context menu — cleaner, more legible, and easier to scan.
• Clearer agent errors — the agent explains what went wrong instead of echoing a raw error, suggests the right GraphXR API when a script calls something that doesn't exist, and points you at the KoreDB guidance when a query fails.
• Steadier agent sessions — the session history list is paginated, sessions are correctly attributed to the person who ran them, a new thread opens automatically, and agent models are now stored with your account rather than in a single browser.
• Consistent agent behavior everywhere — the cloud and Desktop agents now run the same core code.
• Legend — hover over a long category name to see its full name.
• Query feedback — a query that succeeds with zero results now says so clearly.
• Status bar — clicking a node or relationship count opens the Data Store tab.
• KoreDB imports — drag-and-drop imports show progress in a toast.
• Faster project menus — Recent Projects and the admin user lists load a bounded page instead of the entire list.
• Admin portal — Models is now the default Agent tab, session tables honour the page-size selector, and the tab set reflects your deployment's configuration.
• Account menu — one consistent trigger, and the logo links home.
• Screenshots — gxr.screenshot no longer squishes category icons or captures stray UI chrome.

Fixed

• KoreDB/Kuzu database migration is more robust, and new databases are created under the name queries resolve.
• Grove status checks can no longer hang, and Grove links resolve reliably.
• BigQuery now requests read-only access.
• Sandbox and project card artwork is shown in full instead of being cropped.
