Pre-release
Aefos AI 0.19.0-beta — Chat + Terminal + in-process MCP server for RAD Studio Delphi 13.
This beta is all about reliability on real, varied machines (third-party install feedback).
Fixed
- No more black Chat panel. GPU compositing is now off by default (the cause of the black screen on some GPUs/drivers/VMs — the Chat is text, so no visible cost). If WebView2 still can't start, the Chat falls back to plain text with an "install WebView2" notice instead of going black.
- Docked Chat/Terminal reliably comes back — if the pane vanishes after a desktop/layout switch, its menu entry brings it forward again (it used to stay hidden until a profile switch or IDE restart).
- About dialog no longer clips its last line (Chat and Terminal).
- Consistent version across Chat and Terminal.
Changed
- Chat/executor settings editable without an open project (on the Welcome page) — pick your AI CLI, path, model and log in before opening any project.
- Smoother first-open (dark "Loading…" placeholder instead of a black flash).
- Inserting a method now shows the same reviewable red/green diff (accept/reject with an optional reason) as editing.
- Installer only asks to close RAD Studio when it's actually running.
Install
Download Aefos-Setup-0.19.0.exe, close RAD Studio, run it. Requires RAD Studio Delphi 13 (BDS 37.0). Verify against Aefos-Setup-0.19.0.exe.sha256. Community edition is free (incl. internal business use) under the EULA.
Advanced: set AEFOS_WEBVIEW_ENABLE_GPU=1 to opt back into GPU compositing if your machine has a good GPU.
