Recon 0.2.2 — Windows and macOS
Recon now runs natively on Windows, with an x64 installer and a portable ZIP. The macOS download remains available in the same release.
- Windows uses native window controls, Ctrl shortcuts, a GPUI Kit app menu and Windows fonts.
- Custom shell tools run through Windows PowerShell 5.1 with JSON input on stdin. MCP tells agents which operating system and shell they are using.
- Settings, certificates and project data use standard per-user Windows directories. Development builds remain isolated from installed Recon.
- The installer adds a Start menu shortcut and offers an optional desktop shortcut. Uninstall keeps project data.
- Runtime DLLs are included in both Windows packages; users do not need Rust, Node.js or Visual Studio.
- Windows has its own certificate import instructions. Recon does not automatically trust the proxy root.
