[0.2.5] - 2026-10-05

Republished on 2026-10-08 under the same v0.2.5 tag. Existing 0.2.5 installations must download and reinstall this build; the unchanged version is not a higher-version automatic update.

Added

• Persistent personal assistants with project-specific source copies, saved preferences and resumable conversations, alongside the existing daily assistant.
• Durable per-turn state and artifact revisions so later queries, cancellations and reopened conversations retain their own status and outputs.
• Presentation Studio layout and template catalogs, source-figure extraction, native slide editing, and packaged-runtime verification.
• Browser page translation and selection-aware reading actions, with expanded news categories, source images, and translation support.
• Regression coverage for model-switch recovery, task queue isolation, team lifecycle state, artifact ownership, and connector launch environments.

Fixed

• Prevent parallel expert startup from repeatedly unpacking the bundled execution engine; bound startup recovery and report startup failures without masking them as missing deliverables.
• Evaluate read-only researchers and verifiers on findings rather than requiring each expert to create a separate copy of the parent's requested document.
• Pass collected source citations into completion checks for successful external-runtime research, avoiding false partial-completion results; failed and empty fetches do not count as evidence.
• Recover the workspace panel from missing folders, failed loads and timeouts with close, retry and folder-selection controls.
• Label the available-version sidebar entry “更新” / “Update” with a matching update icon and localized accessibility text.
• Honor the selected provider and model after a failed turn; replace stale the execution service connections while preserving the conversation, and apply queued model choices only when their turn starts.
• Align team member names and history across session and conversation views; improve cancellation, completion reporting, and completed-team wrap-up controls during later queries.
• Restrict final presentation delivery to verified outputs from the current task, preserving source material and preventing old uploads from appearing as newly generated deliverables.
• Improve PPT preview rendering, source-preserving edits, native document generation, and Office artifact validation.
• Restore connector startup environments and verify bundled connectors during packaging.
• Localize automation confirmation dialogs and execution progress; keep sidebar branding consistent when collapsed.
• Improve scheduled conversation reuse, run history, WeChat reconnect delivery, and news feed loading and presentation.

Changed

• Build the platform-specific execution runtime from its pinned source during packaging instead of committing generated binaries to the source tree.
• Bundle the updated the execution service host runtime and required presentation dependencies for desktop distribution.
• Expand Windows installer checks for model configuration, document rendering, browser actions, news feeds, and scheduled tasks.

[0.2.3] - 2026-09-24

Fixed

• Restore PDF translation completion and reject incomplete test documents as final deliveries.

• Embed manuscript-relative images in generated PDFs, including Windows temporary-directory aliases, and stop delivery when a required image is missing or cannot be decoded.
• Keep Chinese PDF headings visible when optional system bold fonts are unavailable, and check headings against the final printed text.
• Show the final PDF consistently in answer cards and the output panel, including after renaming; exclude intermediate manuscripts and superseded exports.

Changed

NeoWorker v0.2.0

NeoWorker v0.2.0

Source commit: 651a6f55ff9a47e00579fa6c22e26c83fc45bacf Both platform installers were built from this tag and passed regression tests, packaged-secret scans, and installation and launch checks.

[0.2.0] - 2026-09-21

Added

• Persistent host-owned tool execution, shell session recovery, and runtime diagnostics.
• File cards for Python and other source-code deliverables, and native document
  previews with cross-platform rendering checks.

Fixed

• Preserve original slide count, order, template, and untouched text when optimizing
  PPT content; prevent repeated body copy in KPI frames and report layout defects.
• Improve Office translation batching, text fitting, timeout recovery, PDF output
  checks, and completion checks scoped to the current request.
• Recover public web requests from broken system proxies; improve search fallbacks
  and distinguish reference rail fares from verified live data.
• Improve provider management, conversation continuity, history loading, and
  collapsed tool-error details.

Changed

• Synchronize the tested Huifu development line into the upstream project.
• Set package version to 0.2.0; preserve the exact v0.2.0 tag when manually
  packaging this source release.

NeoWorker v0.1.8

[0.1.8] - 2026-09-04

Added

• Promoted the recovered V21 task-first homepage into the source build: the
  composer is the primary action, followed by a rotating recommended-agent
  hub and compact quick-start cards.
• Release packaging now documents and publishes the Windows NSIS installer and
  Linux x64 Server tarball alongside the macOS DMG/ZIP artifacts.

Fixed

• Kept the full-access default and evidence-based flight-search routing in the
  same source revision as the recovered homepage, so all platform builds share
  the verified behavior.

NeoWorker v0.1.7

[0.1.7] - 2026-09-04

Fixed

• Restored the recovered build's full-access default consistently across the
  permission manager, renderer fallback, settings panel, and task composer.
• Expanded flight route aliases, rejected reverse-direction evidence, and
  preferred the built-in DuckDuckGo route for automatic flight searches while
  preserving explicit provider selections and paid-provider fallback.
• Bundled and checksum-verified the OfficeCLI runtime in macOS packages so
  DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX generation uses the same validated delivery path.
• Added the macOS SDK C++ header fallback needed to rebuild native modules on
  CommandLineTools-only installations.

NeoWorker v0.1.6

[0.1.6] - 2026-09-03

Added

• Restored the focused task-first welcome surface as the default desktop entry point.
• Added a localized recommended-agent hub with portraits, role-aware composer shortcuts, and a direct link to agent management.
• Added responsive layout and regression coverage so the agent hub and quick-start actions remain visible together on smaller windows.

NeoWorker v0.1.5

[0.1.5] - 2026-09-03

Fixed

• Kept the in-app version badge synchronized with the packaged application version so the UI no longer reports the previous release after an update.
