BharatCode native research preview 0.2.0-rc.2.20261014.1791999423
BharatCode native research tools preview 0.2.0-rc.2.20261014.1791999423
Source: 1352ae0d88a4ff05aceb6b5e7c9402c884434789.
This preview adds native research_sources.paper and research_sources.papers tools for retrieving full papers, retaining original PDFs, and extracting their text. Scanned or sparse-text pages can use the English OCR model bundled with the runtime, including on a clean cache without network access.
Linux x64 passed all 21 source-bound release gates on this clean revision. The complete unit suite reported 39,259 passed, 191 skipped, and one expected failure. Packaged-host checks fetched and retained a full arXiv PDF and verified OCR with networking disabled and a fresh cache.
The unsigned Windows x64 installer passed the actual installer, onboarding, workspace, extensions, skills, restart, and link workflows under Wine on Linux. This is Wine-based Windows qualification; a native Windows machine was not available for verification. Windows may show an “Unknown publisher” prompt. The Windows preview is updated manually from the installer.
Linux x64 downloads are available as AppImage, DEB, and RPM. Windows x64 is available as an unsigned EXE. SHA-256 manifests and qualification receipts are attached. ARM64 builds are not included.
BharatCode Linux preview 0.2.0-rc.2.20261014.1791982706
BharatCode Linux x64 preview. All local release gates passed for this clean source revision and exact AppImage, Fedora RPM, and Debian DEB: build, typecheck, lint, documentation, complete unit suite, core packages, native graphics, managed runtime, packed installation, browser interactions, production runtime and sandboxed AppImage onboarding/restart, native package metadata, real updater checksum rejection and replacement, and marketing browser interactions. The local receipt is included. Check for updates in the Application menu, download the verified update, then confirm restart. Native package updates may require system authorization. Older manual-update AppImages require this installer once before future in-app updates. Account-dependent workflows, Windows and ARM64 are outside this preview scope.

BharatCode Linux preview 0.2.0-rc.2.20261013.1791888385
BharatCode Linux preview
This preview adds two conversation improvements:
- The + action in Chats starts a standalone session.
- Select text in a model response and choose Ask about this to place that exact quote in the composer. The existing draft is kept, the composer regains focus, and nothing is sent automatically.
Verified Linux x64 downloads:
The AppImage SHA256 is f408b29826bd3943c6f331a1a75b61342016ecc76eba9adc253f977d3eebf328. The source-bound Linux release receipt records all 21 passing gates. This is a Linux x64 preview; Windows and ARM64 packages are outside this release.
BharatCode preview 0.2.0-rc.2.20261013.1791875920 — chat links and Workbench
BharatCode now supports private chat references without exporting a session. Open a chat's menu, choose Copy chat link, paste it into another BharatCode chat and send your request with the model you want. The selected model receives a bounded snapshot of the referenced completed history. Opening the link selects that existing chat in the owning local profile. Missing or archived chats show a notice.
This release also ships the selected Workbench interface: projects and conversations lead the sidebar, Tools & workflows lives in the footer, the output pane has more room, and the terminal docks beneath it. Shared motion timings respect reduced motion. Charts support series toggles and keyboard point navigation; diagrams support improved Fit and native-size zoom, and SVG exports use settled geometry.
Includes the source-tool and fresh Research-chat fixes from the previous preview.
Linux x64 includes AppImage, Fedora RPM and Debian DEB, qualified through the complete local release pipeline. Windows x64 includes the unsigned manual-update installer, tested for payload dependencies, actual installation, onboarding, chat references and cold-link reopening under Wine. Native Windows hardware has not been verified. Qualification reports and checksums accompany the assets.
BharatCode Windows and Linux preview — Research sources and fresh chats
Windows x64 and Linux x64 previews now include the latest workspace and research changes from the same source revision.
- Research tools save evidence into the project Sources list, which updates without a manual refresh. Successful web retrievals retain the returned evidence automatically.
- Starting a new workspace chat creates a fresh conversation and keeps the selected Chat, Coding, Research, or Writing workflow.
- Windows downloads follow the qualified release version alongside Linux.
Linux passed all 21 release checks, 39,177 unit tests, browser journeys, AppImage launch/restart, Fedora and Debian installation, and updater validation. One test is an expected failure and 183 are skipped.
The unsigned Windows installer passed runtime, installation, onboarding, and restart checks under Wine. The packaged Windows app also passed a controlled model-to-source-tool-to-Sources flow, fresh Research chat creation, reader access, and reload persistence. Native Windows hardware testing remains unverified. Windows preview updates use the installer manually.
BharatCode Windows preview — installer branding fix
This Windows x64 preview fixes the remaining upstream branding in the native installer. Setup and uninstall artwork use the BharatCode mark and wordmark, and the installed application's manifest declares BharatCode as its product and author. Executable and shortcut names are explicitly BharatCode.
A fresh installation without a directory override was verified at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\BharatCode. The default Electron profile directory was verified at %APPDATA%\BharatCode. Existing session, credential, and plugin data remain in their compatible storage locations; internal package identifiers and upstream license attribution are retained.
The exact installer passed fresh installation, extracted installer-artwork comparison, packaged metadata, default profile directory, runtime payload, onboarding, workspace, Extensions, Skills, and restart checks under Wine on Linux. Native Windows hardware verification remains outstanding. This is an unsigned preview with manual installer updates.
Source revision, qualification reports, and Windows checksums are attached. Linux packages remain available in the preceding multi-platform release.
BharatCode preview 0.2.0-rc.2.20261011.1791728939
Chat, Coding, Research, and Writing now open independent conversations within each project. Switching from Chat to Coding creates a fresh destination on first entry and remembers it afterward; returning restores the previous conversation and unsent draft. Existing conversations remain available in history, and earlier presentation-only selections migrate to Chat.
Coding opens with the editor as the main surface and its conversation alongside it. Editor, Changes, and Checks separate file editing, captured Git diff, and language actions. Tool changes keep Monaco mounted. Layout controls and document extras are grouped, each workflow has a distinct accent, and shared spring press feedback, panel transitions, keyboard navigation, and live reduced-motion support improve the workbench controls.
Qualified Linux x64 preview: AppImage, Fedora RPM, Debian DEB, updater feed, checksums, and source-bound local qualification receipt are included. Check for updates from the Application menu. ARM64 is outside this release's verified scope.
Windows x64 preview: the unsigned .exe installer is now included. Built locally on Linux with MinGW and Wine. The exact installer passed installation, native Windows payload checks (terminal, FFI, images, HTML, pnpm and search), workspace, Extensions, Skills and restart checks under Wine. Native Windows hardware verification remains outstanding. Windows may show an Unknown publisher warning. Windows preview updates use manual installer downloads. The Windows source revision, checksums and local qualification report are included as separate assets; Linux packages and their qualification remain unchanged.
BharatCode Linux preview 0.2.0-rc.2.20261011.1791718783
This Linux preview brings the connected Coding, Writing, Research, and MCP Apps workflows into the desktop app, with polished panels, responsive layouts, keyboard focus, and motion that respects reduced-motion preferences.
- Coding: Monaco editing, precise selection review, project context, and a project journal.
- Writing: Lexical editing and review requests that retain the selected text and document context.
- Research: immutable evidence, citations, notebook execution, and explicit runtime capability states.
- MCP Apps: sandboxed app previews and authorization scoped to the current app generation.
- Reading: Visuals 0.1.4, clearer section titles, neutral body text, larger formula tables, aligned equations and units, and safe asynchronous diagram editing.
- Appearance: upgrades retain existing theme choices; the code editor follows light/dark changes; Coding diagnostics, review controls, and workspace actions share themed surfaces, keyboard focus, and reduced-motion behavior.
- Reliability: provider continuation retains truncated tool arguments without executing incomplete calls, strict stream validation passes, and broken-pipe handling no longer interrupts desktop startup/update behavior.
The AppImage, RPM, and DEB were built from the same clean source revision and passed all 21 local Linux release gates. The attached receipt records the source commit, gate results, and artifact hashes. Luna max reviewed the integration and the final continuation and diagram regressions.
Use the Application menu to check for updates, or install one of the packages below. This remains a Linux x64 preview; Windows and ARM64 packages are not included in this release.
