AILIS v1.4.0 Release Notes

Release candidate date: 2026-08-17

Highlights

  • Aligns the desktop release metadata and all localized README version badges on 1.4.0.
  • Keeps the lightweight core installer model: local language models, Python/voice runtimes, Unity assets, caches, and evaluation data remain optional or external.
  • Moves frontend-only Vite, Three.js, and VRM packages out of production dependencies after their code is compiled into dist.
  • Limits Electron language packs to English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
  • Removes production source maps and unused Stockfish engine variants. Chess analysis retains the exact lite single-thread JavaScript/WASM pair used by AILIS.
  • Reuses the pinned local Electron distribution for deterministic offline packaging and emits a release manifest plus SHA256SUMS.txt.

Validation

  • 195 release-gate runtime and protocol tests passed with 0 failures.
  • The Vite production build completed successfully; the optimized web VRM is 49.6% smaller than its source asset.
  • AILIS.exe, setup, and portable executable metadata all report file/product version 1.4.0.
  • The packaged Stockfish payload contains only stockfish-18-lite-single.js and stockfish-18-lite-single.wasm; a real chess-analysis smoke test completed successfully.
  • No source maps or frontend-only build dependencies are present in the production ASAR.
  • Release-manifest hashes and SHA256SUMS.txt were recalculated after the final build and verified locally.
