0.25.0 — 2026-10-29

  • Built on Kaze's own Electron (Electron 45, Chromium 156: the same Chromium as Chrome
    today) on Apple Silicon: Kaze presents itself to websites as Chrome does — its user agent,
    its brands ("Google Chrome"), window.chrome, permissions and languages — from the browser
    itself rather than a script on each page. This release is for Apple Silicon only; Intel Macs
    stay on 0.24.1 until their build of Kaze's Electron is ready.
  • A chat keeps running when you start or open another one, as in ChatGPT and Claude: it goes on
    in the background (a spinner in the chat list shows it), and opening it again shows it as it
    goes. Its questions for you stay up, and the tabs it works in are kept.
  • Opening the agent panel no longer makes the window jump (the sidebar vanishing, tabs flying
    left).
  • Saving a custom endpoint no longer freezes Settings: its models follow in the same dialog,
    long model lists are grouped and quick, and two endpoints with Chinese names no longer
    replace each other.
  • A page or part of Kaze that stops responding asks you, as Chrome does: wait, or end it.
  • A renderer keeping a core busy for minutes is noticed: a background tab offers to sleep, and
    Kaze's own views recover by themselves.
  • Settings files are never overwritten with nothing: one that can't be read is kept as a backup.
  • Keyboard shortcuts follow your keyboard layout (AZERTY, QWERTZ…), Enter and Esc wait for
    Chinese and Japanese input to finish, and ⌘W closes what's in front of you.
  • Sturdier all round: closing a window, quitting and starting always finish; a crash in one
    part of Kaze stays in that part; the agent recovers from its own errors.
