AVE 1.0.22 Release Notes

Status: Released.

Highlights

Added Buy AVE Pro and Have a license? Activate actions to the app footer for Free users.
Opened Account settings directly from activation shortcuts, scrolled to the license field, and focused it for immediate entry.
Added a subtle, dismissible Home reminder when a Free limit is reached, with the reminder returning after the next app launch.
Made the AVE Pro card easier to notice without overpowering Settings.
Replaced payment-provider terminology with clear AVE purchase and license language throughout the app.

Base range: fa49e88..e4ee64f.
Updated Electron Builder from 26.8.1 to 26.15.3 to incorporate current packaging security fixes.
No Local AI runtime, starter model, updater, bridge protocol, project format, or media-storage changes.
This remains a complete AVE package distributed through the existing signed Sparkle feed.

Release verification includes:

Confirming the Free-only footer purchase and activation actions stay hidden for AVE Pro users.
Confirming every activation shortcut opens Account settings with the AVE Pro license field visible and focused.
Reaching each Free limit, dismissing the Home reminder for the current session, and confirming it returns after app relaunch.
Full renderer and render-worker builds, typecheck, AI prompt checks, regression suite, dependency audits, package audit, signing, notarization, stapling, DMG integrity, and Sparkle signature verification.
Installing the exact DMG before publication and testing the update from the previously published full AVE build immediately after publication.

AI-authored edits remain reviewable plans and can vary with the selected assistant.
The complete download remains large because it includes AVE's Local AI runtime and starter models.
npm reports a moderate Windows-only path-traversal advisory in an HTTP static-file adapter included by the MCP SDK. AVE is macOS-only and does not use that static-file server path.
