AVE 1.0.13

AVE 1.0.13 Release Notes

Status: Released.

Base: changes after 1f62582 (Mark AVE 1.0.12 released) through c895a7d (Add in-app release notes panel).

Highlights

• Added a dedicated Graphics design panel so graphic editing no longer has to live inside the inspector tab stack.
• Added a browsable graphics/layers tree with component selection, layer selection, rename support, duplicate/delete actions, and cleaner panel typography.
• Improved parent graphic dragging so selected components follow the cursor during movement instead of only updating after mouse release.
• Expanded Hug Contents so components can recalculate height as well as width when text or child layers change.
• Added a What's New button in the app status bar that opens fixed-size, internally scrolling user-facing release notes.
• Updated the release runbook so every public release refreshes the in-app What's New notes before packaging.

Verification Plan

• npm run build
• npm --prefix render-worker run build
• node --check electron/main.cjs
• node --check electron/preload.cjs
• node --check scripts/assert-notarization-env.cjs
• node --check scripts/audit-desktop-package.cjs
• npm run ai:prompt-smoke
• npm run ai:prompt-regression
• npm run test:run
• npm audit --json
• npm --prefix render-worker audit --json
• git --no-pager diff --check
• env APPLE_KEYCHAIN_PROFILE=notarytool npm run desktop:dist
• npm run desktop:audit-package

Known Caveats

• The new Graphics panel is human-facing first. AI can still add and update basic graphics, but full AI control of the design layer is planned for a later release.
• If a user installed a very old AVE build that does not contain Contents/Resources/app-update.yml, that build may not self-update. Installing this DMG manually restores the updater path for future releases.
