Immutable release. Only release title and notes can be modified.

Added

  • Recall knows your project (#150). Memories saved for the project you are
    working in rank ahead of cross-project trivia; project= filters to one
    project, and a filter that matched nothing says so instead of returning an
    empty list. Recall trace explains the same order recall returns.
  • Saved views and summaries (#113). Save a recall query as a named view and
    re-run it from the CLI (slm view), MCP or the dashboard, with the same
    answer from each. Daily, session and project summaries trace every line back
    to the memories it came from.
  • slm provider set custom (#112): point Mode B or Mode C at your own
    OpenAI-compatible server (llama.cpp, vLLM, LM Studio) from the CLI, with or
    without a key. Its connection test goes through the same no-redirect gate as
    every other request.
  • Measure answer quality on your own memories. Label your own questions and
    see whether the right memory comes first, and set each answer check's
    threshold from your own results instead of a default.

Changed

  • The same question returns the same memories every time. Linking
    memories through the people, projects and things they share used to stop at
    a time limit, so a busy machine could return different memories for the same
    question. It now does a fixed amount of work in a fixed order, and a
    background fill of the entity index after the upgrade keeps it fast. Until
    that fill finishes, a few minutes after the first start, recall uses the
    exact scan, which can be slower on a busy machine.
  • Better first answers. Memories a search actually found can no longer be
    pushed out of the reranker's shortlist by loosely related neighbours, and
    when the reranker clearly puts one memory first, recency and quality
    adjustments can only break near-ties, not overturn it. On a large real
    store: right memory first on 27 of 50 questions (was 23), and the right
    memory in the top 3 on 17 of 97 held-out questions (was 11).
  • A question that resembles none of your memories no longer gets graph matches
    started from unrelated memories, so the result is the same with and without
    the vector extension.
  • The semantic cache makes the same choice on every platform and every
    run.
    After a run of correct hits it serves a stored answer at similarity
    0.98 and above every time, where before it skipped it at random (up to 43% of
    the time at 0.98).
  • Modes are named by what you get, not by a vendor (#112), in setup, the
    CLI and the dashboard.
  • Remote access works on the key's profile for every tool, whatever profile
    this computer is using.
  • In Settings, ticking a Jev option while Laya is chosen asks whether to
    switch; "Try it" shows where the time went; a memory kind below the shared
    confidence threshold shows as unconfirmed.
  • The dashboard's live events show saved, captured, corrected and deleted
    memories from every surface, and its filter offers only events SLM sends.
  • Every dashboard text meets readable contrast in light and dark themes.
  • The README leads with the answer check (Laya on your Mac, Jev on Windows,
    Linux and macOS), lists platform support plainly, and brings back the
    architecture diagram and the walkthrough video.

Fixed

  • Background maintenance no longer moves memories you still use into the
    archive
    , where recall could not find them. On a large store most memories
    had drifted there, and questions about them came back with the wrong answer
    or none.
  • A question about a version number ("what changed in 4.1.20") finds the memory
    about that version.
  • A new or changed link is used by the next recall instead of a cached answer.
  • Erasure: unfinished deletions are re-checked and closed in every profile,
    back off instead of retrying forever, heal entity erasures, and an unreadable
    vector store never counts as erased (PR #149, thanks @bgausden). slm ops
    and the Ops Health page say what each entry is and what to do.
  • slm ops resolve rejects a bad operation ID cleanly instead of crashing
    (#148); a broken daemon response is no longer reported as a bad ID.
  • Re-verified the Mode B / Ollama, daemon-start and migration fixes reported in
    #128 and #125.
  • On a computer shared by several accounts, SLM never sends data to, starts
    against, or adopts another account's daemon.
  • Restore points, backups, remote secrets, the answer-check key and config are
    readable only by you, including files older versions left open.
  • Remote access closes a connection that stalls before TLS within 10 seconds.
  • Shutting down while another program holds the memory database no longer
    fails; a save waiting for it is kept for the next start.
  • Windows: output to a pipe or file is UTF-8 and never crashes on a
    character; the dashboard and SLM's files read and write UTF-8; process checks
    never send Ctrl+C; profiles, restores, embedding migrations, backups and the
    benchmark close their database files so they can finish; the code graph
    records forward-slash paths; bounded-loops receipts import; the Answer Check
    demo says plainly that it needs an Apple silicon Mac.
  • macOS: no native matrix factorization on the recall and cache paths can
    corrupt process memory.
  • Windows: slm serve stop and the idle timeout shut the daemon down
    cleanly instead of killing it, so it leaves no stale state behind; a model
    download started by the daemon's self-repair stops when the daemon stops.
  • The Summaries picker lists projects saved on your memories, not only the
    folders an agent worked in.
  • Each dashboard page opens at its first line instead of under the top bar.

Security

  • Installs and upgrades get fsspec 2026.6.0 or later, which closes a remote
    code execution advisory (GHSA-27vj-qcqg-25rc) in a package SLM uses
    indirectly.
  • config.json and the answer-check and feedback keys that an older release
    left readable by other accounts are made private when SLM starts.

Thanks to @bgausden for the erasure fix in PR #149 and for #148 and #150, to
@tianjueak for #128, and to @unfall103-debug for #112, #113 and #125.
