Rudr 0.44.0

Rudr 0.44.0

Added

• Open Terminal, Git, Files and other workspace panels beside Open in; tools share a panel to the right of the conversation.
• Include the latest desktop remote-control features, including starting new tasks from paired devices and delivering commands while snapshots are loading.

Fixed

• Keep reopened voice sessions quiet until fresh input, apart from their welcome greeting.
• Open the skill and command menu when a slash starts a word anywhere in a prompt, while preserving surrounding text and file paths.
• Inherit an existing project's trust when creating its worktrees, and start new sessions from the actual project folder.
• Keep worktree badge names visible in narrower sidebars.
• Preserve sessions when their original harness is unavailable and offer a supported harness to continue them.

Changed

• Remember the harness used to create the most recent session instead of requiring a separate default.
• Add a manually launched local voice audio lab and offline playback-recovery regressions for future acoustic tuning.

Known limitations

• Speaker echo can still be mistaken for microphone input on some audio setups. The audio lab does not automatically tune production voice settings.

Distribution

• Apple Silicon Macs only; Intel Macs remain on 0.36.6.
• Signed and notarized DMG downloads and signed in-app update archives.

Rudr 0.43.0

Rudr 0.43.0

Added

• Queue voice requests alongside desktop and paired-device messages, with reliable acceptance, cancellation, and recovery after reopening a session.
• Choose whether a voice follow-up waits for the current task, steers supported harnesses, or interrupts and sends immediately, using the same delivery controls as typed messages.
• Inspect voice context usage and compact the conversation while retaining the session's saved answers and task details.

Fixed

• Give voice access to complete saved harness answers, including details beyond the visible preview and after reconnecting or compacting.
• Recognize more natural spoken approvals and avoid replaying stale progress updates after the harness finishes.
• Show the request sent by Voice AI directly in the chat and keep working status, turn counts, and timestamps easier to scan.
• Improve remote-control reconnection, queue outcomes, access handling, and synchronized session state from the latest main checkpoint.

Changed

• Use a more transparent glass finish for the glowing Jump to latest button.

Known limitations

• Speaker echo can still be mistaken for microphone input on some audio setups. Acoustic testing and tuning are planned for a future release.

Distribution

• macOS: Apple Silicon; Intel Macs remain on 0.36.6.
• macOS: signed and notarized DMG downloads and signed in-app update archives.

Windows x64 — unsigned build (October 15, 2026)

• Windows installers are currently unsigned. A signed Windows release is coming soon.
• Download Rudr-0.43.0-x64-setup.exe. Close Rudr normally before installing over your existing per-user copy.
• Includes Windows native-helper, file-access, terminal, and global coding-tool integration repairs, including Claude Code native updates and the sign-in handoff.
• Windows Remote control and Windows ARM64 remain unavailable in this release.
• Known limitation: forcibly stopping a brand-new profile before its first normal close can lose credential-encryption metadata. Complete setup and close Rudr normally once before relying on crash recovery.
• Windows verification covers local builds and focused tests on the existing Windows PC; clean-machine and complete live-provider qualification remain open.
• Windows file hashes are provided separately in Windows-SHA256SUMS.txt. Existing macOS downloads, signatures and update feeds are unchanged.

Rudr 0.42.0

Rudr 0.42.0

Added

• Open session voice in its own movable Voice tab, with a separate transcript, compact text composer and glass orb beside the coding feed.
• Switch between the Voice tab and mixed feed while keeping the same call, conversation and unsent text while the workspace is open. Saved tabs stay disconnected until Start voice is pressed.
• Confirm prepared GPT Live and Gemini tasks by speaking when local speech verification is available, with the exact task and session retained for approval.
• Pair a phone from the desktop to follow coding sessions and send requests through the shared prompt queue, with desktop-controlled access and approval.

Changed

• Center the Voice orb above its growing pill composer, place model selection in the header, and use compact Mixed/Split feed icons. Click the orb to end the call; microphone and speaker mute remain independent.
• Give the shared Jump to latest button a rotating Rudr-color border glow, with a static edge under reduced motion.
• Keep voice text temporary instead of maintaining a second set of saved drafts alongside harness drafts.
• Keep coding actions, voice discussion and results in chronological order, with compact source labels, retained command details and a centered start date for the first turn.
• Put voice controls, spoken-update detail, personal instructions and microphone processing in a dedicated Voice settings tab.
• Review a concise voice task summary before approving the full request; use the shared composer control to choose the harness or voice conversation.
• Apply the selected reply typeset consistently across desktop replies and workspace panels.
• Keep configured harnesses visible in Usage, distinguish stale or unavailable readings, and notify once when a usage limit reaches 90 percent.

Fixed

• Let GPT Live own normal turn-taking so microphone noise and late captions cannot silently suppress later replies. Recover explicit Stop playback and show Resume audio if output never yields.
• Request the activation welcome even when startup microphone noise is present, including Minimal mode.
• Preserve provider interruption and playback boundaries for OpenAI Realtime, Grok and Gemini, and report a local spoken-approval timeout without approving unverified speech.
• Keep long GPT Live calls paced through delayed timers without accumulating unused output audio, and report a disconnect once with its original cause.
• Resume spoken answers after a typed follow-up to Stop speaking, and keep the harness working footer visible when voice sends the task.
• Preserve the current harness, selected effort, session context and readable worktree names when starting a session through voice.
• Keep Codex agent messages separate, report Grok Build costs using the correct units, and recover remote connections after a stalled token read.

Distribution

• Apple Silicon Macs only; Intel Macs remain on 0.36.6.
• Signed and notarized DMG downloads and signed in-app update archives.

Rudr 0.41.3

Rudr 0.41.3

Fixed

• Release macOS terminal devices after successful or failed launches so repeated terminal use does not exhaust the system limit.
• Download eligible in-app updates directly from the top-left banner without opening Settings.
• Show download percentage inside the existing icon circle and keep the banner steady throughout downloading, verification and installation.
• Offer Install when the update is verified, preserving the existing save-work and restart confirmations.

Rudr 0.41.2

Rudr 0.41.2

Fixed

• Respect the selected Allow or Deny button when pressing Enter, and prevent hidden approval panels from answering keyboard shortcuts.
• Show the destination, filenames and sizes in browser upload approvals, and upload the exact file contents reviewed for approval.
• Display a readable equation error with optional View source when rendering fails, without interpreting failed equation content as HTML.
• Constrain file operations and browser downloads to their authorized locations.
• Preserve MCP credential and automation instruction authority, and check repository permissions before GitHub issues can trigger work.
• Recover the built-in browser safely after native view failures, and improve macOS developer-tool shim handling.
• Start Grok sessions normally when optional custom-command or skill folders have not been created.
• Update bundled MCP, HTML sanitization, networking and source-map dependencies with available security patches.

Rudr 0.41.1

Rudr 0.41.1

Fixed

• Enable one-click Update for the official standalone Codex installation, including installations created by Rudr's Install button, using the existing global command and its native updater.
• Support Muse's native engine update mechanism and detect an update skipped because another updater holds its lock.
• Preserve each installed harness's native updater or existing npm/Homebrew installation, without creating a private copy or changing the selected installation.
• Explain that a command path and its resolved binary belong to the same installation, and show clearer update failure and retry guidance.

Known limitations

• Some initial browser-panel attachment failures remain under investigation. The existing navigation retry addresses the confirmed cached-failure path.

• Review and revoke remembered Computer Use approvals in a compact table.
• Update supported installed coding harnesses from Settings, with progress, cancellation and version verification.

Changed

• Use the user's installed Codex CLI or explicit executable override. Rudr no longer downloads or silently switches to a private Codex runtime.
• Refine Computer Use approvals with a subtle animated brand gradient, frosted actions, app-name emphasis, a red Deny action and a silver Ask why action.
• Simplify onboarding's local option and include Terms of Service and Privacy links beside sign-in choices.

Fixed

• Keep queued messages queued when switching between chats.
• Rewind complete turns with their steering messages, without restoring guidance the user removed; preserve history and permit retry after a storage failure.
• Preserve native harness error details and show useful recovery guidance.
• Repair Continue locally during onboarding and prevent repeated authentication checks from stalling session readiness.
• Retain discovered Claude models and explain session-start requirements, with clearer branch and worktree handling.
• Permit a safe navigation retry after a browser panel becomes ready when the original request failed before dispatch.
• Improve update preparation and owned-process shutdown recovery, and make local prompt cleanup more reliable.

Known limitations

• Some initial browser-panel attachment failures remain under investigation. The navigation retry fix addresses the confirmed cached-failure path.

Windows downloads (unsigned)

Windows x64 and ARM64 installers are unsigned. A signed Windows release is coming soon. Windows may show an unknown-publisher or SmartScreen warning.

• Windows x64 installer
• Windows ARM64 installer
• Windows SHA-256 checksums

These Windows builds include the latest main changes and local Codex recovery, harness update-consent and Windows packaging fixes.

Build, focused regression tests and final installer payload inspection passed locally. The broader local validation still has lint and test failures on this Windows host. Native ARM64 execution and installer install/upgrade testing have not been performed.

These are manual installer downloads; they do not introduce a Windows automatic-update feed.

Rudr 0.39.1

Rudr 0.39.1

Fixed

• Keep composer drafts isolated to their own sessions and retain cached models when switching sessions.
• Finish parent turns after background subagents complete, present subagents in compact activity rows, and keep long progress text inside the live footer.
• Report individual command failures without incorrectly labeling the whole turn as failed.
• Use each coding harness's own session title, keep model pickers mutually exclusive, and contain long folder and branch names.
• Recover browser sessions after an interrupted app exit without automatically reopening the page that caused trouble, and keep session previews and controls above embedded browser content.
• Prevent abandoned folder pickers from blocking update preparation.
• Suppress desktop notifications while Rudr is active, including when using the embedded browser. Consolidate repeated toasts, limit visible toasts to three, and retain important details and recovery actions in Notifications.
• Silence routine session-start and successful model-refresh notices.
• Update Electron to 42.10.0 to address published browser sandbox and preload security vulnerabilities.
