Track every improvement in CodePus

Fixes

• Fixes stale IDE device-login state replacing the latest authorization and clearing a valid login.

Upgrades

• Improves download availability for Windows and Linux installers, portable archives, and automatic-update files.

Features

• Adds per-turn Agent file-change cards, summaries, and review state so created, modified, and deleted content can be inspected by file in the chat sidebar.
• Expands editor and extension transfer, with team workspace switching, team context, and clearer grouping and validation for user-owned model connections.
• Unifies image and video attachment handling across drafts, tool results, and sending to reduce lost or incorrectly rejected attachments.

Fixes

• Fixes empty-workbench layout, command bar, model dropdown, Explorer empty states, and transcript activity compaction becoming misaligned, obscured, or context-losing across window sizes and states.
• Fixes state drift around empty responses, retry approval, unseen completion, and crash recovery to prevent duplicate execution, incorrect retries, and non-actionable failures.
• Fixes personal and team account state, plans, boosters, subscription changes, and notifications being mixed across account boundaries.
• Fixes IDE device login becoming stuck, losing one-shot authorization, or being replaced by stale state across browser returns, process restarts, and token refresh.
• Fixes duplicate charges, misleading quota guidance, or incomplete payment state in some concurrent payment and long-response scenarios.

Features

• Unifies visual-attachment handling across chat, draft recovery, and tool results so valid images remain intact throughout a conversation.
• The model picker now shows currently available models more reliably and provides more actionable guidance when model access fails.
• Synchronizes brand assets across desktop, website, installer, and notification surfaces for a consistent CodePus identity.

Fixes

• Fixes clean source installs failing when optional VS Code self-host development extensions are absent from the repository.
• Fixes valid visual attachments being lost or incorrectly rejected during image editing, normalization, and request preflight.
• Fixes model-status refreshes or duplicate filtering hiding currently available models.
• Fixes some extracted Linux archives failing to start directly.
• Improves diagnostic-log privacy by excluding user content, remote responses, access locations, and local paths.

Upgrades

• Refines the command-approval action hierarchy with the theme primary color for approval, a consistent card-neutral treatment for alternatives, and improved sizing, spacing, and interaction feedback.

Features

• Synchronizes brand assets across desktop, website, installer, and notification surfaces for a consistent CodePus identity.

Fixes

• Fixes imprecise recovery after browser-action failures by offering action-specific recovery paths and avoiding ineffective retries.
• Improves account-menu shortcut layout and contrast, preventing labels and key hints from colliding in narrow sidebars.
• Fixes some currently available models not appearing in the IDE model picker.
• Fixes valid images being lost or rejected before sending and provides more actionable guidance when model access fails.

Features

• The model picker now shows only currently available models intended for coding.
• Improves image text recognition and complex visual-task accuracy while reducing unnecessary duplicate image processing.
• Unifies CodePus brand icons across desktop, website, and installer sizes so stale icons do not reappear.

Fixes

• Fixes the latest user instruction briefly appearing as a duplicate sticky copy while a chat is pinned to the bottom and streaming; sticky guidance now appears only after scrolling back.
• Fixes some newer models being unavailable for image text recognition and image-capable models still triggering duplicate processing.

Fixes

• Fixes transient network or user-owned model failures being mislabeled as CodePus plan or quota exhaustion. Stale state no longer keeps input disabled, duplicate notifications are suppressed, and Continue remains available when request completion is uncertain to avoid duplicate charges.
• Fixes chat reporting a network error too early and omitting Continue when some installation types take longer on first launch; waiting is now more tolerant and later launches are faster.
• Fixes upgrades from legacy versions such as 1.99.18 remaining at 96%; Setup now waits for the app to exit normally and handles only stale processes from the current installation.
• Fixes automatic updates failing to finish their final stage in some Windows environments.
• Fixes name-only process detection potentially affecting another user, system, or portable installation; update recovery now matches the CodePus executable in the current installation path.

Features

• Adds a chat transcript top mask that fully hides scrolling content behind the pinned instruction and dynamically adjusts the fade boundary to the instruction's measured height, preventing text, tool status, and controls from showing through.
• Adds automatic matching for user and system installations so automatic updates download the installer that matches the current installation type.

Fixes

• Fixes an issue where CodePus could close before the updater installer started; the current application now closes only after installer launch is confirmed and remains usable if launch fails.
• Fixes automatic updates appearing stuck at 96% by showing real Windows installer progress and automatically handling leftover processes that block installation.
• Fixes incorrect top-mask height for multiline instructions and window-width changes; the previous pinned instruction now yields at the correct boundary as the next instruction enters the top region.

Features

• After a successful payment return, bounded retries run for up to one minute, while window focus and active sessions refresh profile, plan, quota, order, and team data without a manual page reload.

Fixes

• Fixes inaccurate recovery guidance when a model returns an empty response, preserving enough context to offer a more useful next step.
• Fixes send-now restoring an already submitted message as a draft and stale icons persisting after an upgrade or application move.
• Fixes Windows starting a partial installation after an incomplete update; update failures are now reported clearly instead of silently opening an unusable build.

Upgrades

• Account sessions now periodically synchronize the latest name, email, avatar, role, and plan, while IDE authentication and quota refresh paths reduce stale-state windows.

Features

• Improves text extraction and visual understanding for web/UI reconstruction, video, multi-image comparison, charts, and spatial reasoning.
• Design and Demo workflows now persist source screenshot paths and require same-viewport source/target comparison plus quality, responsive, and delivery gates.

Fixes

• Fixes inconsistent visual-task quality and unnecessary image compression.
• Fixes duplicate headings in website changelog entries and improves the reliability of visual attachments, tool screenshots, and extracted video frames.

Upgrades

• Design-reference results now include more complete text, coordinates, style, structure, and multi-image difference information.

Features

• Personal plan checkout, upgrades, and order resumption now share one Credits-debt preflight with explicit review before automatically continuing the original purchase.
• Agent, Ask, Plan, Debug, and related modes are now persisted per conversation so switching one thread no longer changes another.

Fixes

• Caps the final personal-request Credits overdraft, blocks further paid requests once debt exists, and exposes a consistent settlement path in the IDE and website.
• Improves disconnected-browser recovery and target refresh without replaying clicks, and makes terminal-tool timeout recovery more reliable.

Features

• The startup updater now reports real downloaded bytes and clearly shows verification, installation, and restart stages.

Fixes

• While the IDE is running, each release is prompted only once with Update now and Later choices, and immediate updates keep visible progress.
• Fixed releases being published while the website changelog remained on the initial entry.

Fixes

• Fixed some quota failures losing their specific reason in the desktop app and appearing only as generic errors.
• Distinguished personal exhaustion, team exhaustion, member limits, and billing debt with the correct payment, booster, or administration guidance.
• Fixed supplemental guidance sometimes hiding the original request error.

Fixes

• Removed the second product version so About, extension compatibility, installers, update requests, and telemetry share the root version.
• Fixed image requests failing when the selected model could not process images correctly.

Upgrades

• Windows downloads and automatic updates now verify file integrity and retrieve installers only from trusted locations.

Fixes

• Fixed encoding and display issues in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and several European installer translations.
• Automatic updates now launch the installer in the language selected by the IDE.

Features

• Improved chat history editing, appearance settings, and returning-user onboarding.

Fixes

• Fixed chat tools, terminal tools, agent tasks, and browser automation occasionally getting stuck or ending too early.
• Stabilized the two-stage update flow so invalid update states cannot arm the next-launch updater.

We're excited to announce the first public release of CodePus IDE!
