Changelog
Even death stars have an exhaust vent.
A larger Freed Desktop update focused on relationship views, optional local intelligence, reliable capture, and calmer reading.
Features
- Friends graph tools now include ranked suggestions, relationship tiers, shared Friends or All content scoping, and search profile actions.
- Optional local AI model packs can be installed from settings to enrich semantic analysis without bundling model weights.
- Reading layouts now keep feeds, stories, sidebars, and cards steadier while media and view transitions load.
Fixes
- Startup recovery now waits for healthy renderer heartbeats, records diagnostics, and keeps background work from running into stalled windows.
- Social capture is more reliable across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and X, with stronger story dedupe, comment hydration, OAuth, and memory-pressure handling.
- Sync and update flows are steadier across Google Drive, Dropbox, mobile pairing, updater channels, outbox persistence, and Automerge state patches.
- Provider health, source action menus, graph selection, and graph label checks have stronger Freed Desktop validation coverage.
- Cloud media vault setup, Google contacts sync, and local archive handling have clearer settings and safer storage paths.
- Read-on-scroll, reader hydration, saved signals, search, map markers, and command state now preserve context more consistently.
Follow-ups
- Release validation now covers the full primary platform matrix and slimmer Freed Desktop E2E gates.
- Website changelog and roadmap presentation will be refreshed from the production tag after the release workflow publishes.
- Reverse integration will merge this production release back into dev after updater verification.
