## Recent releases

| Version | Date | Urgency | Changes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `v11.1.6` | 2026-06-04 | High | A focused fix release.  - Onboarding Loop fixed. - WhatsApp QR code, connection fix. - Friend Mode email fix. - The on-device whisper/kokoro voice engine was removed; AIPointer voice now uses your normal Skales voice setup. - Chat tooltips no longer hide behind the message box. |
| `v10.4.0` | 2026-05-28 | High | **AIPointer ⦿ is now part of Skales.**  AIPointer is a cursor-anchored quick-ask AI overlay from [Mario Simic](https://github.com/talentsache) - [GONE/MEDIA](https://github.com/gonemedia). Hold a key, ask about whatever your cursor is on, get an answer in about two seconds. The standalone tool lives at [aipointer.app](https://aipointer.app) and [github.com/gonemedia/aipointer](https://github.com/gonemedia/aipointer). The version baked into Skales is the upgrade: it already knows who you are an |
| `v10.3.5` | 2026-05-21 | High | ### Lazyload   The big one: chat work no longer dies with the page. Start a task, navigate away, close and reopen the window, hard-reload mid-run, it keeps going and the result is waiting when you come back. It only pauses when it genuinely needs your approval, and pings you when it finishes while you are elsewhere. Plus a lighter prompt on smaller models and a one-click memory mode.  On top of that, a polish pass on images and imported chats:  **Images stay visible.** Send an image and it |
| `v10.3.2` | 2026-05-18 | High | A maintenance release in the same spirit as v10.3.1. Eleven tracked bugs squashed plus Friend Mode rewritten, MCP polish, importer parity across all seven migration sources, and the retry layer users have been asking for.  ## Highlights  **Same-provider retry on transient errors.** Network resets, timeouts, HTTP 502/503/504, and empty responses no longer go straight to "No response received." Retries up to 3 times with 1s → 2s → 4s backoff before bubbling up. Configurable per provider in Set |
| `v10.2.9` | 2026-05-13 | High | Hotfix release for Organization task lifecycle. Shipped within 12 hours of v10.2.8 to address an issue that surfaced in production immediately after the previous releases.  ## Bug Fixes  **Instant abort for Organization tasks.** The Abort button now cancels in-flight LLM API calls within milliseconds via AbortController instead of waiting up to 300 seconds for the current provider call to time out. No more wasted tokens on aborted runs.  **Project deletion stops running tasks.** Deleting a |
| `v10.2.5` | 2026-05-07 | High | v10.2.5 is a multi-day stability and polish sprint - 11+ critical bug fixes, 6 new chat features, zero new product surfaces.   ---  ## Critical Bug Fixes  ### Skills system silently ignored every toggle The orchestrator had a dead `settings.skills` field that was never populated. Every skill toggle in the UI flipped a value the runtime never actually read. Computer Use Tools, Calendar Reminders, Email Drafting, and the rest were effectively frozen at their default state regardless of UI. |
| `v10.2.0` | 2026-05-04 | High | ### Highlights  - **Per-model limits registry.** Context and output token caps now read from a per-(provider, model) registry. Replaces the previous 32K context fallback and 2048-4096 output ceilings. - **Smart context compaction.** Older messages are LLM-summarized when context fills up, instead of truncated to 280 chars per message. - **Multiple custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints.** Add as many self-hosted / vLLM / LocalAI endpoints as needed. Legacy single Custom slot keeps working. - ** |
| `v10.1.0` | 2026-04-28 | High | ## TL;DR  Studio gets a Design Tab. Codework matures into a full autonomous coding agent. HF Spaces and MCP work everywhere.  ## Highlights  🎨 **Studio Design Tab** - Generate production-ready HTML/CSS designs from prompts. 7 templates, live preview, fullscreen mode, refine drawer, recent designs persist between sessions.  🔧 **Codework matured** - Approval gates, forbidden command denylist, test loops with progress guardrails, preview mode for writes, repository-map indexing, MCP and H |
| `v10.0.4` | 2026-04-20 | High | ## Fixed - **Telegram Safe Mode approvals** work again. Your "yes" reply now correctly approves the pending tool (#77) - **Telegram bot** spawns automatically on app launch instead of waiting until you open the chat page (#78) - **Export via Tailscale / remote browser** no longer returns a corrupted HTML file. Native Electron export unchanged - **build-info.json** finally reports the correct version on every release (#79)  ## Added - **Minimax, Cloudflare Workers AI, Nvidia NIM** as first |
| `v10.0.3` | 2026-04-19 | High | [Full v10.0.0 Release Notes](https://github.com/skalesapp/skales/releases/tag/v10.0.0)  Pure stability patch. Six fixes across Swarm discovery, Multi-Agent completion, Update UI, Ollama safety warnings, fal.ai Studio, and Codework UX.  Auto-Updater is rolling out to existing v10.0.1 + v10.0.2 installs over the next few hours. Manual download below.  ## Bug Fixes  **Bonjour / mDNS Collision** Instance name now includes process PID (`Skales-<hostname>-<pid>`). Multiple Skales instances on |
