v0.4.8 does not add a new feature entry. It focuses on keeping official Windows downloads complete and predictable during application updates.

Windows installation and updates​

• Official installers are managed separately from candidate builds, so the public download entry points expose complete release versions only.
• Update metadata is published after the release files are complete, reducing the chance of seeing temporary or incomplete download content during an upgrade.

v0.4.5 focuses on Windows AI Assistant startup reliability. It fixes a case where Hermes incorrectly treated its command pipe as closed after the first session was created, causing the conversation to fail immediately.

AI Assistant​

• Fixes the Hermes gateway exiting as soon as an AI conversation starts in some Windows environments.
• Allows more time for the offline Agent runtime to initialize, avoiding false startup failures on slower devices.
• Adds a real session and complete Agent-turn check before release, reducing the chance of discovering startup failures only after installation.

v0.4.6 continues the Windows AI Assistant reliability work. It focuses on cases where Hermes Agent exits shortly after startup and causes conversations to fail immediately.

AI Assistant​

• Restores the complete offline Agent runtime for Windows installations.
• Completes two consecutive Agent conversations through the same session path used by the application before release.
• Verifies that Hermes Gateway stays alive and ready across both conversations instead of treating startup alone as sufficient.

v0.4.7 restores the validated Hermes Agent runtime baseline for Windows installations where the AI Assistant could exit after startup and stop responding to messages.

AI Assistant​

• Keeps the current AI conversations, business tools, and permission controls.
• Does not change task management, business data, interface design, or local user data.
• Users on v0.4.4 through v0.4.6 can upgrade directly without uninstalling the existing application.

Release date: August 20, 2026

v0.4.4 does not add a new user-facing feature entry. It focuses on making Windows installation, updates, and offline Agent startup more reliable after upgrade.

Windows Installation and Updates​

• Improves Windows installer and update reliability with stronger package-completeness validation.
• Fixes cases where missing dependency files in release packages could go unnoticed before release.

AI Assistant​

• Improves offline Agent runtime startup checks, reducing startup failures caused by missing runtime files.
