0.6.1 October 31, 2026

Unsigned early access. Automatic updates and live sales remain disabled.

0.6.0 October 31, 2026

A 169 MB app-only installer. Download the NVIDIA engine and SDXL model separately inside the app when you are ready. Setup shows sizes, supports pause/resume and verifies files. Engines are retained across ordinary app updates.

Verified: 27 automated tests, app-only installation, clean startup without an engine, separate engine installation and actual GPU generation, export and cancellation. Still unsigned early access. Automatic updates and live sales remain disabled.

0.5.1 October 30, 2026

Release hardening: compact desktop code, a bytecode-only first-party worker, archive/worker integrity checks, production debugging restrictions and fail-closed packaging guards.

These deter casual copying and tampering. Offline desktop code can still be reverse engineered. Previously downloaded versions cannot be recalled. Code signing remains pending; this is still an unsigned testing release with a single-download online installer that fetches and verifies engine data automatically.

0.5.0 October 30, 2026

A more personal, reliable studio.

Midnight and Paper appearances, Ctrl+K quick actions, canvas focus mode and local prompt recovery. Generation preparation now rejects overlapping jobs and honors cancellation before starting the engine.

What was checked

20 automated test groups; actual local GPU generation, JPEG export, cancellation and painted-area editing; preparation concurrency checks; theme, keyboard, focus, recovery and compact-window checks; all five collections and 13 installed style recipes.

Current limits

Tested on Windows 11 with RTX 4080 / 16 GB. Physical 8/12 GB GPUs, fresh Windows machines and independent security review remain pending. The NVIDIA inference stack remains pinned for compatibility. One moderate advisory remains in a transitive build-only minimatch dependency; it is absent from the packaged production dependencies. This is not a claim of an independent security audit.

Development milestones

0.4.0 Five collections, 13 style recipes, per-style previews and three $5 test checkout pages.

0.3.2 Embedded pack previews, legacy artwork matching and private previews after first generation.

0.3.0 Storefront and signed-manifest updater foundation.

0.2.0 Redesigned desktop studio, projects, gallery, guided editing and bundled-runtime installer.

0.1.0 Local SDXL generation, verified model setup and three starter styles.

These are internal development milestones. Version 0.5.1 is the first installer published in this public repository. See the complete changelog for details.
