更新日志

• Added native Retina DMG artwork with a 760×500 72-DPI representation and a 1520×1000 144-DPI representation for a sharp, correctly sized installer on standard and high-density displays.
• Strengthened macOS artifact verification to mount the finished DMG and validate its checksum, background format, dimensions, density, Applications shortcut, visible item count, Finder metadata, application identifier, and ad-hoc signature before CI uploads it.

• Fixed Finder enlarging and cropping the branded installer background because the generated PNG was encoded at 25 DPI instead of the expected 72 DPI.
• Marked the background, volume icon, and disk-image metadata as Finder-invisible so the installation window exposes only Libre WebUI and the Applications shortcut.
• Regenerated the DMG blockmap and release checksum metadata after Finder finalization so differential updates and latest-mac.yml continue to describe the published artifact exactly.

• Added a desktop conversation history rail that maps each user turn beside the chat, lets readers jump directly to any turn, and previews the matching prompt and active assistant response on hover or keyboard focus.
• Added keyboard navigation for the history rail with arrow, Home, End, Enter, and Escape behavior, localized accessible labels across all supported languages, reduced-motion support, and mirrored placement for right-to-left layouts.
• Redesigned the macOS arm64 DMG as a 760×500 branded installation canvas with original artwork, the “Make whatever comes next.” identity, a clear Applications drag target, and the same editorial visual language as the website and documentation.

• Made the history rail follow the reader dynamically while scrolling in either direction, keep the active marker visible inside long rails, resolve regenerated branches to the active response, and preserve the selected position while a newer response streams.
• Kept the rail available in compact desktop windows while intentionally removing it from mobile chat layouts where it would compete with the conversation.
• Standardized constrained scrolling across application pages, sidebar history, Settings, model selectors, plugin and Hugging Face browsers, image generation, persona switching, keyboard shortcuts, and user menus.
• Switched the application shell to dynamic viewport sizing, tightened nested flex layouts, added stable scroll regions, and increased Electron scrollbar width for easier pointer interaction.
• Expanded end-to-end coverage for rail navigation, manual scroll synchronization, branching, live streaming, Arabic RTL placement, compact desktop behavior, mobile visibility, and Electron-sized wheel scrolling at the minimum 800×600 window size.

• Removed the Electron preload rule that made the entire document draggable and could intercept page or menu scroll gestures; window dragging is now limited to the explicit title-bar surfaces.
• Fixed clipped or difficult-to-scroll Electron pages and dialogs by giving their actual content regions bounded height and native overflow behavior.
• Made unsigned macOS distribution builds structurally valid by applying an explicit ad-hoc signature with hardened runtime entitlements instead of producing an unverified application bundle.
• Added macOS artifact verification that checks the DMG checksum, mounted application bundle, identifier, and ad-hoc code signature before CI uploads the package.

• Updated the Electron desktop guide with the ad-hoc signing model, packaged-app verification command, safe Gatekeeper approval steps, quarantine removal for verified downloads, and the future Developer ID/notarization path.

• Unified streaming and completed code behind the same accessible code-block component, with localized copy feedback, stable styling, and consistent dimensions as responses finish.
• Expanded syntax highlighting for C#, Go, Kotlin, PHP, Ruby, Rust, SQL, Swift, and YAML, including common language aliases.
• Made long streaming code blocks follow the newest output until the reader intentionally scrolls away.
• Added end-to-end coverage for live code rendering, CommonMark fence parsing, bare HTML documents, reader-controlled scrolling, code-safe LaTeX preprocessing, and title-generation request behavior.

• Fixed reasoning-capable Ollama models consuming the entire automatic-title token budget before producing visible text by disabling reasoning for title utility requests.
• Restored specialized code blocks as soon as generated code begins streaming instead of temporarily displaying code as plain text or exposing Markdown fence markers.
• Improved streaming parsing for incomplete and multiple CommonMark code fences, backtick and tilde fences, indented fences, variable-length fences, CRLF input, and unfenced HTML documents.
• Prevented LaTeX preprocessing from modifying fenced or inline generated code and removed the visual layout jump when a streaming code block completes.

• Added an IP-based limit of 200 requests per 15 minutes to /api/plugins, applied before optional authentication to protect authentication, filesystem, credential-store, and plugin-enumeration work.
• Upgraded electron-builder to 26.15.6 and modernized its Electron packaging dependencies, removing the deprecated inflight, glob 7, and boolean packages that produced installation warnings.
• Added a package-lock regression test that fails when any dependency is marked deprecated.
• Raised the supported Node.js minimum to 22.12 to match the modern Electron packaging toolchain.

• Updated the README, Quick Start, troubleshooting guide, and Electron desktop build guide to document the Node.js 22.12 minimum.

• Strengthened the opt-in accent-adapted light palette so the selected color is clearer across the canvas, settings, composer, chat surfaces, and supporting interface states without becoming overpowering.
• Preserved the existing adaptive dark palette and readable text contrast for preset and custom accent colors.
• Expanded end-to-end regression coverage for generated-title updates, fallback behavior, adaptive theme visibility, persistence, and contrast.

• Fixed automatically generated chat titles remaining stuck on the original user-message preview by applying the already-persisted title response directly to the sidebar's local session state.
• Removed the redundant second title-update request, kept generation status active until the sidebar updates, and made notifications accurately distinguish generated summaries from fallback previews.
• Improved generated-title cleanup by stripping common wrappers and Title: prefixes, truncating long valid summaries at a readable word boundary, and reliably identifying empty provider responses as fallbacks.
• Replaced fixed white surfaces in key light-theme chat and settings views with adaptive semantic surface colors so the chosen accent is reflected throughout the interface.

• Reworked the README around Libre WebUI's local-first model, provider flexibility, Apache 2.0 licensing, inspectable project commitments, inclusive participation, deployment choices, and clearly stated privacy and security boundaries.
• Updated the design guide to document the clearer light-mode accent treatment and unchanged dark-mode behavior.
• Added project-scoped release instructions covering dual-remote verification, main-before-tag CI gates, release artifact checks, and the final main-to-dev synchronization.

• Added an opt-in Adapt to accent appearance style that tints the canvas, surfaces, borders, text hierarchy, and neutral scales from a preset or custom accent in both light and dark mode, while preserving the existing neutral palettes as the default style.
• Added localized controls for choosing the default or accent-adapted appearance across all 25 supported locales.

• Improved Arabic and other right-to-left layouts across the desktop and mobile shell, sidebar, chat, settings, model selector, artifact panel, dialogs, and notifications by using direction-aware logical positioning.
• Applied the saved language and text direction before the first React render, localized relative timestamps, isolated Latin usernames inside Arabic greetings, allowed message text to choose its natural direction, and kept code and model identifiers left-to-right.
• Added end-to-end and packaged-runtime regression coverage for theme persistence, adaptive palettes and contrast, RTL desktop/mobile behavior, shared TTS model aliases, per-user valves, and packed npx launches.

• Fixed light/dark mode and accent preferences reverting after a refresh by persisting theme changes locally and to the backend, retrying failed saves, reconciling stale responses, and preserving hydrated preferences for the same signed-in user.
• Fixed TTS provider selection when multiple plugins expose the same model alias by preserving the plugin ID through settings, test playback, read-aloud, sentence streaming, and autoplay, while using the selected provider's default voice and audio format.
• Fixed authenticated plugin credentials and valve values so they are stored and resolved per user, allowing TTS requests to reach the configured endpoint such as Kyutai's /v1/audio/speech address.
• Fixed bundled plugin discovery in packed npx libre-webui installs launched from an arbitrary working directory, while continuing to support writable custom plugin directories.
• Removed duplicate TTS model entries and made no-authentication TTS providers available to the model and plugin selectors.

• Updated DESIGN.md to document the default neutral appearance and the opt-in accent-adapted light and dark palettes.

• Updated the project screenshot to reflect the current UI.

• Fixed npx libre-webui on Windows by replacing the POSIX-only postinstall command with a cross-platform Node.js script.
• Ensured the npm package retains both the libre-webui CLI entry point and its required postinstall script.
• Copied the postinstall script into every Docker dependency stage so Buildx can complete npm ci --omit=dev on amd64 and arm64.
• Made release npm commands run correctly on Windows and preserved complete paths when parsing Git porcelain status output.
• Added regression tests for npm package contents, release status parsing, and Docker dependency-stage layout.

• Added 11 creator-oriented welcome prompts that rotate as users start new chats, alongside the existing personalized time-of-day greeting.
• Persisted welcome-prompt rotation for the current session, with an in-memory fallback when browser storage is unavailable.

• Reworked the application around a cohesive warm-neutral visual system with editorial typography, quieter surfaces, hairline separators, neutral primary actions, and restrained motion in both light and dark modes.
• Refreshed the chat experience, including the welcome canvas, composer, messages, branch controls, model selection, sidebar, and image-generation workflow.
• Standardized Gallery, Models, Personas, User Management, and Libre Claw with shared PageShell and PageHeader layouts, while aligning settings, authentication, onboarding, and management surfaces with the same component language.
• Expanded the new-chat prompt library across all 25 supported locales and added end-to-end coverage for prompt rotation.
• Removed third-party font downloads in favor of privacy-friendly system font stacks, and improved reduced-motion and mobile input behavior.

• Updated DESIGN.md with the warm-neutral palette, semantic surface and ink roles, editorial typography, responsive layout guidance, and motion principles used by the new interface.

• Refreshed verified provider plugin catalogs and provider models from verified sources across multiple providers, including Anthropic, Gemini, GitHub, Groq, Hugging Face, Mistral, OpenAI, and OpenRouter.

• Refreshed 14 dependencies, including @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin, @typescript-eslint/parser, electron, png-to-ico, prettier, sharp, framer-motion, i18next, lucide-react, react-router-dom, @types/node, @types/multer, tsx, and vite.

• Added a first-class Libre Claw agent surface in the app, available from the sidebar as Libre Claw, with daemon connection status, dashboard access, and a dedicated /agents route.
• Added admin-only backend proxy routes under /api/libre-claw for daemon status, health, dashboard URL, model routing, fallback routing, theme updates, runs, run events, permissions, usage, and automations.
• Added Libre Claw run management from WebUI: start chat or goal-mode runs, pass optional provider/model overrides, inspect durable run history, stream incremental run events, and cancel active runs.
• Added WebUI approval handling for Libre Claw tool calls, including allow_once, deny, and always_allow_tool permission resolutions.

• Added backend environment configuration for Libre Claw daemon connectivity via LIBRE_CLAW_BASE_URL and LIBRE_CLAW_TIMEOUT_MS.

• Reworked the run timeline UI so assistant deltas are grouped into readable responses while tool calls, tool results, permission requests, usage events, errors, and run lifecycle events remain inspectable.
• Added demo-safe frontend API responses for the Libre Claw page so demo mode can render the agent surface without requiring a running daemon.

• Added docs/31-LIBRE_CLAW_INTEGRATION.md with setup, architecture, route mapping, run modes, approval behavior, automations, memory/tool notes, and troubleshooting guidance.
• Replaced the old OpenClaw integration documentation with the Libre Claw integration guide.

• The old OpenClaw integration path has been removed and replaced by Libre Claw. Users who relied on the previous OpenClaw plugin/config should run the Libre Claw daemon and configure Libre WebUI with LIBRE_CLAW_BASE_URL when the daemon is not on http://127.0.0.1:8766.

• Added optional Cloudflare Turnstile protection for public account creation, configured from backend environment variables and rendered only when enabled.
• Added Tailscale-friendly development hosting/origin support so Libre WebUI can be reached from another device during local development.
• Added Playwright e2e coverage for demo login, one-user mode, artifact detection/rendering, artifact resize behavior, cloud-model regression coverage, mobile sidebar behavior, and async locale loading.

• Made code-block streaming smoother with requestAnimationFrame-coalesced updates, a lightweight streaming code renderer, lazy rich markdown rendering, and split markdown/math/highlighting chunks.
• Reworked title generation so it honors the existing toggle, resolves the current running model correctly, supports plugin-backed title generation, falls back to Ollama, and sanitizes generated titles.
• Split major backend chat orchestration into focused services for WebSocket handling, shared chat context, assistant completion persistence, plugin streaming, Ollama streaming, title generation, and request preparation.
• Split plugin capabilities into smaller adapters/services for chat, streaming, embeddings, image generation, TTS, validation, uploads, variables, and provider response conversion.

• Updated DESIGN.md with the current blue-accent direction and UI guidance without repeating the 0.10.0 custom-accent release notes.

• No known user-facing breaking changes. The plugin and chat internals were heavily refactored, but existing plugin configuration and normal app workflows remain compatible.

• Added a bundled llama.cpp completion provider profile for qwen3-35b-a3b, including configurable endpoint, sampling, token, penalty, and streaming defaults
• Added an Ollama Cloud category in the Models library and model selector, backed by Ollama's dedicated cloud listing
