Releases
What shipped, by version.
Tagged release notes for the eri desktop app. For day-by-day changes, the changelog is the better read.
- 0.4“Marlowe”May 14, 2026
Current branch. The diffusion runtime finally clears four seconds end-to-end on the median Apple Silicon machine. Voice activity detection got a full rewrite.
Highlights
- Median voice-to-deploy time on M-series: 3.8s (down from 5.2s in 0.3).
- New lazy VAD with 40ms first-syllable latency and a 60% reduction in false wakeups.
- Multi-cursor edits across files now stream as a single coalesced diff.
- Gaze tracker re-trained on a 4× larger dataset; calibration time halved.
- BYOK support for Google AI Studio and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Fixes
- Resolved a freeze when the wakeword detector lost its lease on the audio device.
- Stopped sending duplicate Sentry events when a panel was opened twice in one session.
- Fixed Cmd-K not focusing the input on first launch after a fresh install.
- 0.3“Linnea”March 6, 2026
First release with the iterator panel and the runtime spine split into eri_* crates. The internal team moved to dogfooding full-time on this build.
Highlights
- New iterator panel for stepping through long-running agent runs.
- Runtime spine refactored into five eri_* crates with clean boundaries.
- Cmd-K can now run any registered action across the editor and the agent.
- Local Llama backend wired up behind a feature flag for early testers.
Fixes
- Reduced startup memory by ~180 MB by deferring TTS warm-up.
- Fixed gaze calibration drift after long sessions with external monitors.
- Made the changelog feed survive a malformed entry instead of crashing the panel.
- 0.2“Kerouac”January 22, 2026
The first build we let strangers run. Onboarding now finishes in under sixty seconds and the editor reaches steady state on first launch.
Highlights
- End-to-end onboarding flow with mic, gaze, and project import wired together.
- The eri Engine now drives all multi-line edits by default.
- Editor surface holds 120 fps through full-file diffusion on the reference machine.
- Auto-update through the in-app channel switcher.
Fixes
- Closed a race where the voice pipeline could deadlock during a fast wake/sleep cycle.
- Stopped the agent from re-reading already-resolved errors in the same iteration.
- 0.1“Jensen”November 10, 2025
Internal-only alpha. First end-to-end voice → diffusion → diff loop running on a single laptop.
Highlights
- First working voice-to-diff pipeline.
- Minimal editor surface forked from VSCodium — keybindings and extensions carry over.
- Hand-rolled wakeword and TTS pipeline running entirely on-device.
