How we built v4.0 — engineering notes from a 12-week quiet phase
The development process behind v4.0: why main went patches-only for 12 weeks, why the 5 pillars share one safety contract instead of being five separate minor releases, what 262 unit tests missed that dogfooding caught, and how the agent-paired-with-tests workflow compresses the inner loop without compromising the outer one.

v4.0 — The editor where agents live
v4.0 is the agent-native author release. Five pillars in core — Inline Agent Panel (streamed chat-with-vault), Scheduled Recipes (cron / on-save / on-commit, AutoGit branch sandbox + accept/reject), Trace View, Multi-workspace MCP Federation, and Ollama first-class. Plus REST API, BYOK cost meter, recipe cookbook (11 starters), first-run wizard. Every agent run is reviewable before it touches main — five different invariants holding the same line.

v3.6 — Live-edit blocks, plus 5 polish fixes
The long-standing live-edit gap is closed: standalone image lines and GFM tables now render in place inside the editor, with the source coming back the moment the cursor enters. Plus 5 polish fixes — AI button routing, PNG export crop-to-content, optional watermark, folder picker memory, and a Mac toolbar overflow fix.

v3.5.5 — Win font fix, self-hosted analytics, PR #48 polish
A 6-week-old Windows UI font regression finally diagnosed and fixed. Telemetry migrated off Aptabase to a self-hosted Cloudflare D1 endpoint — zero third-party SaaS in the data path. Plus PR #48 from @beihai23: PDF export 30s timeout, outline button moved into the tab bar, mermaid overlay contrast.

v2.3 — Semantic search, WYSIWYG live edit, Windows portable
Search your notes by meaning, not just keywords — 100% on-device, no model file download. Plus a Typora-style live edit mode, a 10× Windows file-tree speedup, a portable .zip build, and a new internal MCP-driven self-test bridge.

v2.2 — MCP server, AutoGit version history, 14 AI providers
Every save is now a snapshot you can roll back from a sidebar panel. Every note is queryable from any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.). AI rewrite spans 14 BYOK providers — keys live in the OS keychain, never on disk.

v2.0 — From Markdown editor to PKM workspace
Six features designed together as one cut: wikilinks + backlinks, spell-check, daily notes + tags, inline AI rewrite (14 providers), Pandoc export with @citekey citations, Bases-style properties view.
