  • Post-Change Sync Utility - Unified postChangeSync.ts utility for graceful error handling without blocking main flow
  • Import Config Auto-Sync - Automatically sync after config import to ensure immediate effectiveness
  • Smart Conflict Resolution - Distinguishes "fully successful" and "partially successful" states for precise user feedback

Configuration Editor Improvements

  • JSON Format Button - One-click JSON formatting in configuration editors
  • Real-Time TOML Validation - Live syntax validation for Codex configuration with error highlighting

Load Live Config When Editing

  • Protect Manual Modifications - When editing the currently active provider, prioritize displaying the actual effective configuration from live files
  • Dual-Source Strategy - Automatically loads from live config for active provider, SSOT for inactive ones

Claude Configuration Data Structure Enhancements

  • Granular Model Configuration - Migrated from dual-key to quad-key system for better model tier differentiation
    • New fields: ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL, ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL, ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL, ANTHROPIC_MODEL
    • Replaces legacy ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL with automatic migration
    • Backend normalizes old configs on first read/write with smart fallback chain
    • UI expanded from 2 to 4 model input fields with intelligent defaults
  • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY Support - Providers can now use ANTHROPIC_API_KEY field in addition to ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN
  • Template Variable System - Support for dynamic configuration replacement (e.g., KAT-Coder's ENDPOINT_ID parameter)
  • Endpoint Candidates - Predefined endpoint list for speed testing and endpoint management
  • Visual Theme Configuration - Custom icons and colors for provider cards

Updated Provider Models

  • Kimi k2 - Updated to latest kimi-k2-thinking model

New Provider Presets

Added 5 new provider presets:

  • DMXAPI - Multi-model aggregation service
  • Azure Codex - Microsoft Azure OpenAI endpoint
  • AnyRouter - None-profit routing service
  • AiHubMix - Multi-model aggregation service
  • MiniMax - Open source AI model provider

Partner Promotion Mechanism

  • Support for ecosystem partner promotion (Zhipu GLM Z.ai)
  • Sponsored banner integration in README

Improvements

Configuration & Sync

  • Unified Error Handling - AppError with internationalized error messages throughout backend
  • Fixed apiKeyUrl Priority - Correct priority order for API key URL resolution
  • Fixed MCP Sync Issues - Resolved sync-to-other-side functionality failures
  • Import Config Sync - Fixed sync issues after configuration import
  • Config Error Handling - Force exit on config error to prevent silent fallback and data loss

UI/UX Enhancements

  • Unique Provider Icons - Each provider card now has unique icons and color identification
  • Unified Border System - Consistent border design across all components
  • Drag Interaction - Push effect animation and improved drag handle icons
  • Enhanced Visual Feedback - Better current provider visual indication
  • Dialog Standardization - Unified dialog sizes and layout consistency
  • Form Improvements - Optimized model placeholders, simplified provider hints, category-specific hints
  • Usage Display Inline - Usage info moved next to enable button for better space utilization

Complete Internationalization

  • Error Messages i18n - All backend error messages support Chinese/English
  • Tray Menu i18n - System tray menu fully internationalized
  • UI Components i18n - 100% coverage across all user-facing components

Bug Fixes

Configuration Management

  • Fixed apiKeyUrl priority issue
  • Fixed MCP sync-to-other-side functionality failure
  • Fixed sync issues after config import
  • Fixed Codex API Key auto-sync
  • Fixed endpoint speed test functionality
  • Fixed provider duplicate insertion position (now inserts next to original)
  • Fixed custom endpoint preservation in edit mode
  • Prevent silent fallback and data loss on config error

Usage Query

  • Fixed auto-query interval timing issue
  • Ensured refresh button shows loading animation on click

UI Issues

  • Fixed name collision error (get_init_error command)
  • Fixed language setting rollback after successful save
  • Fixed language switch state reset (dependency cycle)
  • Fixed edit mode button alignment

Startup Issues

  • Force exit on config error (no silent fallback)
  • Eliminated code duplication causing initialization errors

Architecture Refactoring

Backend (Rust) - 5 Phase Refactoring

  1. Phase 1: Unified error handling (AppError + i18n error messages)
  2. Phase 2: Command layer split by domain (commands/{provider,mcp,config,settings,plugin,misc}.rs)
  3. Phase 3: Integration tests and transaction mechanism (config snapshot + failure rollback)
  4. Phase 4: Extracted Service layer (services/{provider,mcp,config,speedtest}.rs)
  5. Phase 5: Concurrency optimization (RwLock instead of Mutex, scoped guard to avoid deadlock)

Frontend (React + TypeScript) - 4 Stage Refactoring

  1. Stage 1: Test infrastructure (vitest + MSW + @testing-library/react)
  2. Stage 2: Extracted custom hooks (useProviderActions, useMcpActions, useSettings, useImportExport, etc.)
  3. Stage 3: Component splitting and business logic extraction
  4. Stage 4: Code cleanup and formatting unification

Testing System

  • Hooks Unit Tests - 100% coverage for all custom hooks
  • Integration Tests - Coverage for key processes (App, SettingsDialog, MCP Panel)
  • MSW Mocking - Backend API mocking to ensure test independence
  • Test Infrastructure - vitest + MSW + @testing-library/react

Code Quality

  • Unified Parameter Format - All Tauri commands migrated to camelCase (Tauri 2 specification)
  • Semantic Clarity - AppType renamed to AppId for better semantics
  • Centralized Parsing - Unified app parameter parsing with FromStr trait
  • DRY Violations Cleanup - Eliminated code duplication throughout codebase
  • Dead Code Removal - Removed unused missing_param helper, deprecated tauri-api.ts, redundant KimiModelSelector

Internal Optimizations (User Transparent)

Removed Legacy Migration Logic

v3.6.0 removed v1 config auto-migration and copy file scanning logic:

  • Impact: Improved startup performance, cleaner codebase
  • Compatibility: v2 format configs fully compatible, no action required
  • Note: Users upgrading from v3.1.0 or earlier should first upgrade to v3.2.x or v3.5.x for one-time migration, then upgrade to v3.6.0

Command Parameter Standardization

Backend unified to use app parameter (values: claude or codex):

  • Impact: More standardized code, friendlier error prompts
  • Compatibility: Frontend fully adapted, users don't need to care about this change

Dependencies

  • Updated to Tauri 2.8.x
  • Updated to TailwindCSS 4.x
  • Updated to TanStack Query v5.90.x
  • Maintained React 18.2.x and TypeScript 5.3.x
