02
The unified release publishes native runtime archives plus a macOS Apple Silicon desktop preview and signed updater artifact.
01
Current stable release
Wenlan v0.15.8 is the current stable release recorded in CHANGELOG.md and GitHub Releases. It points the desktop updater at the unified release manifest, following v0.15.7's app-bundle promotion and v0.15.6's move of the desktop crate into the monorepo.
The website keeps public install and product claims aligned to the stable release unless a page explicitly labels a feature as unreleased or on main.

v0.15.8 highlights
The v0.15.8 release completes the unified desktop release path by pointing the app updater at the shared manifest. The same release surface carries the macOS desktop preview and native runtime archives.
- The app updater reads the unified Wenlan release manifest.
- The macOS Apple Silicon app bundle ships from the same versioned monorepo as its sidecars.
- The release keeps native Windows x64, macOS Apple Silicon, and Linux x64 or ARM64 runtime archives.
- The macOS desktop preview is not yet notarized; the maintained installer verifies the release before clearing quarantine for Wenlan only.
- Stable release date: 2026-08-09.
03
v0.14.x highlights
The v0.14.x releases strengthen the write and review lifecycle for source-backed pages while making model routing explicit and vendor-neutral.
- Every Page write routes through one gate, including a draft lifecycle and wire contract.
- Page Map v1 adds schema, accessors, routes, and an improve pass.
- Per-job source pins and a resolved-routing endpoint avoid vendor privilege.
- Read scopes and approval-gated lint repair are enforced.
- v0.14.1 preserves the exact canonical page source.
- Stable release date: 2026-07-20.
04
v0.13.x highlights
The v0.13.x releases expanded diagnostics and external-LLM configuration while hardening release and maintenance behavior.
- External-LLM API key, config hot-swap, and external status.
- Whole-system and deep semantic lint diagnostics.
- Directory sync keeps the daemon responsive.
- Evidence-driven lint maintenance paths are hardened.
05
v0.12.0 highlights
The v0.12.0 release reworks how wiki pages are synthesized and cited. Distill becomes one refresh operation with canonical PageWrite births, and synthesis is gated on citations so page claims stay traceable to sources.
- Distill redesign: one refresh op, canonical PageWrite births, citation-gated synthesis.
- Per-claim verified citations for wiki pages.
- Loopback daemon guarded against cross-origin browser access.
- Server binds its port before any data-dir work.
- Release date: 2026-07-08.
06
v0.10.0 to v0.11.0 highlights
The v0.10.x and v0.11.0 releases focused on getting documents into the store and letting them talk back to it.
- Folder and multi-format document ingest.
- Doc-grounded revisions: documents propose rewrites to conflicting captures.
- Pages skill ported to the Codex plugin.
07
v0.9.1 to v0.9.6 highlights
The rest of the v0.9.x line covered the public Wenlan cutover cleanup and made distilled wiki pages first-class across recall and search surfaces, with CLI-first browsing through wenlan pages and a reworked /curate revision queue.
- Public rename cleanup completed across docs, plugin, and scripts.
- Distilled wiki pages surfaced across recall and search, space and tier gated.
- wenlan pages CLI and CLI-first /pages and /curate browsing.
08
v0.9.0 highlights
The v0.9.0 release is the first stable Wenlan-branded release after the public rename. It moves distribution identities to Wenlan while preserving the local-first daemon, CLI, MCP connector, and Claude Code plugin workflow.
- Public package, binary, crate, and repository names now use Wenlan identities.
- The Claude Code plugin and setup path install through wenlan package names.
- WENLAN_RERANKER_MODE became configurable in this release; the current CLI path is wenlan models reranker <off|lite|full>.
09
v0.7.0 highlights
The v0.7.0 release broadened Wenlan from a macOS-first runtime into a cross-platform local daemon with explicit spaces and stronger evaluation discipline.
- Cross-platform runtime support for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
- Space subcommands and doctor resolver state; the current CLI path is wenlan spaces.
- Plugin and server space resolver plumbing.
- KG-faithfulness and page-distillation faithfulness benchmarks.
- Structured binary judge and reproducibility foundations for evals.
- Release pipeline fixes for crates, npm, Homebrew, and version sync.

Earlier milestones
The v0.6.x line introduced the domain-to-space transition, curation workflows, pending revisions, and stronger daemon/client boundaries.
The v0.5.x line merged the MCP server and Claude Code plugin into the monorepo, established the locked skill set, and made the public packages line up with the repo runtime.
11
Unreleased main work
After v0.15.8, main-branch work should be treated as unreleased until a release entry publishes it. Earlier 0.8.x work included opt-in retrieval, refinery, and read-time experiments such as query decomposition, graph activation gates, FTS hardening, temporal filters, session diversification, salience priors, fact channels, k-hop graph traversal, global preludes, background reflection debounce, CoT retrieval, and LLM read-time routing.
Those PRs are useful signals for roadmap direction, but public users should treat them as main-branch work until a release entry publishes them.

Where to follow releases
GitHub releases are the canonical place to inspect release artifacts. CHANGELOG.md is generated by release-please and records the release history in the source repo.
