Pinder: release notes

Each version, newest first.

0.5.12

It carries the Steward's kit 2.36.1: the parts every agent of the manor shares.

What changed

  • The Steward's kit 2.36.1: GenieX 0.8.0 is the NPU's server on a Snapdragon.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual. This kit comes after 2.36.0; 2.33.0 (Steward 0.19.4) is still to be released and doesn't depend on it.

0.5.11

It carries the Steward's kit 2.35.0: the parts every agent of the manor shares.

What changed

  • The Steward's kit 2.35.0: A release of an agent Castellan sells goes to the Exchequer, and no longer to the public releases repository.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual. Agents for sale stop appearing in the public releases repository once the Exchequer 0.6.0 is deployed with its migration applied. Until then, releases go there as before.

0.5.10

It carries the Steward's kit 2.34.0: the parts every agent of the manor shares.

What changed

  • The Steward's kit 2.34.0: An agent's rounds never stop silently.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual. This kit comes after 2.33.0 (Steward 0.19.4); if 2.33.0 isn't released yet, release it first.

0.5.9

It carries the Steward's kit 2.32.1: the parts every agent of the manor shares.

What changed

  • The Steward's kit 2.32.1: The kit names the app the person bought: Castellan.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual.

0.5.8

It carries the Steward's kit 2.32.0: the parts every agent of the manor shares.

What changed

  • The Steward's kit 2.32.0: A release goes to the agent's own repository, and to a releases repository only where one is named.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual.

0.5.7

It carries the Steward's kit 2.31.0: the parts every agent of the manor shares.

What changed

  • The Steward's kit 2.31.0: Local AI on every Copilot+ NPU, installed by setup: Qualcomm Snapdragon, Intel Core Ultra and AMD Ryzen AI.

Before you update

  • The accelerators move from Reeve's config.json to %USERPROFILE%\.manor\accelerators\config.json the first time the Smith (or Reeve's keeper) reads them after updating: a copy, word for word, and Reeve's file is left as it was. Nothing to do.
  • On a PC whose NPU isn't set up yet, the Smith's or Manor's Set up now offers its maker's server and models (several GB) and asks first.

0.5.6

It carries the Steward's kit 2.30.0: the parts every agent of the manor shares.

What changed

  • The Steward's kit 2.30.0: A release is published to the Exchequer, Castellan's release service, as well as to GitHub.

0.5.5

It carries the Steward's kit 2.29.0: the parts every agent of the manor shares.

What changed

  • The Steward's kit 2.29.0: Every agent's page fits a phone: the title bar's action and wide tables no longer push the page sideways.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual.

0.5.4

It names no folders of one particular PC.

What changed

  • Its entry for Manor (manor-agent.json) no longer names a Node in a folder only one PC has: it runs on Manor's own Node, or one installed in the usual place.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual.

0.5.3

It carries the Steward's kit 2.28.1: the parts every agent of the manor shares.

What changed

  • The Steward's kit 2.28.1: Security fix: a value with curly quotes in it could break out of a PowerShell string.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual.

0.5.2

It carries the Steward's kit 2.28.0: the parts every agent of the manor shares.

What changed

  • The Steward's kit 2.28.0: Required settings: an agent that can't work without something from you waits for it, and onboarding asks for it.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual.

0.5.1

It carries the Steward's kit 2.27.0: the parts every agent of the manor shares.

What changed

  • The Steward's kit 2.27.0: An accelerator's name is what the PC calls it, never a setting.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual.

0.5.0

A shorter Settings page, and a tour for new hires.

What's new

  • A tour. When Manor hires the Pinder it offers its tour: what it does, when a leftover process counts as a stray, then its page, section by section. Open it again any time at #/tour.
  • The manor's page frame. The title bar, on and off duty, the theme and Back to Manor are the same as on every agent's page, and Run now is in the title bar.

What changed

  • Settings is short. It shows when an orphan and a runaway count as strays, and the allowlist. The round interval, the CPU threshold and sample, the lists of runtimes, launchers and parents, the extra agent ports, the shared servers and the notes per round are under Advanced.
  • Impounding works as before: tick the strays, then Impound the ticked ones.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual. Your settings are kept, the round interval and notes per round included.

0.4.32

It carries the Steward's kit 2.26.0: the parts every agent of the manor shares.

What changed

  • The Steward's kit 2.26.0: The kit names no one's GitHub account, private repository or folder.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual.

0.4.31

Ready for the Steward's kit 2.26.0, and its wording for a note that doesn't say where it was written.

What changed

  • A note on a stray that was kept from Pinder's earliest versions, from before notes said which accelerator wrote them, takes the kit's label for it. With the kit 2.26.0 that is "note from a local model, unverified" rather than "note from the NPU", since it can't be known that it was the NPU. Every other note's label is the same as before.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual.

0.4.29

It carries the Steward's kit 2.19.0: the parts every agent of the manor shares.

What changed

  • The Steward's kit 2.19.0: Every release says what it brings: its notes are the agent's CHANGELOG.md entry for the version.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual.

0.4.28

It takes the Porter's notes on programs before asking a model, and carries the Steward's kit 2.18.0: the parts every agent of the manor shares.

What's new

  • Before asking a model about a stray program, Pinder asks the Porter (0.4.29 or later) for its note on it. A note found is shown labelled as the Porter's, and no model call is spent; when the Porter has none or doesn't answer, the model is asked as before.
  • Script hosts such as node, python or PowerShell aren't looked up at the Porter, since its note would describe the runtime rather than what this one is doing.
  • This release brings 0.4.27, which was never released on its own.

What changed

  • The Steward's kit 2.18.0: Non-employee projects: repositories that ride along with the manor.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual.

0.4.26

It carries the Steward's kit 2.17.0: the parts every agent of the manor shares.

What changed

  • The Steward's kit 2.17.0: A release is built, never the readable source, and published in the public Jcollier0120/Manor-releases.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual.

0.4.25

It carries the Steward's kit 2.16.0: the parts every agent of the manor shares.

What changed

  • The Steward's kit 2.16.0: Every agent's page uses the width of the window.
  • Pinder now has the tool it needs to build its releases from the next kit on.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it updates itself as usual.

0.4.24

It carries the Steward's kit 2.15.0: the parts every agent of the manor shares.
