v1.43.0
August 3, 2026Features
- Source-to-PDF forward search: clicking a source location in the editor highlights the corresponding position on the PDF and jumps to it
- PDF annotations: draw a box annotation on the PDF, submit it, and jump back to its location; annotations support threaded replies
- Advisor review enhancements: the review right panel is now a tab layout with the AI assistant integrated, and suggestions can be turned into annotations in one click
- AI analysis / polish panel: the editor adds a standalone analysis and polish panel that presents results as cards
- AI proactive questions: the AI actively asks when it needs clarification, and supports pausing and resuming the conversation mid-stream
- arXiv one-click import: the browser extension injects a button on arXiv paper pages to import into the platform in one click
- New users' default AI tier changed to Fast for a smoother first experience
Fixes
- Fixed collaborative editing occasionally losing just-edited content after reconnecting
- Fixed references being silently skipped when the main .tex file is in a subdirectory, which caused all citations to become undefined
- Fixed occasional first-push failures during project creation
- Fixed read-only review sessions potentially modifying other users' project files
- Fixed occasional data inconsistency after refreshing certain pages
- Fixed the tags entry not showing on empty projects
- Unified the Pure Mode tab label to 'Pure Mode'
Improvements
- API error messages support localization, covering AI conversations, authentication, payments, subscriptions, invoices, and more
- Completed English translations for core editor components, AI assistant components, and the help page
- Streamlined file tree folder row icons by removing redundant icons
v1.42.0
July 28, 2026Features
- Custom review directions: added a 'review direction' configuration with direction-level prompt templates and model parsing, plus a management page
- Project tags: projects support inline tags that can be managed, selected, filtered, and shown as badges
- Workbench AI pilot: the project list page integrates the AI assistant, which is aware of workspace changes
- User-level API Token: users can generate their own API Token to integrate with the platform
- arXiv import: a minimal end-to-end loop via the browser extension and zip package import
Fixes
- Review mode UX improvements: kept the project name, with review status moved to a gray subtitle; review mode hides the paper library entry, fixing 'visible but unclickable'
- The workbench AI panel now supports Markdown, thinking blocks, and a visible scrollbar; the status bubble no longer flickers
- Hardened collaborative editing room consistency to reduce the chance of multi-device sync loss
- Fixed the model list refresh lagging after switching AI service config, where changes did not take effect within 60s
- Fixed avatars occasionally being lost after deployment
- Pricing page text on dark mode was unreadable (dark text on dark background); the template marketplace category count reset to zero on switching; clicking a frequently-used template now auto-switches the dialog to the 'Templates' tab
- AI illustrations no longer reference non-existent images
Improvements
- Full internationalization of the admin console, covering the sidebar, dashboard, and all feature pages
v1.41.0
July 20, 2026Features
- Sidebar file search: added a 'Search' entry below 'Files', supporting fuzzy search by file name or path across all project files, with keyboard navigation, Enter to open, and clicking a directory auto-expanding to it
- AI reply first-byte and end times: AI conversation replies now show the time to first token and the end time, making it easier to observe response latency
- Admin console error report batch processing: the list supports multi-select to batch-mark items as 'handled' in one click
Fixes
- Fixed the sidebar file search panel: empty state squeezing the list, cramped two-column layout, and placeholder text wrapping
Improvements
- The visualization button icon switched from Globe to Eye, matching the 'preview' semantics better
v1.40.0
July 19, 2026Features
- AI 'steer' message: during an AI streaming reply, newly typed messages no longer queue until the current turn ends; they immediately interrupt the current turn and start a new one for a more responsive conversation.
- Thinking status bubbles now show for at least 800 ms so 'writing' does not flash by invisibly.
- Compilation now defaults to latexmk orchestration, eliminating multi-pass blind spots and automatically handling bibliographies and tables of contents.
- Worker path supports BibTeX chained compilation (latexmk auto-orchestrates the .bib workflow), completing reference chain compilation in one go.
- AI 'Max' tier upgraded to kimi-k3.
- Admin Error Report page now supports keyword and condition filtering.
- Git integration settings now display both SSH and HTTP remote URLs with copy buttons; push audit logs auto-purge after 90 days and SSH host key fingerprints are verified.
- Advisor review queue rows now show the associated version badge directly without opening details.
- File panel UI simplified: redundant 'Files & Outline' header and sort selector removed so the file area stays focused.
Fixes
- Fixed thinking status bubble text not refreshing during AI streaming, which made the UI feel stuck.
- Fixed @ file reference list in the editor overflowing its container and becoming unscrollable when many items were present.
- Fixed compile tool hardcoding main.tex and failing projects with non-standard main file names; it now auto-detects the main file.
- Fixed latexmk engine options -pdflatex / -xelatex being ignored; switched to standard -pdf / -pdfxe / -pdflua options.
- Fixed legacy intermediate file residue affecting compilation results; latexmk now runs with -norc for safer hardening.
- Fixed prometheus invalid --alertmanager.url flag causing deployment startup failure.
- Fixed deployment prepare failures silently skipping Feishu notifications (Notify gate).
- Fixed CI flaky unique constraint failures caused by missing partial unique index on the shared test DB.
- Fixed admin registration date bucket stats shifting by one day in non-UTC session timezones.
- Fixed historical AI conversation dropdown panel becoming fully transparent on hover.
- Fixed faulthandler test CI timeout flake.
Improvements
- Admin Error Report search filters adopted pi-review suggestions, improving interaction details and edge-case handling.
- Git integration dialog settings tab split into clearer 'External Repository' and 'Direct Git' groups.
