v1.43.0

August 3, 2026
Features
  • 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, 2026
Features
  • 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, 2026
Features
  • 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, 2026
Features
  • 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.
