Changelog

What’s new in OpenHydra, newest first. The desktop app auto-updates, so you’re usually on the latest already, grab it any time from Downloads.

v0.3.7 2026-08-08 Latest

Your standing sticks around. Reputation, credits and receipts now persist across app restarts instead of resetting on each launch.
Correct connector details. The local API address shown in Connectors & Settings now matches the real port (16527).

v0.3.6 2026-08-08

Chats persist across restarts. Your conversations are saved and restored when you reopen the app.
Images, video & audio in chat. Generated media renders inline, each with copy and download buttons.
New default local port (16527). The built-in API moved off 8080 so it no longer clashes with other local AI apps.
Self-serve is free. Answering your own requests no longer spends or earns credits.
Cleaner reasoning models. A model’s private “thinking” is kept out of the final answer.
Reliable Linux download & more. The AppImage downloads cleanly instead of stalling, plus hourly update checks and a smoother Exo start.

v0.3.5 2026-08-07

Drop-tolerant long generations. Big image, audio and video jobs survive a dropped connection, the provider holds the result and the app reconnects to fetch it.
ComfyUI support. Bring any ComfyUI workflow and get images, audio or video back through the same OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

v0.3.4 2026-08-02

First signed & notarized release. macOS builds are now Apple-signed and notarized, the app opens with no Gatekeeper warning.
Coding-agent tool-calling gateway. Function / tool calls now flow through the OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so coding agents can drive the network.
In-app engine installer. Install and run an inference engine from the desktop app, Ollama, llama.cpp, LM Studio, vLLM, Exo and ComfyUI, with per-OS handling.

v0.3.3 2026-07-28

Ledger, stats & activity timeline in the app. See what you’ve served and consumed over time, right in the desktop UI.
Steadier provider list. Sticky liveness with idle-dimming reduces the flicker as peers come and go.

v0.3.2 2026-07-27

Network telemetry in the app. Live network activity and stats surfaced in the desktop UI.
App icon fix and assorted polish.

v0.3.0 – v0.3.1 2026-07-23

Auto-updater. The first release that can update itself, new versions install in place, no re-download. (v0.3.1 followed same-day with fixes.)

v0.2.0 2026-07-13

v0.1.0 2026-03-19

First public release, “Turn on. Tune in. Drop in.” Downloadable builds and the first cut of the landing page.
