Automated changelog & in-app "What’s New"

xNet now keeps a changelog you can actually read. Every release is summarized here, on the website, and inside the app — so you always know what changed when a new version lands.

The xNet workbench
  • A public changelog page with a JSON and RSS feed you can subscribe to
  • An in-app "What’s New" panel that flags updates since your last visit
  • Release notes on the desktop app are now written in plain language, not raw commit logs
  • UI screenshots captured by CI can be embedded directly in changelog entries

  • Marketing and pricing pages for managed hub hosting
  • Signup → provision → claim flow
  • Connect the app to your hosted hub from Settings

Extensibility fabric: one home for plugins, labs & AI

Plugins, labs, the AI surface, and the editor are converging into a single extensibility fabric, so a capability built in one place can be reused everywhere.

  • Shared trust and consent model across plugins and labs
  • Plugin contributions and lab tools can be exposed to the AI assistant
  • Foundations for an AI → Lab → Plugin assembly line

  • Capability enforcement, semver compatibility gates and inter-plugin dependencies
  • A searchable marketplace index with install-consent prompts

xNet AI chat panel works out of the box

The in-app AI assistant is wired up end-to-end — the chat panel now connects, picks a sensible model tier automatically, and reports errors honestly.

  • Fixed the connection so the assistant responds on a fresh install
  • Automatic model-tier selection with a clear status badge
  • Tier preference persists between sessions

Faster, cheaper CI

Behind the scenes, the build pipeline got faster and more reliable — which means features reach you sooner.

  • Parallelized lint, typecheck and test jobs
  • Cached browser and native build dependencies

Native CRM & ERP foundation

xNet grew a native CRM — a universal party model, pipelines, deals and activities that reuse the same social and schema primitives as the rest of the app.

  • Organizations, contacts, pipelines, deals, products and quotes
  • Append-only activity timeline and contact de-duplication
  • vCard import/export and GDPR helpers

  • Import from CSV, OFX and QIF

Screenshots of every UI change, automatically

Every pull request that touches the interface now gets before/after screenshots and GIFs captured by CI — the same visuals that can feed this changelog.

  • Automatic screenshot, diff and GIF capture for changed UI
  • A sticky gallery comment on each pull request
  • Durable galleries that survive after merge
