    Release notes for V3Code.

    Agents, Debug, Cyber Protection, and a calmer editor.

    • Compatible ACP agents now run inside native V3Code chats with their own identity, approvals, diffs, slash commands, and separate conversation history. The compact agent picker makes the active agent clear without replacing open editor tabs.
    • Settings → Agents adds registry and custom-command setup, honest launcher and sign-in states, per-agent Memory / Index and Browser access, and an explicit V3Code Terminal ACP entry. Setup commands are staged for review, never run automatically.
    • Connected accounts brings models from supported provider subscriptions into the V3Code picker without API-key billing. A separate free-auto lane rotates across the currently working free agent models, with clear warnings that capacity and the roster can change.
    • Debug mode adds an evidence-first reproduce → localise → prove → fix → guard workflow, bounded repair tools, visible operation lifecycle, transcript density, and a loopback runtime-evidence dock for trusted single-folder workspaces.
    • Cyber Protection adds a composer toggle that helps the agent notice possible security concerns it might otherwise overlook. A built-in scan supplies review leads, followed by authorization and business-logic checks that still require judgment. It is an aid, not a complete audit or a guarantee that a project is secure.
    • Expose V3Code now offers guided desktop connection, repair, local extension, and stable config paths. Review tools, pollable research jobs, and workspace-scoped local coordination expand what connected agents can use without granting shell access.
    • External-agent briefings make the project boundary explicit: open the target folder, start a new agent chat there, and wait for index readiness before relying on indexed context.
    • Background memory indexing now pauses deliberately between bounded idle slices, which avoids repeatedly scheduling work in an otherwise idle editor. This is a targeted reliability improvement, not a universal speed claim.
    • Retired local-embedding selections resolve to the supported path, while lexical search remains available if local embeddings cannot load.
    • V3Code 1.4.9-0098 is available for Apple Silicon Macs and Windows x64 through their stable update channels. Signed Intel Mac downloads and Linux x64 early-access archives are available manually from the download page.

    Auto-update is live. V3Code now keeps itself current.

    • The editor updates itself — new builds arrive in the background on macOS, signed and notarized end to end.
    • Removed the bundled GitHub Copilot runtime, making the download noticeably smaller.
    • Fixed a settings error notification that could appear on startup.

    Plans, meters, and V3Code Build 4.5.

    • Account tiers arrive, with a live token meter in the profile menu so you always know where you stand.
    • New model: V3Code Build 4.5.
    • Opus Hybrid upgraded — harder problems now route to a stronger executor automatically.
    • Smoother sign-in handshake, plus rendering fixes in packaged builds.

    Signed macOS builds.

    • macOS builds are now Developer ID signed and notarized — no more Gatekeeper warnings.
    • Update feed infrastructure in place, paving the way for auto-update.
    • V3Code now lives at v3code.dev.

    Foundations.

    • Semantic index quality jump — a new embedding model on the auto setting makes codebase search markedly sharper.
    • Persistent memory with knowledge-graph recall: the agent remembers your project between sessions.
    • Beast search joins the built-in toolset.
    • Prompt assembly presets for tuning how much context each request carries.

    The full timeline, back to day one, lives at v3code.dev/changelog.
