Releases

Current public release: CLI binaries.

DraftPilot's stable public channel is the standalone CLI for macOS arm64 and Linux x64. Windows CLI and desktop app packaging are preview channels while we collect more real-machine testing.

CLI updates

The CLI reads the release manifest, verifies SHA-256 before replacing itself, and prints detailed release notes when the manifest provides them.

What's new in 0.1.4

Added a unified Create menu for Slides, Poster, PDF, Supplementary PDF, and arXiv package exports.
Added arXiv/preprint package export that stages a clean source tarball, removes review line numbers and conference metadata, enables page numbers, includes the current .bbl, and rewrites SVG figures to PDF-backed graphics.
Added direct PDF export for the currently previewed PDF and standalone supplementary PDF export with supplement-only references.
Improved LaTeX editing with smarter autocomplete, Cmd/Ctrl+Space suggestions, Cmd/Ctrl+/ commenting, and editor find support.
Cloudflare-hosted CLI binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows preview with SHA-256 verification.
Stable draftpilot update flow through the public manifest URL.
Website download pages point at working Cloudflare release assets for direct install and update.
LaTeX autocomplete now understands command, environment, citation, and reference contexts instead of mixing unrelated suggestions.
Create Slides and Create Poster now protect existing generated TeX/PDF/notes files and default to versioned outputs unless overwrite is intentional.
Added copyable draftpilot report diagnostics for safe user support without exposing paper content or paths by default.
Project setup now lets users choose the main TeX file instead of always assuming main.tex.
Improved CLI packaging for local machines, Linux VMs, and SSH-oriented workflows.
Added paper-agent UI integration with chat tabs, rename/close controls, resizing, and faster message handling.
Added build-error assistance from the UI so users can ask DraftPilot/Codex to inspect and fix LaTeX failures.
Fix Build now validates the repaired project automatically and reports whether the build is clean or still needs attention.
Added slide-generation workflows for conference talks from a paper workspace.
Added scientific-poster generation workflows with a stronger landscape poster template, section-selection controls, bundled baposter support, and QA-oriented generation prompts.
Improved logs behavior with overlay layout, copy-log support, resizable height, and automatic closing when users return to editing.
Improved PDF controls, zoom behavior, page navigation, and right-pane fit defaults.
Added comments, highlights, TODOs, and review-management flows for paper iteration and rebuttal work.
Added support-bundle diagnostics so users can export safe environment/debug information without exposing paper content by default.
Added anonymous telemetry plumbing and privacy documentation for installs, updates, command success/failure, platform split, and coarse location analytics.
Expanded documentation for CLI, VM, local, desktop-preview, storage, troubleshooting, release, and update workflows.
