v0.8.1

Released 2026-08-03 · 1 min read · Omnigent maintainers

Omnigent 0.8.1 is a focused follow-up to 0.8.0, from putting a familiar piece of the interface back where you expect it to keeping the desktop app in lockstep with the rest of the platform. It reverts the header-level Chat/Terminal switcher move that landed in 0.8.0 and brings the desktop app up to the same version as everything else.

1. Chat/Terminal switcher back in its original spot

In 0.8.0 the Chat/Terminal switcher moved up into the header. That change turned out to disrupt more muscle memory than it helped, so 0.8.1 reverts it: the switcher returns to its previous location, right where you were used to reaching for it.

If you started on 0.8.0, you'll find the switcher back in the same place it lived before that release — no settings to change and nothing to relearn.

2. Desktop app aligned to 0.8.0

The Omnigent desktop app is now aligned to version 0.8.0, so its version tracks the rest of the platform. This keeps the app, server, and web experience on a consistent version line, making it easier to tell at a glance which release you're running.
