# v26.5.5, build 240 (2026-05-25 18:52 UTC)
- Released the voice recording and transcription feature for all users. You no longer need to enable a preview feature to configure transcription providers, select a transcription provider, or use dictation.
- Added export options for profiles and chat templates, including an option to package chat template attachments into configuration plugins.
- Added support for organization-managed ERI servers in configuration plugins, so admins can preconfigure external data sources for users.
- Added an export option for ERI server data sources, so admins can create configuration plugin snippets without writing the Lua code manually.
- Added an option to configure the timeout setting for all requests. This is useful when you have a slow network connection, or you have to work with slow AI servers. It is also possible to configure this timeout for an entire organization using configuration plugins.
- Added the ability to keep multiple chats running at the same time. For example, you can let a complex research chat continue in the background while you use some assistants to improve a text.
- Added the username to the information page to make organization support easier when users share their screen.
- Improved the app's security foundation with major modernization of the native runtime and its internal communication layer. This work is mostly invisible during everyday use, but it replaces older components that no longer received the security updates we require. We also continued updating security-sensitive dependencies so AI Studio stays on a healthier, better maintained base.
- Improved the Pandoc management and detection process to make it more reliable.
- Improved the Qdrant startup and vector database initialization, so AI Studio can start more reliably while the local vector database is still starting.
- Fixed the Pandoc installation, which could fail and prevent AI Studio from installing its local Pandoc dependency.
- Fixed an issue where the spellchecking setting was not applied to all text fields in the slide builder assistant.
- Fixed an issue where legacy `.doc` files could be selected even though AI Studio could not process them. These files are now rejected with a clear error message. Thanks to Bernhard for reporting this issue.
- Fixed an issue where attached documents were detached when editing a previous prompt. They now remain attached.
- Fixed an issue where failed transcription requests could be shown as empty transcription results instead of a clear error message.
- Fixed an issue where an AI response in chat could be interrupted when you interacted with workspaces, such as opening, closing, or resizing the workspace panel.
- Fixed an issue with switching between chat threads while multiple chats are running.
- Fixed error messages for provider requests so missing OpenAI API credits and too many requests are shown clearly in chats, assistants, transcription, and model loading.
- Fixed missing translations for file type names in file selection dialogs.
- Fixed the chat user prompt being cleared when toggling the workspace view.
- Upgraded the native secret storage integration to `keyring-core`, keeping API keys in the secure credential store provided by the operating system.
- Upgraded Rust to v1.95.0.
- Upgraded .NET to v9.0.16.
- Upgraded Tauri to v2.11.1. Thanks to Paul `PaulKoudelka` for working on this migration.
- Upgraded PDFium to v148.0.7763.0.
- Upgraded Qdrant to v1.18.1.
- Upgraded other dependencies as well.
