 # v26.7.3, build 245 (2026-07-xx xx:xx UTC)
 - Added support for OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna; Anthropic Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5; and Google Gemini 3 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and Gemini 3.5 Flash.
 - Added audio and video transcription for chats and assistants. AI Studio now prepares supported media locally, sends only normalized audio to the configured transcription provider, and attaches the resulting transcript instead of the original media.
+- Added enterprise configuration options to hide the last changelog and vision panels on the welcome page. Thanks, Dominic Neuburg (`donework`), for the contribution.
 - Improved the "My Tasks Assistant": you can now provide one or more documents in addition to text or use documents alone when asking to identify tasks.
 - Improved update guidance for Flatpak installations and added an enterprise option that lets organizations manage updates entirely through their IT department.
 - Fixed an issue that could leave AI Studio unresponsive after waking the computer from sleep. Yes, we know this was an annoying bug, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
