+- v26.8.1: Added Hetzner's EU-hosted inference API as a provider, along with support for the latest open-source models like DeepSeek V4, GLM 5.2, Kimi K2.7 & K3, and Qwen 3.6 & 3.8; added the Visual Briefing Assistant as a preview feature and the Batch Processing Assistant to process entire folders of documents in one run; you can now share, import, and delete plugins; greatly improved working with files, including much better Word and OpenDocument support; expanded enterprise IT support with configuration priorities, test configurations before rollout, and policies for plugin sharing and imports.
 - v26.7.3: Added support for the latest OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google models; introduced audio and video transcription, a log viewer assistant, and AI-assisted editing and code management in the Assistant Builder; expanded presentation support with OpenDocument files, speaker notes, comments, and metadata; and improved Linux integration, enterprise update controls, and reliability after waking from sleep.
 - v26.7.1: Added the assistant builder as a beta preview for creating assistant plugins without coding; assistants can now keep running in the background; improved provider capability visibility and expert overrides, expanded enterprise controls for data source behavior and trusted assistant plugins, and made chats, assistants, and source links more reliable.
 - v26.6.2: Expanded enterprise configuration options with chat defaults, custom introduction panels, trust settings for data security, and managed confidence levels; added auto-backups for app settings & the possibility to view managed profiles and chat templates.

 - v0.10.0: Added support for newer models like Mistral 3 & GPT 5.2, OpenRouter as LLM and embedding provider, the possibility to use file attachments in chats, and support for images as input.
 - v0.9.51: Added support for [Perplexity](https://www.perplexity.ai/); citations added so that LLMs can provide source references (e.g., some OpenAI models, Perplexity); added support for OpenAI's Responses API so that all text LLMs from OpenAI now work in MindWork AI Studio, including Deep Research models; web searches are now possible (some OpenAI models, Perplexity).
 - v0.9.50: Added support for self-hosted LLMs using [vLLM](https://blog.vllm.ai/2023/06/20/vllm.html).
-- v0.9.46: Released our plugin system, a German language plugin, early support for enterprise environments, and configuration plugins. Additionally, we added the Pandoc integration for future data processing and file generation.
