OmniClip RAG v0.4.2 Release Notes
Release Focus
v0.4.2 turns the recent environment-root and GUI recovery work into a release-ready product line.
This version is not about adding a second new subsystem. It is about making the current desktop app, the MCP shell, and the startup/runtime/data-root contract behave like one coherent product instead of a collection of adjacent flows.
Highlights
- Unified the active data root into one startup truth shared by GUI, launcher, headless bootstrap, Runtime selection, logs, model cache, and extension runtime storage.
- Added a restricted GUI recovery shell so users can still repair or switch environments when the active data root is unavailable, instead of being locked out by a broken path.
- Added a proper saved data-root switcher with preflight classification, environment summaries, invalid-path cleanup, and controlled restart semantics.
- Added compact query-desk collapse so the search surface can shrink to a one-line working mode when extra controls are not needed.
- Added five classic UI themes:
- Sepia
- Nord
- Solarized Light
- Solarized Dark
- Graphite
- Unified the app icon chain so the runtime assets, packaged Windows icon resources, and GUI shell point at the same icon source.
- Published the project website on GitHub Pages:
