Caelune / 星野 v0.5.1 Release Notes

Release Status

v0.5.1 is the desktop UI clarity, onboarding, and release-metadata refinement release.

Release Focus

This release makes Caelune easier to read and operate without changing its local-first retrieval architecture, knowledge-base formats, Runtime layout, or MCP tool contracts. The desktop interface now has a clearer visual hierarchy across its supported themes, more practical bilingual guidance, and a startup experience that follows the saved application theme from the first visible window.

Highlights

• Refined the main navigation, cards, tables, buttons, input fields, focus states, status badges, and header hierarchy across the supported UI themes.
• Improved Chinese and English labels, guidance, and tooltips for first-time users while keeping expert workflows compact.
• The startup progress window now loads the saved UI theme before it is shown, avoiding a visible Windows-theme-to-app-theme switch.
• The Windows title bar now shows the release version instead of repeating the application name.
• The README files now show separate, current, full-resolution Query Console and Results and Details screenshots in Chinese and English.
• MCP initialization now reports the Caelune release version instead of the bundled MCP SDK version.
• Version references, Windows examples, MCPB metadata, and Registry metadata are aligned to 0.5.1.

Compatibility

• Existing data roots, knowledge bases, indexes, Runtime components, model caches, UI settings, and live-watch settings remain compatible.
• The Python package remains omniclip_rag and the MCP tool IDs remain omniclip.status and omniclip.search.
• No database migration, index rebuild, Runtime reinstall, or model redownload is required solely for this update.

Validation Scope

• Documentation screenshots contain no query results, note contents, usernames, credentials, or absolute local paths.

Upgrade Guidance

Extract Caelune-v0.5.1-WIN-EXE.zip to a new folder and start Caelune.exe. Keep the previous application folder until the new build has opened normally and completed a query; it can then be archived or removed manually.
