The Assistant & Notes Update (v0.5.0)
Highlights
-
.NET 10 + Avalonia refresh: solution retargeted to .NET 10, Avalonia bumped to 11.3.13, DevTools migrated to AvaloniaUI.DiagnosticsSupport, and drag/drop + clipboard code updated for current APIs (
DataTransfer,DoDragDropAsync, typed clipboard helpers). -
Assistant & orchestration: routing layer with a small manager model for JSON routing decisions, hardware tiering (GPU probes, snapshots, cache invalidation) feeding model selection and resource governance, skill routing with bundled skills (Application, Mindmap, Notes, Path), conversation memory (snapshots, summarization, tool dispatch scope), and simplified tool surface for more reliable tool calls. Mindmap and notes tools gained richer parameters (e.g. batch mindmap nodes, note search/sort/snippet options).
-
Chat experience: streaming and reasoning/thought UI, collapsible chat history sidebar (7-day retention then pruned), copy and regenerate on assistant messages, Enter to send / Ctrl+Enter for newline, length control (short / normal / detailed) replacing older “general/explainer” modes, process tracking and tool-call visibility in the dataset layer, and GPU streaming options / reveal pacing in settings.
-
Embeddings & knowledge: batch embeddings (single ONNX run for multiple texts), PDF text extraction (PdfPig) for ingestion, RAG ingest logging for completion and embedding failures, and optional chat dataset logging for exported turn records.
-
Notes & clipboard: custom block clipboard preserving inline formatting (plain paste to other apps as markdown), paste markdown mapped into internal blocks/runs, branding asset refresh, and maintenance pass (quieter LlamaCpp debug output, binding/warning cleanup).
-
Image blocks: new Image block type with path/alt/width metadata, markdown serialization, left/center/right alignment with tooltips and styles, rich-text captions, improved resize handle (inside image, drag ghosts, edge auto-scroll), and fixes for first-click on image chrome and caption hover/focus.
-
Layout blocks: Two-column layouts with nested blocks and ColumnGroup-style structure, multi-line quote blocks, multi-line paste into columns with caret preserved across blocks, plus fixes for separator line, empty block visuals, and watermark remnants on rapid Enter.
-
Editing & navigation: Shift+click range selection on drag handles, Ctrl+drag multi-block move, formatting keyboard shortcuts, full-block-area text drag-select (padding no longer dead zone), block spacing and + button alignment cleanup, flyout polish and duplicate note, and sidebar overhaul: drag reorder for notes and folders, double-click rename, and rename fixes.
