Grok-Wiki Version history

Version history

Changelog.

Track the desktop app releases that make Grok-Wiki more local-first, source-grounded, and shareable. The product stays built around user-owned credentials, local CLI agents, and provider-agnostic runtime paths.

0.0.26 June 9, 2026 Latest

Knowledge Bases become a source-backed study partner.

  • Adds the Knowledge Base distillation pipeline so Ask sessions can roll up into source-grounded cards, merge with existing cards, and stay connected to their repository evidence.
  • Adds Knowledge Base publishing and private-link read paths, plus a calmer record-shop banner and card/list toggle for dense or expanded review.
  • Changes project Knowledge Base affordances to a lightbulb, lights it when a project has a Knowledge Base, and keeps sidebar updates scoped as Knowledge Base state loads.
  • Adds guided Wiki and Ask interview flows that ask short clarifying questions before generation starts, while preserving skip paths for fast runs.
  • Adds Episode 06, “Jealousy-Driven Development,” promoting Ask as a multi-repository study partner.
  • Expands regression coverage for Knowledge Base storage, merge, publish, project grouping, Ask clarify, wiki interview, render scope, and desktop routing.
  • Ships signed and notarized macOS Apple Silicon DMG plus Tauri updater artifacts for 0.0.26.
Knowledge Base Ask Wiki Publishing Desktop
0.0.25 June 7, 2026

Floating outline peek for long Ask sessions.

  • Adds a floating outline peek for multi-turn Ask sessions so long answers stay easier to scan while you keep working in the active turn.
  • Keeps outline updates scoped to the active Ask surface instead of repainting the broader desktop shell during streaming.
  • Improves project item rendering and repository grouping coverage so project lists stay stable as repository metadata changes.
  • Adds focused regression tests for Ask outline render scope and project grouping behavior.
  • Ships signed and notarized macOS Apple Silicon DMG plus Tauri updater artifacts for 0.0.25.
Ask Outline Projects Streaming Desktop
0.0.24 June 7, 2026

Warmer desktop entry surfaces.

  • Adds 90s memory-style image covers across Projects, Wiki, Ask, Docs, and the launchpad so empty and starting states feel more welcoming.
  • Reworks Projects into an image-backed top cover while keeping the project list dense and the New Project action visible.
  • Makes Ask use a standalone top hero above the composer instead of wrapping the input surface inside the image treatment.
  • Refreshes the launchpad with a softer office coffee-kitchen banner, removes the logo mark, adds explanatory copy, and sharpens the placeholder for repo, folder, or question starts.
  • Removes the Wiki and Docs refresh button from the gallery hero to keep those generation surfaces calmer.
  • Ships signed and notarized macOS Apple Silicon DMG plus Tauri updater artifacts for 0.0.24.
Desktop Projects Launchpad Wiki Ask
0.0.23 June 6, 2026

Packaged terminal-agent launch fixes.

  • Fixes packaged macOS terminal-agent launches when Claude, Codex, Grok, or another local CLI binary is detected by the sidecar but not available on the app's narrower GUI PATH.
  • Launches local agents through the detected executable path, preserving BYOK/BYOC setups across shell managers, npm install roots, Volta, asdf, mise, nvm, and fnm.
  • Keeps very fast startup exits visible long enough to show diagnostics instead of flickering the pane closed after a failed launch.
  • Preserves Orca-style close-on-exit behavior for established terminal panes.
  • Ships signed and notarized macOS Apple Silicon DMG plus Tauri updater artifacts for 0.0.23.
Terminal Local CLI BYOK Diagnostics Desktop
0.0.22 June 6, 2026

Background completion alerts and terminal splits.

  • Adds desktop completion attention for long-running wiki and Ask work: native alerts, optional sound, dock badge counts, and deep links back to the finished item.
  • Upgrades the embedded terminal into a local workspace surface with xterm-backed PTYs, compact project/runtime controls, and cleaner empty states.
  • Adds Orca-style terminal split shortcuts: Cmd+D splits right and Cmd+Shift+D splits down while staying inside the same tab.
  • Makes terminal exit behavior match Orca more closely: natural exit closes the shell pane, duplicate split panes are prevented, and surviving panes stay visible when another pane exits.
  • Tightens streaming render boundaries so Ask answers, wiki progress, and local CLI terminal updates patch their owning surfaces instead of repainting the desktop shell.
  • Ships signed and notarized macOS Apple Silicon DMG plus Tauri updater artifacts for 0.0.22.
Notifications Terminal Splits Streaming Desktop
0.0.21 June 5, 2026

First-run onboarding and calmer agent progress.

  • Adds an Orca-style desktop onboarding flow for first-time setup: pick the default local CLI agent, choose appearance, then choose the app UI language.
  • Supports English, Japanese, and Mandarin as desktop app language choices while keeping generated wiki output language separate.
  • Updates desktop branding to use the Grok-Wiki favicon, app icon, and serif wordmark treatment so the app matches grok-wiki.com.
  • Redesigns Ask thinking steps into human-readable progress such as searching code, reading key files, and analyzing results instead of raw command/path logs.
  • Smooths high-frequency stream updates by coalescing process events, patching only the active Ask timeline, and avoiding repeated row animations or shell repaints.
  • Fixes the Grok CLI live-answer state so users always see a visible Research Agent indicator before and during streamed answer text, even when no tool events arrive first.
  • Ships signed and notarized macOS Apple Silicon DMG plus Tauri updater artifacts for 0.0.21.
Onboarding Grok CLI Thinking steps Localization Desktop
0.0.20 June 4, 2026

Local CLI picker selection fix.

  • Fixes the Local CLI menu so selecting Grok CLI, Codex CLI, Claude Code, Pi, or Antigravity reliably updates the active desktop runtime instead of collapsing back to the previous agent.
  • Uses delegated menu handling so refreshed local-agent rows keep their click behavior during readiness rescans.
  • Opens and preserves setup instructions when the newly selected local CLI is missing or blocked, including Grok CLI install/auth guidance.
  • Adds regression coverage for refreshed Local CLI menu rows, rebinding safety, persisted runtime selection, and setup-popover visibility.
  • Ships signed and notarized macOS Apple Silicon DMG plus Tauri updater artifacts for 0.0.20.
Local CLI Agent picker Setup Desktop Updater
0.0.19 June 4, 2026

Local CLI agent selection patch.

  • Improves desktop local CLI discovery for users with custom npm, pnpm, Bun, Volta, asdf, mise, nvm, or fnm install roots.
  • Keeps selected Codex, Claude, Pi, Antigravity, and Grok agents discoverable when the macOS desktop app launches with a narrower GUI PATH than the user's terminal.
  • Retries Grok CLI startup in headless streaming mode when the ACP initialize/session path fails, while preserving normal cancellation behavior.
  • Adds focused regression coverage for local CLI path discovery, fake-machine test isolation, and Grok fallback decisions.
  • Ships signed and notarized macOS Apple Silicon DMG plus Tauri updater artifacts for 0.0.19.
Local CLI Grok CLI Codex Desktop Updater
0.0.18 June 3, 2026

Japanese and Mandarin desktop localization.

  • Adds desktop UI localization for English, Japanese, and Mandarin across shell navigation, settings, Ask, Wiki, source evidence, terminal, updater, and runtime status copy.
  • Detects supported system/browser locales on first launch and persists the selected app language from Settings.
  • Keeps app UI language separate from generated wiki output language, so existing BYOC/BYOK generation flows remain unchanged.
  • Fixes a desktop React dependency mismatch that could trigger invalid hook call errors at startup.
  • Restores Pi local-agent logo assets in public web builds and ships signed/notarized macOS DMG plus updater artifacts.
Localization Japanese Mandarin Desktop Updater
0.0.17 June 2, 2026

Docs Chat, public docs polish, and safer release boundaries.

  • Adds an in-place Docs Chat overlay that keeps answers on the documentation page and supports follow-up or new questions without sending users to the Ask workspace.
  • Prioritizes the current documentation MDX before repository inspection, with the full generated docs artifact available as fallback context.
  • Preserves the selected local CLI agent and model for documentation questions instead of allowing Ask polling to reset the runtime selection.
  • Improves Docs Chat typing and streaming responsiveness by keeping high-frequency answer updates scoped to the chat panel.
  • Fixes generated docs rendering across desktop and public docs, including tabs, light-mode highlights, Python syntax highlighting, Mermaid diagrams, and hover copy controls for code blocks.
  • Adds public docs video thumbnail metadata so indexed video pages have a thumbnail URL for Google Search Console.
  • Strengthens the release runbook around the public GitHub boundary: public main and release tags must contain only README.md and skills/.
  • Ships signed and notarized macOS Apple Silicon DMG plus Tauri updater artifacts for 0.0.17.
Docs Chat Public docs Rendering Release safety
0.0.16 June 1, 2026

Grok Docs and agent-ready public documentation.

  • Adds a dedicated docs workspace and reader with documentation navigation, a page rail, docs-specific formatting, and a static Documentation format selection for docs runs.
  • Adds public documentation publishing under /public/docs, including canonical docs pages, gallery routing, public Open Graph metadata, sitemap coverage, and robots coverage.
  • Adds docs-aware agent-readable routes: llms.txt, llms-full.txt, .md, and per-page markdown paths for compact and full-context agent consumption.
  • Adds the Add Agent handoff prompt for public docs and public wikis, copying a provider-agnostic prompt that tells the user's chosen agent to read the compact index first and fetch full context only when needed.
  • Improves the documentation generator contract with docs-specific structure planning, required frontmatter, planned-route link checks, Grok Docs MDX component guidance, and safeguards against visible source-citation clutter inside docs bodies.
  • Expands the markdown renderer with documentation components such as cards, steps, tabs, code groups, parameter fields, endpoint frames, update timelines, file trees, tables, diagrams, and code blocks.
  • Improves docs and wiki reader stability so generation streams, page-agent progress, markdown rendering, diagram zoom, source previews, and public publishing controls update their owning surfaces without repainting the desktop shell.
  • Adds bundled Grok-Wiki agent skills and local-first source/runtime documentation for BYOK, BYOC, and vendor-agnostic agent workflows.
  • Ships signed and notarized macOS Apple Silicon DMG plus Tauri updater artifacts for 0.0.16.
