Release notes

Local Hoist v0.0.26

April 15, 2026

v0.0.26 makes image-heavy chats more resilient, improves a few important tool and sign-in workflows, and adds third-party open source license attribution accessible from the app. This release adds automatic fallback for models that cannot accept image input, improves multi-path file search feedback, and fixes a device-verification sign-in issue on newly recognized devices.

Improved

  • Improved image-heavy chats by automatically falling back to temporary image-to-text conversion when the selected model cannot accept image input, so requests can keep going instead of failing immediately.
  • Improved image recovery and compression behavior so automatic image reduction follows the normal compression thresholds more consistently and avoids misleading no-op compression messages.
  • Improved search_files so it can search across multiple files or folders in one request and gives clearer feedback when requested paths are missing.

Fixed

  • Fixed a sign-in issue where some newly recognized devices could require an emailed verification code but fail to keep the code-entry prompt visible in the app.
  • Fixed a few streaming and retry edge cases so empty or failed model responses surface as clearer errors instead of appearing to finish silently.

New

  • Added third-party open source license notices accessible from Help > Open Source Licenses, including full license texts for all bundled dependencies.
