Key additions include a native desktop app for macOS, Linux, and Windows with streaming responses, session management, and drag-and-drop file support. Remote gateway support lets the desktop app connect to a server-hosted Hermes instance via OAuth or credentials. The web dashboard is upgraded to a full admin panel covering MCP catalog, messaging channels, credentials, webhooks, and system settings. Other highlights: quick onboarding via Nouse portal, fuzzy model search with hourly catalog refresh, a /undo command to rewind agent turns, trimmed default skill set with optional installs, a new NVIDIA trusted skills tab, and messaging improvements for Telegram, Discord, Slack, and Matrix. Security hardening includes a CVE patch, SSRF hardening, and Docker safety improvements. 399 desktop issues were closed in this release window. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
