Jan v0.8.8: security fixes, llama.cpp 0.7.0, and Trusted Hosts for the local API A security update to v0.8.7. We recommend updating. Your data and settings carry over; a few behaviours change, listed under What you might notice. Security Links in chat open in your browser.

Jan v0.8.7: shell switch, image size limit, and fixes A minor update to v0.8.6. Your data and settings carry over; one MCP clean-up runs on first launch (below). New Turn the shell tool off in chat.

Jan v0.8.6: hotfix for v0.8.5 Fixes only. If you're on 0.8.5, updating is recommended, especially on Linux (AppImage) and on older NVIDIA GPUs. Fixes Linux AppImage crashed on every model load on some distributions (#9173, fixed in #9178). The AppImage bundled the build machine's Vulkan loader. It now uses your system's loader, and the build fails if a GPU loader is ever bundled again. NVIDIA Turi…
This release is fixes only No new features are announced in v0.8.5. Work in progress stays in the nightly channel: Cowork and the current agent work ship there until they are announced, and a stable build does not show them. One thing a first launch will notice: the first-run setup is now a guided wizard - welcome, engine setup, a first model, and the consent page - instead of opening straight int…
Migration Settings and credentials now live in a backend-managed store. Provider settings and credentials previously persisted in the webview's localStorage. In 0.8.4, Jan reads and writes them from a backend-managed store instead (secrets go to the OS keyring). Your existing settings and API keys are copied over automatically on first launch - no manual action is needed, and from this version on…
