Changelog

Version 0.80.0 - October 22, 2026

Improvements

• Enhanced run diagnostics across Autoworklet by recording error origin details directly onto run documents for failed executions.
• Improved script parsing and remote host execution reliability through AST-based callback resolution.

Fixes

• Resolved selector parsing edge cases involving escaped quotes, apostrophes, and quoted parentheses in pseudo-class arguments.
• Fixed selector evaluation to ensure empty quoted queries match nothing and pseudo-class arguments integrate properly with natural language fallbacks.
• Corrected error classification in Autoworklet sandboxes to clearly distinguish between internal engine failures and script-level errors.
• Prevented recorder configuration failures by falling back to default values when unexpected JSON types are encountered in recorder.json.
• Fixed wait backoff behavior to only engage when every verification check observes an unchanged screen state.
• Resolved an issue in the chat interface where cards failed to display inline after headless writing concluded.

Version 0.79.4 - October 20, 2026

Improvements

• Improved application launch speed by displaying the editor interface before recognition models finish loading.
• Enhanced shutdown responsiveness in Autoworklet by allowing the application to close without waiting for background library synchronization queries to complete.

Fixes

• Resolved an issue in Visual Teacher to ensure step bounding box coordinates are correctly read and processed.
• Corrected offloaded detection outputs to consistently return detection results as arrays matching local detection behavior.

• Eliminated sensitive authentication token entries from client-side GUI login logs.
• Resolved an issue to ensure native host browser processes launch cleanly on frozen application bundles.
• Prevented application hangs on exit by properly terminating socket connections and background library sync tasks prior to window destruction.

Version 0.79.1 - October 18, 2026

Fixes

• Fixed an issue in the Autoworklet runner where accessing type(e) within a worklet exception handler mistakenly referenced the typing primitive instead of Python's built-in type function.

Version 0.79.0 - October 18, 2026

Improvements

• Enhanced Autoworklet locator performance by caching candidate embeddings across unchanged frames and prioritizing exact crops.
• Optimized vision-based matching by selectively embedding overlap pairs only when text matching is inconclusive and training locator vision only on misses.
• Added a dedicated Rust ONNX runtime helper in Linux containers for MoCo with support for full-FP32 model manifests.

Fixes

• Resolved an issue in the Autoworklet CLI where agent scripts did not execute from the caller's working directory.
• Fixed Chrome CDP connection handling to cleanly stop waiting when the browser process exits unexpectedly.
• Ensured storage download, URL generation, and deletion requests explicitly reject folder paths.
• Fixed storage upload destination path normalization to properly handle trailing slashes, omitted destinations with query parameters, and empty targets.
• Corrected storage file listing behavior for root paths and folder direct child filtering.
• Ensured Linux container stability by retaining in-process ONNX execution where required for MoCo.

Version 0.78.16 - October 17, 2026

Fixes

• Resolved an issue in Autoworklet Docker containers where data directory pruning failed on Python 3.11.

Version 0.78.15 - October 17, 2026

Improvements

• Added the ability to immediately stop active replays using the Autoworklet system tray hotkey.
• Added support for viewing and restoring previously removed replay events in the recorder.
• Enabled speech synthesis through the Autoworklet proxy with automatic fallbacks when no sound output device is detected.
• Optimized CLI frame streaming and worker data transfers to process large responses in linear time.
• Reduced CPU and resource overhead by preventing ONNX Runtime worker spinning and limiting background inference threads in sandboxes.
• Improved database connection efficiency across services by reusing client instances instead of recreating them per request.

Fixes

• Prevented conflicting Autoworklet GUI instances and ensured application state is preserved when scheduled-run windows close.
• Fixed replay interruption handling so replays halt immediately during countdowns, pre-flight checks, and screen settling periods.
• Corrected event timestamping and click frame alignment to accurately reflect recorded interactions.
• Enhanced recorder input tracking to reliably separate individual clicks from drag gestures.
• Fixed chat message and card delivery ordering during headless and scheduled automation runs.
• Resolved browser launch issues in containerized environments by dynamically adjusting Chrome shared memory and sandbox configurations.
• Enforced target path containment during archive extractions in CLI commands to prevent path traversal.
• Improved error reporting for headless runs, disabled service calls, and missing API credentials.

Version 0.78.14 - October 13, 2026

Improvements

• Added resource management for Autoworklet Docker sandboxes, including configurable CPU and memory caps.
• Introduced sandbox pruning via 'awl --target docker prune' along with automated sweeping of stale containers across environments.
• Optimized conditional wait evaluations to halt redundant browser actions, input checks, and model evaluations as soon as a condition is met.
• Improved macOS daemon execution performance by lifting single-thread pinning restrictions on PyTorch and OpenMP.
• Added connection-aware idle detection to prevent premature daemon shutdowns during active sessions.
• Enhanced the Autoworklet Record Viewer with millisecond-level precision for replay and clipping ranges.

Fixes

• Resolved deadlocks during parallel wait checks on Linux by synchronizing PyAutoGUI X11 calls under a shared lock.
• Ensured held keyboard and mouse inputs are safely released if a wait check is interrupted mid-sequence.
• Corrected Autoworklet CLI behavior to exit with code 1 when 'exists' or 'exists-text' queries find no match.
• Fixed path resolution and retrieval for local and remote HTML and JSON run reports, including on run failures.
• Prevented incomplete or truncated model downloads from being loaded and added automatic re-downloading for affected files.
• Fixed Autoworklet Recorder Settings to accurately display active values and only save modified configuration fields.
• Ensured the recorder development server shuts down cleanly upon quitting from the system tray.
• Prevented Docker sandbox port collisions and isolated container lifecycle management across distinct AWL_HOME directories.
• Corrected daemon idle timer tracking so it begins counting when the server starts accepting requests rather than at import.
• Removed outdated urllib3 version pins to improve package compatibility.

Version 0.78.13 - October 13, 2026

Improvements

• Enhanced Autoworklet CLI stability by launching the local daemon as an independent process rather than forking the running command.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue in the Autoworklet browser extension where load-state polling prematurely halted during page navigations with temporarily missing execution contexts.
• Resolved an issue in the Autoworklet CLI where remote execution reports (--report JSON) failed to copy back to the local host path.
• Corrected Autoworklet API behavior to ensure wait_for_any and wait_for_all fully await active in-flight checks before returning.

Version 0.78.12 - October 12, 2026

Improvements

• Enhanced the Autoworklet browser agent to observe snapshot references alongside visible text and execute actions directly by reference.
• Introduced a read-only agent fallback for retained canary checks to maintain continuity instead of halting runs abruptly.

Fixes

• Hardened daemon startup in the Autoworklet CLI to verify responsiveness, detect terminated child processes, and handle stale lock files and disk tokens reliably.
• Resolved model download and integrity issues by preventing partial RF-DETR model files from loading, eliminating download race conditions, and automatically redownloading corrupted files.
• Guaranteed atomic writes for streaming downloads and updates to avoid partial file saves.
• Standardized return types and text extraction across browser automation APIs, including script execution and content scraping endpoints.
• Corrected LLM usage metering to accurately attribute model consumption across healing routines, report generation, and daemon background processes.
• Improved boot validation to properly fail worklet runs with missing documents or empty and whitespace-only URLs.
• Updated Autoworklet dashboard dependencies to patched versions for enhanced security.
