Release notesUpdated 2026-08-11

0.8.3 Agatha King

  • Restored local voice recognition after transient runtime-feature failures and reacquired the microphone only when recognition becomes enabled.
  • Replaced the protocols-page video with the landing replay player, including synchronised hand overlays, timecodes and colour controls.
  • Added a Robotics ready landing replay with recorded Quest motion retargeted to Allegro, Shadow, LEAP and SCHUNK embodiments, backed by checked replay artefacts and release validation.
  • Made managed Hugging Face delivery the Solo default while retaining explicit local-folder export.
  • Added a verified frontend-only release path that reuses integrity-checked Wasm assets without weakening capture, recorder, exporter or server gates.

0.8.2 Agatha King

  • Added an explicit Finish action for successful demonstrator and Solo completion while retaining Stop for capture director and safety interruptions.
  • Made Solo local export destinations explicit, resumable and bound to the originally selected writable folder.
  • Added privacy-preserving recorder, run, XR and recording-quality telemetry with durable cross-tab deduplication.
  • Aligned landing replay hands with persisted capture calibration and the exact composed camera frame.
  • Prevented concurrent landing replay mounts from leaving a replay indefinitely in its loading state.
  • Expanded the dataset viewer guide across playback, overlays, signals, diagnostics, copying and editing.
  • Reorganised the user guide around Solo-first capture and added generated, versioned headset HUD diagrams.

0.8.1 Agatha King

  • Added independently playing, repetition-bounded previews from public CERES datasets, with aligned RGB, task timing and hand telemetry.
  • Improved capture-quality inspection in dataset previews with positional smoothing, short-gap interpolation, fading inferred hand meshes, depth, side and velocity colour modes and bounded dashed future ribbons.
  • Made microphone recording an explicit opt-in, separate from audio cues, in paired and Solo capture.
  • Made repeated headset entry and retry more dependable by preventing duplicate XR launches.
  • Improved export reliability for short recordings so aligned video stays on the fast browser path when possible.
  • Added privacy-safe reliability telemetry to help diagnose capture, recorder finalisation and export failures without including recorded research data.
  • Added clearer About, protocol catalogue and user-guide pages, with privacy and consent guidance and a ready-to-copy software citation.

0.8.0 Agatha King

  • Made Solo capture dependable as a complete headset workflow, with local voice commands, audio cues, account sign-in and persistent upload feedback.
  • Added resumable background Hugging Face uploads, recovery controls and non-destructive managed dataset cards.
  • Made append uploads continue from the latest repository episode and global frame index instead of repeatedly writing episode 000000.
  • Accelerated video export by remuxing aligned AVC recordings and preferring hardware WebCodecs while retaining a bounded low-memory fallback.
  • Hardened recorder finalisation, retry replacement, task provenance and episode integrity across reconnect, recovery and explicit Stop paths.
  • Refined the XR startup, task HUD and post-capture workflow, including task and repetition context beside the pause marker.
  • Added privacy-safe export diagnostics, release build identity and verified Vercel candidate promotion.
  • Expanded the public workflow, role guides, consent guidance, privacy documentation and browser dataset viewer integration.

0.6.0 Canterbury

  • Added Solo capture with local and Hugging Face destinations.
  • Added clear capture progress for storage writing, reading, hashing, upload and commit.
  • Moved account-backed finalisation and recovery out of the capture workflow so the run editor remains usable.
  • Added resume and abort controls for unfinished captures and recovered uploads.
  • Made retries replace failed attempts rather than retaining them as completed repetitions.
  • Added the browser dataset viewer with aligned video, pose, task timelines and three-dimensional inspection.
  • Added this user guide. Its Markdown source and generated browser content are versioned together for each release.
