# Foxora 5.0.4

Foxora 5.0.4 is the current desktop generation. The desktop release was published on August 5, 2026. It is the reliability release: the autonomous crew got a spine, and you got a choice about when to use it.

## Current versions

Surfaces ship on their own cadence, so these numbers are deliberately not all the same.

| Surface | Version | Availability |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Desktop | 5.0.4 | Universal and Apple Silicon macOS DMGs, Windows x64 installer |
| CLI | 5.0.3 | macOS, Linux (gnu and musl), and Windows x64 |
| Runtime | 5.0.0 | Provisioned by the installers |
| Web app | Continuous | `https://app.foxora.ai` |
| Cloud engine | Continuous | `https://engine.foxora.ai` |
| Daytona workspace image | `foxora-base-v2` | New and lifecycle-recreated cloud workspaces |

## New

- **Crew or Single model — your call, per task.** The composer's picker is a two-lane switch. **Crew** runs the autonomous multi-agent engine, which plans, delegates to specialists, and verifies its own work. **Single model** runs one model from your connected providers with no crew, no delegation, and no credits — you pay your provider directly.
- **Agent notifications that hold.** When a long-running agent finishes or needs you, it lands in the Notification Center, durable across restarts and synced across your devices. Urgent ones also raise an OS banner.
- **Source Control follows the active project.** The panel resolves the active project's working directory, including isolated worktrees, instead of a stale workspace root.
- **The System tab tells the whole truth**: the live engine release, every component version, and connection tiles that say "Unreachable" only when something is genuinely unreachable.

## Improved

- Crew runs route work to the right specialists — visual work goes through the designer with a rendered-output review, and the completion judge holds the quality line.
- Steering mid-run is immediate and survives reloads. Damaged sessions heal their history instead of losing your prompt.
- Sidebar run indicators are steady across the fleet rather than flapping between running and idle.
- The Notification Center coalesces repeats into one truthful card per event.
- Memory stops double-writing: one durable fact per insight, and old duplicates sweep themselves out as you work.

## Fixed

- **Task history stays put.** Assistant replies and tool activity are written durably every turn, so reopening a task shows the whole conversation rather than only the prompts you typed. Writes survive a device reconnect instead of being dropped while the socket is down.
- **Voice calls are calls again.** The agent answers out loud and keeps the conversation; only real work is handed to the crew, and the finished answer is spoken back. Speaking no longer files your words as a task.
- **Memory search works on desktop.** Embeddings are stored and ranked locally again.
- Session task-state errors no longer masquerade as connection problems.
- Notification taps navigate, and never silently approve anything.
- Auto mode decides, states the choice, and moves on instead of interrogating you.
- A task's selected crew or single model sticks instead of reverting to the default crew on the next poll.

## Known limitation

With the cloud engine — the desktop default — git runs where the engine runs, so a local repository reads as "not a git repository". Source Control is accurate today only with a local engine. Routing git to your machine is the next release.

## Download

- [Download Foxora 5.0.4](https://foxora.ai/download)
- [Read the signed release on GitHub](https://github.com/foxora-ai/releases/releases/tag/desktop-v5.0.4)

macOS ships two notarized images: `Foxora_5.0.4_universal.dmg` runs on Apple Silicon and Intel, and `Foxora_5.0.4_AppleSilicon.dmg` is about half the size but Apple Silicon only. Windows users download `Foxora_5.0.4_x64-setup.exe`; SmartScreen may still show an unrecognized-publisher warning while publisher reputation is established.

Already on macOS? Install or update in place with one command:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://foxora.ai/install.sh | sh -s -- --update
```

It verifies the download's checksum and signature, and refuses to install anything that does not match.

## Cloud workspace transition

Foxora does not delete active user workspaces merely to replace their base image. Existing Daytona v1 workspaces remain available and move to v2 when the normal backup-and-recreation lifecycle applies. New or recreated workspaces use v2 immediately.

## Upgrade verification

1. Open **Settings → About** or run `foxora --version`.
2. Install the signed update and restart the client.
3. Confirm the displayed version is 5.0.4.
4. Complete a small session and workspace task.
5. If you use cloud execution, confirm the workspace starts or resumes and a simple command succeeds.

No manual data migration is required for a normal 5.0.3-to-5.0.4 desktop update.
