# Hermes Desktop v0.7.0
2+
3+
`v0.7.0` is a release about staying close to upstream Hermes while making the
4+
desktop workspace feel more deliberate.
5+
6+
Since `v0.6.1`, the biggest change is the Kanban upgrade: Hermes Desktop now
7+
understands the newer upstream board model, while keeping the same host-first
8+
SSH design. The default board still lives at `~/.hermes/kanban.db`, and newer
9+
Hermes Agent builds can expose additional boards under the host-wide Kanban
10+
home.
11+
12+
This release also adds a small but useful app update check, refreshes the
13+
README preview gallery, and gives the embedded terminal a more polished set of
14+
appearance controls.
15+
16+
## Highlights
17+
18+
- upstream Kanban board management, including board selection, board creation,
19+
board archive, and fallback behavior for hosts that only expose the default
20+
`~/.hermes/kanban.db` board
21+
- richer Kanban task operations over SSH: task creation, search, filters,
22+
assignment, comments, block, unblock, complete, archive, delete, run history,
23+
event history, worker log tailing, and dispatcher nudging when the host
24+
supports it
25+
- Kanban compatibility checks that clearly tell users when a newer Hermes Agent
26+
build is needed for multiple boards or home-channel subscriptions
27+
- terminal appearance polish with six stable presets, custom background and
28+
text color tuning, and anchored ANSI palettes so prompts, git output, and
29+
command-line tools stay readable
30+
- built-in Hermes Desktop update checks against GitHub Releases, with automatic
31+
checks limited to the app itself and manual checks available from the Hermes
32+
menu
33+
- refreshed README preview gallery with six current screenshots: Sessions,
34+
Kanban, Files, Usage, Skills, and Terminal
35+
- documentation updates that describe the host-wide Kanban home, app-only update
36+
checks, and the `0.7.0` release packaging path
37+
- continued localization coverage for English, Simplified Chinese, and Russian
38+
strings touched by this release
39+
40+
## Compatibility
41+
42+
- Multiple Kanban boards require a Hermes Agent build with the newer upstream
43+
board APIs.
44+
- Hosts with only the default upstream Kanban database still use
45+
`~/.hermes/kanban.db`.
46+
- The update checker checks Hermes Desktop releases only. It does not update
47+
Hermes Agent on the host and does not send host, profile, file, session, or
48+
Kanban content to GitHub.
49+
50+
## Still True
51+
52+
- Hermes Desktop still connects directly over SSH.
53+
- The Hermes host remains the source of truth.
54+
- There is no desktop gateway API, remote helper daemon, local mirror, or shadow
55+
sync layer.
56+
- Kanban, sessions, cron jobs, files, skills, usage, and terminal work stay
57+
anchored to the selected host.
58+
- The app continues to favor a native Mac surface for the real Hermes workflow
59+
over a second transport model.
60+
61+
## Notes
62+
63+
- universal macOS build for Apple Silicon and Intel
64+
- open source
65+
- ad-hoc signed and not notarized yet, so first launch may still require
66+
right-click -> Open / Open Anyway
67+
- release archive: `HermesDesktop.app.zip`
68+
- checksum: `HermesDesktop.app.zip.sha256`
