on GitHub

• Added support for importing WordPress export (WXR/.xml) files #4046
• Agentic UI: Redesigned application settings as an auto-saving fullscreen overlay with new tabs — Account, AI, MCP, Skills, Usage, Keyboard shortcuts, Studio CLI — plus a default site directory preference #4297, #4219, #4270, #4295, #4264, #4271, #4286, #4277, #4302, #4275, #4278

• Agentic UI: Improved continuity between sessions — returning to the last visited site, remembering the preview path per site — and defined the signed-out and offline experiences #4130, #4281, #4183, #4232
• Agentic UI: Separated the agentic features toggle from the classic UI switcher, and removed the theme toggle from the sidebar user menu #4312, #4263
• Agentic UI: Fixed expired previews, chat input resizing, preview button sizing, the collapsed sidebar overlapping the chat history icon, and made the WordPress version field a dropdown in site settings #4298, #4301, #4303, #4280, #4284
• Agentic UI: Brought over the Wapuu World easter egg #4299

• CLI: Added aliases for the help, version and path commands, and made studio ui work in release builds #4276, #4257
• Hardened security: fixed path injection in path comparison, ReDoS in the mu-plugins loader, and HTML sanitization in AI tool result previews; restricted local imports to registered uploads and scoped CLI preview listings to the authenticated user #4267, #4254, #4260, #4308, #4252
• Updated multiple dependencies, including Electron, Sentry, tar and shell-quote, resolving security alerts for esbuild and brace-expansion #4319, #4241, #4242, #4266, #4268, #4294
