Product release notes with the important details behind each version.

v1.5

v1.5 - THE GREAT RESET Update

Two big things: the AI moved up to the newest Gemini models, and monthly token resets now actually happen every month (they, uh, did not before). As compensation, everyone's monthly usage has been reset to zero — fresh full month of tokens for all.

Improvements
  • Flash chats now run on Gemini 3.5 Flash — the current stable release, faster and noticeably better at code than the old Gemini 3 preview
  • Gemini 3.1 Pro stays as the Pro model — still the newest Pro that Google ships
  • Chat titles are now generated with Flash instead of quietly sipping your Pro tokens
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed monthly token limits not resetting. The reset only ever ran for paid subscribers when Stripe billed them — free-tier usage never reset at all. Your cycle now rolls over automatically the moment you use the site after a new month starts
  • One-time compensation: everyone's monthly usage counters were reset to zero with this update (purchased top-up tokens untouched)
v1.4

v1.4 - EPIC UI Update

A two-day UI overhaul. The dashboard + sidebar got an editorial-flat refresh first — then the entire chat page followed: a new single-row composer, a unified model picker, cleaner message bubbles + Studio modal, and an empty state stripped of generic-template noise. Light and dark modes tightened across both.

Features
  • Sidebar workspace switcher: switch projects/workspaces right from the left nav
  • One-click attach in chat: pick images + code/text files in a single OS dialog (no more two-click popover)
Improvements
  • Full dashboard + sidebar visual refresh with an editorial-flat aesthetic
  • Workspace switcher contrast is brighter and easier to read in dark mode
  • Token usage micro-labels and UI text are now more consistent across themes
  • General dashboard polish: spacing, typography, and small interaction tweaks
  • Brand-new single-row chat composer — `+` · Build/Plan · textarea · model · send, all on one level (was four stacked rows)
  • Empty state cards stripped of coloured icon squares, redesigned as a quieter typographic index
  • Unified model picker: built-in + OpenRouter in one anchored panel, free tier sees the locked OpenRouter section so the upgrade path is visible
  • OpenRouter browse moved in-place — search + filter 200+ models without a fullscreen modal taking over the screen
  • Inner chat toolbar simplified to just Studio status + Explorer; the model selector lives in the composer now
  • Studio Connect modal repolished — serif step numerals, receipt-style session code, quieter waiting state
  • Message bubbles softened — rounder corners, lighter AI surface, more padded user pills
  • Workspace Explorer header gets the uppercase-tracking treatment used across the rest of the dashboard
Bug Fixes
  • Dark-mode label readability pass for key dashboard elements
  • Fixed the breadcrumb reverting to "Dashboard" the moment you opened a real chat (it was matching `/chat` exactly instead of any /chat path)
v1.3

v1.3 - INCOMPREHENSIBELY LARGE Update

Reliability, planning, and Studio sync improvements focused on keeping real projects safe when Studio + web drafts are both involved.

Features
  • Plan Mode in chat: inspect files, search the project, check Roblox docs, then produce one clean proposed plan
  • Approve + Build flow: the plan becomes the implementation brief
  • Offline draft workflow for create/edit/delete/rename so work can be saved first and pushed to Studio later
  • Conflict resolution so web drafts and Studio copies don't stomp each other
  • Real Studio Instances: the agent can create/update/rename/delete persistent Roblox objects for real Studio Explorer syncing
  • Studio Explorer in chat mirrors the real Roblox tree (including nested children) and flags outdated Studio plugins
Improvements
  • Safer Studio plugin sessions (per-connection secret)
  • More reliable command delivery (leases, retries, and explicit acknowledgements)
  • Initial sync now compares place files so mismatches won't overwrite web work
  • Studio Explorer stays fresh with background refresh + Supabase realtime updates
  • Studio edits/deletes now propagate quickly through `workspace_files` realtime replication
  • listFiles includes each item's Roblox class so the agent picks the right edit tool
  • editFile resolves types from recorded instance data first, with fewer wrong-class edits
  • deleteFile is safer (reads the existing row first) and supports Studio items beyond scripts
  • Build checkpoints include create/edit/delete/rename operations
  • Build health tightened: TypeScript + lint are enforced during builds
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed the scary reconnect case where a place mismatch could overwrite/delete saved web work
  • Offline deletes/renames now produce correct tombstones and sync safely after reconnect
  • Plugin delete/search no longer creates folders when files are missing
  • Cleaned up stale UI state while switching projects and fixed Stripe/Supabase import issues
v1.2

v1.2 - ENORMOUS Update

A dashboard, usage, changelog, model, and Studio sync update focused on making StudByStud feel clearer and more connected.

Features
  • New file explorer view in chat so you can inspect project scripts directly inside StudByStud.
  • Expanded AI usage view with monthly Flash/Pro usage, top-up usage, remaining tokens, and reset timing.

Improvements
  • Upgraded public-facing Pro model wording to Gemini 3.1 Pro while keeping internal model compatibility stable.
  • Full dark mode polish pass across public and dashboard surfaces.

  • Added a collapsible Welcome to StudByStud dashboard section with a saved preference.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed token top-up and usage copy inconsistencies.

  • Fixed the chat Files panel clipping file labels on the right side.
