v1.1.8 is out, and it's centered around two things: a new way to work with files in AI conversations, and a big pass on rendering performance for canvas and UI elements.
✨ AI Can Now Use Your Files
You can now bring files directly into your AI conversations — the AI reads and works with the file content as part of the chat, so you can ask questions or get help based on what's inside, without extra steps.
For example, once you have an image and a multimodal model configured, you can use it to recreate that image — a simple way to see the new file support in action.
⚡ Faster Rendering, Fewer Lag Spikes
A large chunk of this release went into making element rendering smoother, especially in the canvas and whiteboard:
- Smoother canvas zoom/pan on macOS
- Batched message rendering in AI chat, cutting down on flicker/lag with long responses
- Better whiteboard element offset handling for more accurate positioning
- Optimized dialog rendering (sizing/layout) across the app
Wrapping Up
With native file support in AI chat and a much snappier rendering pipeline, v1.1.8 should feel noticeably more responsive day to day.
Feedback and bug reports are always welcome!
