Release history

  1. Native pet runtime and controlled AI connections

    Added
    • A first-run guide explains what Pipipong can do, how AI execution is connected, and when macOS permissions are requested.
    • The desktop Pet Library can locally import complete PPAS 0.9.5 .pppet packages and run their declared actions, clips, triggers, effects, sounds and permission review.
    • AI Connections adds destination-bound setup for Codex and configured API providers, plus a controlled connector framework for browser and desktop AI targets without reading browser cookies or account tokens. No specific third-party browser or desktop AI client has been verified in this release.
    Changed
    • Configured API providers continue to use the bounded Pip Agent Runtime, attachment consent, permission checks, file transactions, Diff, optional Snapshot and Undo controls; the browser and desktop connector framework implements the same local authority boundary.
    • Connector capability evidence and authorization are bound to the exact AI destination. Unverified or unsupported browser and desktop targets remain disabled instead of receiving local tool authority.
    • The app keeps its compact desktop-pet surface while moving setup, appearance, AI connections and advanced controls into Settings.
    Fixed
    • Packaged-app verification now checks the shipped bridge components, permission boundaries, PPAS runtime lifecycle and isolated virtual-input smoke paths against the release build.
    Known limitations
    • This build remains a controlled technical preview rather than a production-stable release, and the installed app is still named Voice Router Pet.
    • Native .pppet import is included, but community pet-package downloads remain closed until package compatibility and publisher-trust controls complete their rollout; public previews do not expose package URLs.
    • No specific third-party browser or desktop AI client has been verified for this release. Those paths require explicit in-app authorization and a verified destination profile, and unverified targets remain disabled. An AI client never receives direct filesystem authority.
    • Windows remains in development, with no public test or release date announced.
  2. Signed and notarized macOS technical preview

    Added
    • Direct, free access for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later, with no account, application, or invitation required.
    • A downloadable macOS disk image with published file size and SHA-256 verification details.
    Changed
    • The public macOS package is distributed as a DMG instead of the earlier preview ZIP.
    • Installation now follows the standard Mac flow: open the DMG, move Voice Router Pet to Applications, eject the image, then launch the app.
    • The website now provides bilingual Pet Community browsing for eight official animal and human companions and an official creator profile without requiring an account.
    • Official pet package binaries were removed from public permanent URLs. Enabled community downloads now use verified-email accounts, private storage, short-lived one-time tickets, and personal libraries.
    • PPAS Studio is now presented as local-only: package parsing, validation, preview, and report export remain available, while hosted drafts, uploads, review, and publishing are closed.
    Fixed
    • The distribution package is Developer ID-signed, Apple-notarized, and accepted by standard Gatekeeper verification.
    Known limitations
    • This build remains a technical preview rather than a production-stable release, and the installed app is still named Voice Router Pet.
    • Native .pppet import is not included in the currently published notarized DMG. It remains release pending; the public Starter Pack, PPAS specification, and local-only web Studio are creator references, not downloadable installable pet packages.
    • Windows remains in development, with no public test or release date announced.
    • Community sign-in, favourites, reports, one-time pet-package downloads and account notifications are available as a controlled beta; creator uploads, submissions, human review and publishing remain closed.
