What's new
- Scheduled Tasks — create periodic tasks from the sidebar (or manually) that run in the foreground or background while Aera is running. This is the foundation of recurring automation in Aera.
- In-place updates are fully functional — from this version onward, updating and restarting takes under a second.
- Localhost and local .html file support for development workflows.
- Massively reduced startup time, with startup race conditions around settings and chats resolved.
- Background image darkening, a Detailed New Tab layout, dark-mode scrollbars, and new global shortcuts (Ctrl + Shift + B, Ctrl + Alt + N).
- Heavily tuned system prompt for better agent persistence on long tasks.
Fixes
- Search overlay and tabs no longer overlap the bookmarks bar.
- OpenRouter API key now loads reliably on startup.
- New Tab layout handles empty states properly.
