For canonical full release notes, use:

• CHANGELOG.md

0.6.10#

• Synced native hook pinning and regenerated bindings through leehack/llamadart-native@b8638.
• Hardened multimodal prompt overflow handling so native failures surface as Dart exceptions, and reduced staged chat-app image size to a 384px max edge to lower multimodal context pressure.
• Added built-in Gemma 4 template detection/render/parse support, including thinking and tool-call handling.
• Added runtime projector capability gating so multimodal flows and the chat app respect actual supportsVision / supportsAudio results instead of model-family assumptions.
• Compatibility note: no public API breaking changes in 0.6.10.

0.6.9#

• Documented that iOS builds require a minimum deployment target of 16.4 or newer across the README, docs site, and example docs.
• Updated example/chat_app iOS Podfile and Runner project settings to use deployment target 16.4.
• Honored ggml_backend_score during Android asset-based backend fallback so unsupported CPU variant libraries are skipped before initialization.
• Changed Android auto backend resolution to prefer CPU by default while keeping Vulkan available for explicit opt-in.
• Clarified that changing hooks.user_defines requires flutter clean && flutter pub get before rebuilding.
• Compatibility note: no public API breaking changes in 0.6.9.

0.6.8#

• Synced native hook pinning and regenerated bindings to leehack/llamadart-native@b8480.
• Refreshed generated low-level FFI bindings to match the synced upstream headers.
• Compatibility note: no public API breaking changes in 0.6.8.

0.6.7#

• Synced native hook pinning and regenerated bindings to leehack/llamadart-native@b8373.
• Hardened Linux bundle loading for packaged apps and improved versioned libllamadart dependency resolution.
• Fixed Hermes tool-call parsing when whitespace appears between <tool_call> and the JSON payload.
• Compatibility note: no public API breaking changes in 0.6.7.

0.6.6#

• Synced native hook pin to leehack/llamadart-native@b8216.
• Updated default web bridge asset pinning to leehack/llama-web-bridge-assets@v0.1.10 (llama.cpp b8216).
• Switched bundled Qwen3.5 example presets to Unsloth Q4_K_M GGUFs.
• Added native perf diagnostics chips in the chat app (p_eval, eval, sample, reuse) and Android-specific Qwen tuning guidance.
• Restored a targeted Android Vulkan fast path for local Qwen3.5 0.8B / 2B / 4B models while keeping CPU as the recommended Android preset for 0.8B / 2B.
• Fixed local web chat app bridge/runtime handling for Qwen prompt streaming and multimodal fallback behavior.
• Compatibility note: no public API breaking changes in 0.6.6.

0.6.5#

• Added embedding APIs: LlamaEngine.embed(...) and LlamaEngine.embedBatch(...).
• Added backend embedding capability interfaces for custom backend implementations.
• Added multi-sequence embedding batching support via ModelParams.maxParallelSequences (n_seq_max).
• Added native embedding benchmark tooling: tool/testing/native_embedding_benchmark.dart and tool/testing/native_embedding_sweep.dart.
• Added website docs for embeddings and updated basic-app docs with embedding examples.
• Added a Basic App SQLite vector retrieval example using bin/llamadart_sqlite_vector_example.dart.
• Updated default WebGPU bridge asset pinning to leehack/llama-web-bridge-assets@v0.1.8.
• Improved WebGPU runtime stability/tuning in chat app flows (backend switching, streaming smoothness, and multimodal regression gating).
• Added GPU-path multimodal image-size capping to reduce memory/runtime pressure on larger image inputs.
• Compatibility note: no public API breaking changes in 0.6.5.

0.6.4#

• Aligned multimodal projector offload with effective model-load settings, including CPU-only configurations.
• Added safer backend selection/discovery APIs and improved runtime backend status plus GPU-layer diagnostics accuracy.
• Improved web large-model handling with cache-prefetch download UX, bridge worker fallback paths, memory-pressure retries, and wasm64-core fallback wiring.
• Synced native hook tag to b8157 and added Android arm64 CPU-profile and variant policy support with loader hardening.

0.6.3#

• Synced native runtime to llama.cpp b8138 and picked up Android arm64 crash/compatibility hardening.
• Example app performance/UX polish and web model handling improvements.
• Added example/tui_coding_agent, a terminal coding agent example with default stable text-protocol tool mode.
• Added persisted settings log-level fallback handling with regression tests.

0.6.2#

• Native inference performance improvements (request overhead, stream batching, and prompt-prefix reuse with parity-safe fallback).
• Added native benchmark and prompt-reuse parity tooling, plus CI parity coverage.

0.6.1#

• Publishing compatibility fix for hook backend-config code paths.
• Continued parity hardening around template/parser behavior.

0.6.x line highlights#

• Expanded llama.cpp template and parser parity.
• Stronger handling for tool payload fidelity.
• More deterministic behavior around template routing and fallback removal.

0.5.x line highlights#

• Public API tightening and migration cleanup.
• Split Dart/native log controls.
• Example/runtime reliability improvements.
