Berd 0.6.1 improves queued messaging, long-chat reliability, agent cards, and the Home experience, alongside smoother installation and updates.
- Reliable queued messages: Follow-ups now send automatically when an agent is ready, even after you navigate away. Messages also wait for new chats to finish starting before sending.
- Cleaner chat controls: Normal sends no longer briefly flash a queued indicator. While an agent is working, pressing
Enterwith an empty composer steers the first queued message. - Safer transcript refreshes: Long, tool-heavy chats retain accurate scrolling and visible history. If reloading or compaction returns incomplete data, Berd preserves the existing transcript and shows a recoverable error.
- Improved agent cards: Shared and imported agents now use a consistent collectible-card design with avatar-aware colors, motion, and more dependable PNG exports. Agent cards also show their actual descriptions, which can now be edited during manual setup.
- Polished Home canvas: New Home layouts use better-sized widgets and a more balanced starting view, with smoother project cube and avatar movement. Existing layouts and user edits remain preserved.
- Refined chat context rail: Cards, menus, dropdowns, and selected states are clearer and more consistent across light and dark modes.
- Better Windows link launching: Berd now opens links directly in Chrome when available, with a reliable fallback to the default browser.
- Improved macOS installation: The installer has refreshed Berd artwork, and the latest macOS installer is now available through a permanent download link.
- More reliable updates: Release metadata compatibility fixes help older Berd versions install future desktop updates without false verification failures.

The Windows NSIS installer and Linux packages lack platform-native code signatures; their updater archives remain minisign-authenticated.
