OculiX Files

Major evolution release — visual rebrand, full multilingual typing, slimmer fat-jars, MCP server matures. Drop-in upgrade from 3.0.x.

What's new for users

• 🌏 Universal typing — write region.type("你好"), region.type("こんにちは"), region.type("привет") and it just works. ASCII path unchanged, non-ASCII routed automatically through clipboard. Asian-language and accented-Latin automation now first-class.

• 🎨 Polished IDE — full visual rebrand with dark/light theme system, Welcome tab, sidebar redesign, theme-aware console + workspace explorer. The IDE now looks and feels like a 2026 tool.

• 📦 Lighter footprint — fat-jars trimmed by ~50 MB on Linux and ~114 MB on Windows. Faster downloads, faster CI, lower bandwidth bill. Same API, same behavior.

• 🚀 CLI auto-run — launch the IDE with a script preloaded and auto-executed: java -jar oculixide.jar -l my-script.sikuli -e. Cross-platform (Linux + WSL + Windows).

• 🤖 MCP server matured — auditable visual-control server with Ed25519-signed action journal, ready for regulated environments (finance, health, defense). Plug any MCP-compatible AI agent on top of OculiX as its visual layer.

• 🦎 Build banner — every mvn / mvnd invocation greets you with the OculiX gecko. Personality at the build level. Easter egg, but also a discreet brand marker.

API, IDE, and MCP modules all available on Maven Central.

Upgrading from 3.0.x

Drop-in. No breaking API changes. Bump the version in your pom and rebuild.

Known issues / not in this release

We ship 3.0.3 knowing some things are still pending — preferring honesty over polish:

• Android device picker (#229) — when multiple emulators / devices are connected via ADB, the selection prompt is missing. Workaround: stop other devices, or manually export ANDROID_SERIAL. Targeted for 3.0.4.

• GNOME 3+ system tray icons — IDE tray indicator (#223) not yet implemented. Linux KDE/XFCE/MATE/Cinnamon would already work; planned for OculiX 4.0. The Shift+Alt+C kill switch and the IDE message panel remain the canonical "is my script alive?" surfaces in the meantime.

• CLI args parser (#226) — internal duplication between Commons.hasArg and the Apache Commons CLI Options API. No user-facing impact, but the cleanup is on the V4 tech-debt list.

• Visual Intelligence (#160, [#170]-#179) — the natural-language AItype("the red button below the menu") API and the embedded ML pipeline are roadmap, not 3.0.x. They live on the OculiX 4.0 and OculiX 5.0 — Game Changers milestones.

Full open backlog: oculix-org/Oculix/issues. Bug reports and field feedback drive the next cycle — open an issue, a fork, or a PR.
