ODS V3 Pre-Release

ODS V3 is in public testing and refinement ahead of the official V3 launch. Try it, share feedback, and help us improve the experience before launch.

The existing v3.0.0 source tag and numeric product versions are unchanged. The GitHub Latest label supports existing update discovery; it does not mark the official V3 launch.

This release is pinned to bec0c42e7c9885a5aecd419a166a6a81e0d37236.

Highlights

• ODS product, package, installer, CLI, and dashboard version metadata aligned to 3.0.0.
• Hermes opens without an owner card on default installs. Administrators can opt into the owner-card gate; internal API and WebSocket authentication remain in place.
• The dashboard OS logo uses a wallpaper-adaptive frosted finish, with stronger contrast in compact navigation.
• Pixel/Portal preview inspection, runtime installation, and upgrade cleanup fixes developed during the current six-machine qualification campaign.

Qualification status

Fleet qualification is still in progress. This release does not claim full fleet green or completed UI/model-switching qualification. The laptop, Strixy, Tower1, Tower2, Tower3, and Mac Mini are being tested with fresh installs and extensive Pixel/Portal user journeys. Complex generated apps and event research still have known acceptance failures; later UI/model-switching phases remain gated until those user journeys pass across the fleet.

CI and focused checks passed for the merged changes, including the final upgrade-dispatch fix. That evidence is separate from complete installed-user acceptance on all six machines.

The source tag remains fixed. Further qualification fixes will continue on main and be released separately; default main-based installs may therefore receive changes beyond this tag.
