Release Notes

Version 2.6.0

Release Date: 2026-07-15

New Features

• Added batch model setup: fetch the models available from a configured service and add multiple selections at once

• Added a cleanup action for removing model configurations that are no longer available from their service

Improvements

• Improved multi-model management with separate manual and batch-add flows, plus clearer highlighting for the default model

• When the same model name is available from multiple services, its source is now shown so you can choose the right model for translations and side panel explanations

• Settings now save automatically and take effect immediately, with no separate save action required

Fixes

• Improved compatibility after extension updates, reducing unnecessary error notices when an already-open page has an expired extension connection

Version 2.5.0

Release Date: 2026-07-01

New Features

• Added media-aware side panel explanations for both X and Weibo posts, including image and video-cover previews from main posts and quoted posts

• Added multimodal support for local model backends, including local OpenAI-compatible servers, LM Studio, and Ollama, so side panel explanations can include attached media

• Added temporary model switching for side panel reruns and translation retries, so one request can use a different configured model without changing the default API

Improvements

• Filtering now defaults to text-only scoring for a faster timeline experience, while media-aware scoring remains available as an opt-in setting

• Improved side panel tab isolation, loading states, and media preview behavior so explanations stay scoped to the current tab and current post

• Weibo media previews are now hydrated through the page context, improving preview reliability for protected image URLs

Fixes

• Fixed Weibo detail-page scoring after SPA navigation and improved score badge placement on Weibo detail pages

• Fixed translation placement for reposts and Weibo detail pages, and made empty or no-op translation responses less likely to be accepted as valid results

• Fixed whitelist handling so trusted tweets can apply the whitelist result immediately and stale whitelist-only cached scores no longer persist incorrectly

Version 2.4.0

Release Date: 2026-06-25

New Features

• Added Weibo support for filtering, score badges, translation actions, and side panel explanations

• Added platform-scoped whitelist entries: X uses handles like x/owen, while Weibo uses numeric IDs like weibo/6882232397

Improvements

• Extended post extraction, score actions, and side panel context so the same core workflow now works across both X and Weibo

Version 2.3.0

Release Date: 2026-06-11

New Features

• Added an extension side panel for explaining the current tweet text from the score menu

• Added follow-up chat in the side panel so you can keep asking about the same tweet

Improvements

Fixes

Version 2.2.0

Release Date: 2026-06-02

New Features

• Added reputation-based score badges that accumulate scoring history per account

• Added a reputation summary entry in the score menu so you can view scored count, average score, and current badge status for a user

• Added a quick profile shortcut from the score menu and reputation modal to open the user’s X profile

Improvements

• Badge colors now automatically follow a user’s accumulated average score after enough history is collected

• Whitelisted accounts now use a dedicated reputation state so the shield-style badge and menu messaging stay consistent

Fixes

• Fixed whitelist reputation handling so whitelisted accounts are excluded from reputation statistics and no longer show misleading reputation data

• Improved compatibility for old cached score data by rebuilding reputation summaries from stored detail records when needed

Version 2.1.0

Release Date: 2026-05-30

New Features

Version 2.0.0

• Added tweet translation for both main tweet text and quoted tweet text, while preserving original content and rendering translation blocks below

• Added translation settings in popup: target languages are now multi-select and persisted

Improvements

• Added translation engine strategy options: Ask on first use, Force Chrome, or Force LLM

• Added Chrome Translator API detection and status display in settings, with engine options enabled/disabled by availability

• Changed single-click score behavior from direct toggle to menu entry, while keeping “Toggle Filter” and preserving double-click score details

Version 1.6.3

Release Date: 2026-03-13

Fix

• Fix issue where preset APIs like Ollama couldn’t be added after changing URL to LAN IP (preset values overriding user input)

Improvements

• Preset API name and URL now prioritize user input

Improvements

• Thread pass-through optimization: tweets in the same conversation now reuse the first scored result, avoiding repeated scoring for follow-up tweets

• Improved conversation detection by prioritizing conversation_id grouping (with safe fallback logic), covering mixed-author thread cases like repost + comment chains

• Moved adaptive viewport timeout controls under hide mode only; these options are now shown only when filter mode is set to hide

Release Date: 2026-03-04

Improvements

• Pre-hide unscored tweets: New tweets stay hidden until scored, then are shown or hidden by score (reduces timeline jumps)

• Changed batch size from 5 to 1 to lower timeline jump probability

• Changed temperature from 0.1 to 0 for more stable scoring

• Added cache check before scoring to avoid duplicate requests

• Added viewport detection to prevent large-scale node removal outside viewport causing scroll anchor jumps
