6.0.8 open-design-v0.20.2
THU-MAIC/OpenMAICAug 20, 2026 → Aug 21, 20261 day between releases
What's New
Release notes describe an unrelated product line (open-design v0.20.2) rather than an incremental update to 6.0.8, so the delta is a full product switch, not a version bump.
Breaking Changes
- The newer release is versioned and described as a different product (open-design v0.20.2) than the older toolchain release (6.0.8), so no shared API or setting surface can be assumed.
- Settings removed in 6.0.8 (SOCKET_WEBRTC, LEGALIZE_JS_FFI) and the WASM_BIGINT deprecation have no counterpart in the newer notes, leaving their status in the newer line undocumented.
- Export pipelines that previously tolerated long waits now abort after roughly one minute, which changes behavior for slow or partially broken asset loads.
New Features
- Stuck exports now time out in under a minute and still deliver an image or PDF with an explicit failure reason.
- Open HTML previews retain scroll position, live documents and edits across project, tab and Preview/Code switches.
- Interactive scripts inside project previews survive URL rewriting.
- Checkout handoffs route back to the correct Cloud Console depending on entry point.
- The update control is separated from the account capsule into its own button.
Improvements
- Production export time drops from a ten-minute worst case to under a minute for stuck resources.
- Pricing and entitlement badges were recalibrated so plan status and upgrade paths are reported accurately.
- First-run setup validation now gates the Continue button on actual CLI connectivity.
- Run reporting trusts daemon-confirmed file delivery instead of browser sync timing.
- Preview rendering avoids blank flashes and full reloads when navigating between files.
Bug Fixes
- Runs that produced files are no longer incorrectly reported as producing nothing when browser file sync lags.
- Misleading 'unlimited' entitlement claims in pricing badges were corrected.
- Preview text changes now appear immediately on save rather than after a reload.
- Genuine export failures now surface a named reason instead of a generic timeout.
Upgrade Notes
The supplied notes do not describe an upgrade path from 6.0.8 to v0.20.2, and the version schemes and feature sets do not align, so treat this as a product migration rather than a patch upgrade. Verify which repository and artifact you actually pin before proceeding, and re-validate any settings removed or deprecated in 6.0.8 against the newer documentation. Budget for export-timeout behavior changes if your pipelines depend on slow external assets.
