Full Release Notes
Premium activation now works on Windows PCs where it used to fail with "HTTP 502". ## Desktop - **Premium activation on Windows.** On some Windows PCs the app's built-in Node runtime could not open a secure connection to the license service, so activating a key failed with "HTTP 502". The desktop app now retries through Chromium's network stack, which uses the same certificate and proxy settings as your browser. Activation, the catalog update and the billing portal link all use the fallback. The manual system-certificate workaround (`setx NODE_OPTIONS …`) is no longer needed (#1592). - **Clearer errors.** When a Premium request fails, the dashboard now shows the actual reason instead of a bare "HTTP 502" (#1592). ## Updating Desktop installers below cover Windows, Apple Silicon and Intel macOS, and Linux. Docker: `ghcr.io/tashfeenahmed/freellmapi:v0.16.5` (`latest` also points here). Existing keys and profiles are retained; no migrations in this release.
