## New features

- **Use Aspect on an Intel Mac.** You can now download a desktop build made for Intel Macs alongside the Apple Silicon version. You can use the same desktop workflow with a build that matches your Mac’s processor.

## Improvements

- **Follow the assistant’s progress.** You can now see the assistant’s activity as it works, including the operations it is running and its streamed progress. The assistant also gains a copy-items action, giving you another way to organize content from a conversation.
- **An updated assistant model.** Your in-app assistant now uses GPT-5.6 in the production configuration. You can continue using the same conversations and tools with the updated model behind them.
- **Use links directly from metadata.** You can now click a URL stored in a text metadata field to open the linked page. This makes references in your metadata useful without first copying them into a browser.
- **Work with deeply nested folders.** You can now use deeper folder structures without the old fixed traversal-depth limit cutting off supported operations. Folder paths, descendant lookups, and access checks also avoid more repeated work on large hierarchies.

## Bug fixes

- **Preserve revision history when editing apps save.** Your mounted drive handles more of the temporary-file and replacement patterns used by editing applications, including Premiere Pro and CapCut. A save is more likely to stay attached to the existing asset’s revision history instead of behaving like an unrelated new file.
- **Keep mounts during temporary sign-in service outages.** Your mounted drives and queued writes can survive a temporary outage of the sign-in provider more reliably. Aspect retries the connection instead of treating that temporary failure as an immediate reason to discard the working session.
- **Reconnect after server interruptions.** Your app can recover its live connection after more server restarts and connection refusals. You can receive updates again without having to reload the page after every interruption.
- **Keep keyboard actions inside the active dialog.** When you are working in a dialog, arrow keys no longer select files behind it, and Enter is less likely to start a background rename. Your keyboard input stays focused on the action you are confirming.
- **Refresh nested share pages safely.** You can now refresh a file or folder page inside a share without being sent to a 404 page. Your shared deep links remain usable when opened directly or revisited.
