v1.2.2PATCH
Platform Update
Changed
  • Replies now run the full width of the conversation instead of sitting inside a box, so long answers, tables, and code are easier to read. Code blocks, tables, and quotes keep their own frames.
  • On phones the message box is now a single compact row — enhance, persona, and send sit beside the text field instead of stacking below it — which roughly halves its height and leaves more of the screen for the conversation.
  • The "Anvil can make mistakes" line below the message box has been removed to give the conversation more room.

v1.2.1PATCH
Platform Update
Changed
  • The davinci skill no longer declares a direct implementation done until it has screenshot-verified the real pages at mobile, tablet, and desktop — if no dev server is running it now waits for one instead of handing off unchecked, so responsive breakage can't slip through.

v1.2.0MINOR
Platform Update
Added
  • Code blocks in chat replies are now syntax highlighted and carry a header with the language and a one-click copy button.
  • The same code-block header and copy button now appear in the Prompt Enhancer and Translate previews.
Changed
  • Chat conversations now carry Anvil's own look: your messages sit in a deep-red bubble, replies are grouped under the assistant's name and model, and answer text is noticeably larger and easier to read on long replies.
  • The chat sidebar sits on its own recessed panel with a full-width New chat button, a credits meter, and a header that shows which conversation you are in.
  • Starting a new chat now centres the greeting and the message box together, with one-tap starter suggestions instead of a grid of cards.
  • While a reply is loading you now see a placeholder shaped like the incoming answer, rather than a pulsing dot.
Fixed
  • Selected chats and the selected model no longer show a pale pink highlight in the midnight theme.

v1.1.0MINOR
Platform Update
Added
  • Pagination and updated release timeline cards on the public changelog page.
  • Introduce davinci skill for advanced UI/UX design with render-verification
  • Extend davinci skill with Audit Mode for live page analysis
  • Enhance snap.sh to support live URL screenshots
  • Support for custom display names for chat models in the admin panel
  • Chat memory core and UI to enable agent persistence across sessions
  • Wire chat memory tool into chat routes during deployment
  • Introduce clear.sh script for davinci skill to reset preview workbench
  • Stay signed in on every device at once — signing in on your phone no longer signs you out on the web. A new Active devices section in Settings lists each sign-in with what it is and when it was last used, so you can sign out anything you don't recognise.
Changed
  • Overhauled chat interface for improved usability, model selection, and phone-sized screens — the conversation list moves into a slide-out drawer with search, and tap targets are bigger throughout.
  • Prompt Enhancer now works on a phone: source and result become switchable panes with a sticky action bar, and the layout respects your device's safe areas.
  • Animations and smooth scrolling now honour your system's reduced-motion setting.
  • Sessions now stay alive for as long as you keep using Anvil, instead of expiring seven days after you signed in.
