🚀 Flock v0.3.1: Multimodal Integration & Interactive HITL
Flock v0.3.1 delivers a massive boost to core capabilities! This release officially introduces multimodal file and image processing, unleashes an advanced interactive human-in-the-loop (HITL) form engine, and optimizes data-layer persistence and streaming synchronization for stability.
🚀 Key Highlights
-
Multimodal Capability Evolution: Fully supports text files and images within both Assistant Chat and Workflows. Image attachments are now persisted locally and managed securely via relative paths in SQLite, completely resolving macOS WebKit engine crashes and click freezes during active workflow runs.
-
Deepened Human-in-the-Loop (HITL): Introduces the AskHuman interactive form tool, bridging critical human intervention gaps in automated pipelines. Features a beautifully overhauled Human Takeover banner UI for a seamless handoff experience.
-
Under-the-Hood Performance & Architecture: Optimizes backend-to-frontend communication by introducing a batch IPC emit mechanism. Additionally, DbManager now caches encryption salts to reduce cryptographic overhead on frequent queries, and the runtime pet state monitoring behavior has been refactored for zero overhead when disabled.
-
Crates.io Ecosystem Alignment: Successfully migrated langgraph-rust dependencies from direct git refs to official crates.io releases, locked down at v0.2.3 for maximum reproducibility.
