Release archive
Carried forward into every current build.
Capabilities that arrived across the 26.8 and 26.9 releases and remain in 26.10.4.
Master login opens every door
One signed-in master account now enters the Teacher, Learner, Parent, Training Provider, and Participant doors in a single session, without creating many accounts. The role wall is unchanged for everyone else: every role still sees only what its role permits, and only the master login bypasses the per-door sign-in.
Prepared for student use
Student-facing problems found in 26.9.1 are fixed so the app is ready to be tested with students.
26.9.1 gaps closed
The three gaps found in 26.9.1 were closed in 26.9.2 and stay closed. WhatsApp is no longer parked on the download page — it stays a live channel, it is simply not advertised there.
Cross-model findings folded in
26.9.2 fixes the three known 26.9.1 gaps and adds several smaller improvements.
Local APIs stay on this machine
The security improvements from 26.8.10 remain in place.
Qwen-first local setup
Core course analysis can run locally after setup with a Qwen model that fits the computer's memory and storage, without a paid cloud AI account. The default analysis model is unchanged.
Superseded
Earlier releases are superseded.
Download 26.10.4, the current stable release.
26.9.1 — superseded
26.9.1 shipped the local-API hardening and Qwen-first setup but carried three open gaps. 26.9.2 closes those gaps and adds the master login and the student-ready fixes.
26.8.10 — superseded
26.8.10 fixed a security issue from 26.8.9 and kept Study on WhatsApp working. Its fixes are carried into 26.9.2.
Study on WhatsApp stays live
Study on WhatsApp remains on for teachers, training providers, and learners. 26.9.2 stops parking that door on the download page without removing the channel — it is still a live way to study, it is simply not advertised there.
