RELEASE
CHANGELOG.

Review the structural iterations, feature extensions, and performance upgrades of IRIS.

Version Deprecation & Open Core Transition

🚨 Important Notice: All versions before v1.7.0 are now deprecated and will no longer work. Please use only v1.7.0 and future updates.

In our earlier iterations (pre-v1.1.0), IRIS was developed as a 100% free and open-source project. However, to fund continuous engineering cycles, integrate low-latency SDK solutions (Gemini Live API), and construct advanced tools, IRIS has transitioned to an Open Core model.

Pricing Update: IRIS Pro is available for approximately ₹999 + platform fee.

The Voice Rewrite

A complete overhaul of the communication and voice logic, rebuilding the agent on Google's Gemini Live SDK via native WebRTC.

🎙️ Voice Architecture

  • Rebuilt entire voice engine using the Gemini Live SDK
  • Removed legacy WebSocket-heavy communication layer entirely
  • Fixed speaker feedback loop — mic is now muted while IRIS speaks (software AEC)
  • Configured VAD sensitivity (START_SENSITIVITY_LOW) to prevent speaker audio being picked up as user speech

  • Microphone now blocked during AI playback via irisIsSpeaking gate

🧠 Agent & Memory

  • Improved memory context handling across sessions
  • Refactored tool execution pipeline for cleaner routing

🎨 UI

  • Rebuilt 3D AI orb (AICore.tsx) — particle count reduced from 5,600 → 900 (−84%)
  • Switched to Fibonacci sphere distribution (deterministic, no rejection loop)
  • Zero per-frame heap allocations (all THREE.Color, THREE.Vector3 moved to module scope)
  • Precomputed inverse radius — eliminated per-particle Math.sqrt in render loop
  • Canvas GL: antialias: false, depth: false, stencil: false, precision: 'lowp' — halved GPU memory
  • Pixel ratio capped at 1.5x (dpr={Math.min(window.devicePixelRatio, 1.5)})
  • Torus ring segments reduced 96 → 48, rings reduced 3 → 2
  • Orbital rings now phase-offset to avoid synchronized pulse

📱 Mobile (ADB)

  • Fixed executeCameraControl — camera no longer reopens if already running
  • Fixed front/back lens switching using IMAGE_CAPTURE / VIDEO_CAPTURE intents
  • Video mode now opens camera in video intent directly (no mode toggle needed)
  • Added file type validation in polling loop — waits for correct .mp4 / .jpg extension
  • Extended polling to 15 attempts for long videos
  • Mux buffer dynamically scaled (duration > 30s → 5s buffer, else 3.5s)
  • Camera always returns to home screen on failure

  • Fix: set compression: store in electron-builder.yml
  • Explicitly excluded models/**/*, vectordb/**/*, lancedb/**/* from installer packaging
  • Windows installer now builds cleanly with lightweight final bundle
v1.2.2May 23, 2026
Patch Release

Patch Release

Quantum Core & UI Overhaul

High-frequency AudioWorklet packeter fix to eliminate latency, and new automated update check triggers.

  • Audio now buffered into 4096-frame (250ms) chunks — drops latency to near-zero
  • Added native VAD and interruption support — speaking while IRIS talks now instantly flushes playback queue
  • Parallel tool execution via Promise.all — multi-step tool calls now run simultaneously

🎛️ Interactive Auto-Updater

  • New SYSTEM firmware tab in Command Center
  • Manual check for updates, real-time patch notes inside app, download progress UI
  • Disabled forced silent downloads — update now waits for explicit user authorization

🔐 Biometric Vault & Auth
