+# OK Code v0.15.0
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-05
+**Tag:** [`v0.15.0`](https://github.com/OpenKnots/okcode/releases/tag/v0.15.0)
+
+## Summary
+
+Brand refresh, scoped preview tabs, redesigned chat home, animated marketing background, and rebase-aware branch sync.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **Redesign the chat home empty state.** The landing screen now shows recent activity so new and returning users have an immediate starting point.
+- **Centralize brand constants.** All brand colors, names, and assets are now defined in `@okcode/shared/brand`, making identity changes a single-file update.
+- **Unify OK Code brand identity across the codebase.** Logos, wordmarks, and naming have been aligned everywhere—desktop, web, marketing, and mobile.
+- **Scope preview tabs by project thread.** Preview panels are now scoped per thread so switching threads no longer clobbers open previews.
+- **Add animated marketing background.** The marketing site gains an animated background and a deeper dark theme.
+- **Add rebase-aware branch sync handling.** Branch pull now detects rebase situations and handles them gracefully instead of erroring.
+- **Refine stitch border with subtle 3D depth.** The decorative stitch border gains a more polished, three-dimensional appearance.
+- **Skip CI jobs when unrelated files change.** CI path filters reduce unnecessary workflow runs and save runner minutes.
+
+## Breaking changes
+
+- **Window opacity setting removed.** The window opacity slider has been removed from settings. Windows now use default opacity.
+
+## Upgrade and install
+
+- **CLI:** `npm install -g okcodes@0.15.0` (after the package is published to npm manually).
+- **Desktop:** Download from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/OpenKnots/okcode/releases/tag/v0.15.0). This release includes signed macOS arm64/x64 DMGs, Linux x64 AppImage, and Windows x64 NSIS installer. Filenames are listed in [assets.md](v0.15.0/assets.md).
+- **iOS:** Available via TestFlight (uploaded automatically by the Release iOS workflow).
+
+## Known limitations
+
+OK Code remains early work in progress. Expect rough edges around session recovery, streaming edge cases, and platform-specific desktop behavior. Report issues on GitHub.

+Binaries are **not** stored in this git repository; they are attached to the [GitHub Release for `v0.15.0`](https://github.com/OpenKnots/okcode/releases/tag/v0.15.0) by the [Release Desktop workflow](../../.github/workflows/release.yml).
+
+The GitHub Release also includes **documentation attachments** (same content as in-repo, stable filenames for download):
+

+
+## Desktop installers and payloads

+| Platform            | Kind           | Typical pattern |
+| ------------------- | -------------- | --------------- |
+| macOS Apple Silicon | DMG (signed)   | `*.dmg` (arm64) |
+| macOS Intel         | DMG (signed)   | `*.dmg` (x64)   |
+| macOS               | ZIP (updater)  | `*.zip`         |
+| Linux x64           | AppImage       | `*.AppImage`    |
+| Windows x64         | NSIS installer | `*.exe`         |
+
+### macOS code signing and notarization
+
+All macOS DMG and ZIP payloads are **code-signed** with an Apple Developer ID certificate and **notarized** via the Apple notarization service. Gatekeeper will verify the signature on first launch. The hardened runtime is enabled with entitlements defined in `apps/desktop/resources/entitlements.mac.plist`.
