Kavor 1.5.0
Highlights
- Publishes Kavor through Microsoft Store for Windows alongside the direct NSIS download. Microsoft signs and delivers the Store package and owns updates for Store installations.
- Signs both macOS architectures with Apple Developer ID and notarizes them through Apple. Gatekeeper can now verify the Kavor publisher and notarization ticket instead of presenting the initial unidentified-developer flow.
- Adds a working-directory selector to every CodingAgent. A session may start from any existing directory selected by the User, including a directory outside the Workspace, while preserving its independent Git and worktree association.
- Lets connected CodingAgents passively read completed turns from a reachable peer's current provider session. History is cursor-paged and reading it does not send provider input, activate the peer, or create a Kavor message.
- Improves Kavor Skill context delivery so Specification creation guidance is available before a Specification is connected and Trigger work receives its relevant operating context directly.
Fixes
- Preserves complete long CodingAgent session messages across bounded history pages instead of truncating their remaining text.
- Detects provider-session changes during a passive peer read and fails the stale continuation instead of combining fragments from different sessions.
- Validates Codex sessions before resuming them and replaces an externally archived current session without losing its restorable provider history.
- Reads completed Antigravity history across provider pages and normalizes passive history support across Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, OpenCode, and Grok.
- Keeps long startup arguments and selected working-directory paths bounded inside the CodingAgent settings panel.
Installation
Download Kavor from https://download.agentkavor.com. The page detects the current platform and also exposes every available package. Existing direct installations can check for this release from Kavor's Software Update settings. No manual Workspace-data migration is required; Kavor backs up supported local databases before applying schema upgrades.
- Windows x64 is available from Microsoft Store or as the assisted per-User NSIS installer. Microsoft signs and updates Store installations. The direct installer remains unsigned, so Microsoft SmartScreen may require explicit confirmation.
- macOS 13+ provides separate Apple Silicon and Intel DMGs signed with Kavor's Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple. This release transitions the earlier ad-hoc identity to the stable Developer ID identity. If macOS refuses the automatic transition from an older build, install the matching DMG manually from the permanent download page; existing Kavor data remains in place.
- Linux x64 provides AppImage and DEB packages. AppImage supports Kavor-managed updates with an explicit coordinated restart; DEB updates are installed manually from the download page.
Known limitations
- Schedule Triggers require the Kavor runtime to be running, the machine to be awake, the User to be signed in, and the target session to be active. An occurrence missed while Kavor was not running is recorded and offered as an explicit manual run; it is never executed automatically on the next launch.
- Windows ARM64 and Linux ARM64 packages are not included until their native PTY, SQLite, process-containment, and packaged-runtime gates can run on matching CI environments.
- Windows direct downloads do not yet have an Authenticode publisher certificate; Microsoft Store packages are signed by Microsoft.
- The first move from an ad-hoc macOS build to the Developer ID-signed build may require a manual DMG installation or
one Keychain authorization for
Kavor Safe Storage. Subsequent signed releases retain the same Apple Team identity. - Microsoft Store may make this exact version available after its independent certification completes; the stable direct packages remain available immediately from the Kavor download page.
