0.20.0 Beta 1

Dyad v0.20.0 Beta 1 includes a security fix for preview, Azure AI provider support, a better default Smart Context mode, a new app logo, and several bugfixes!

Highlights

Security fix for Preview

We received a private security vulnerability report this week around the preview feature. We have fixed it in this beta release. Once this beta release has been promoted to stable (targeting next week) and this fix is in stable for a week, we will provide additional details including credits for the security reporters.

As always, we thank our open-source community for making Dyad better and safer for all our users.

Azure AI provider

Thanks @tmaasen for adding Azure AI provider support! Azure AI has some special configurations, which is why it couldn't be configured as a custom AI provider.

You can find the Azure AI provider under the "Other AI providers" section.

Balanced Smart Context is default (Pro)

In v0.18.0, we introduced Balanced as a new Smart Context option. After feedback from our Pro members, we have made the Balanced option the default for Smart Context.

The biggest benefit of using the new Balanced option is that it uses up to 25% fewer AI credits to process your AI requests and it works on very large codebases (over 1M tokens)!

You can still opt-in to the old Smart Context mode, Conservative, but please share with us feedback on GitHub if the Balanced mode isn't working well with you!

New app logo

You might have also noticed that we're rolling out a new logo for Dyad. We're hoping this is more distinctive (while still being familiar) and lets you know when you're using the official Dyad product!

Other improvements

Like every release, we're continuing to improve the usability of Dyad and fix bugs.

• Show dollar signs for commonly used models to give a rough cost estimate
• Make it clear which AI model providers are supported with Dyad Pro
