The latest product updates.

Version v26102414

Release date: October 24, 2026

Major features

  • New interface: every Studio page has been redesigned to be simpler and more intuitive. Version and workshop pages focus on what matters: the chat on one side, the result on the other, and each step clearly shows where it stands and what it needs from you. Comments and reviews open in place of the chat to give the content all the room, and the French interface is now fully in French.

  • GitHub connection: connect your workspace to github.com or GitHub Enterprise Server with your own GitHub App. As with GitLab, Maleus creates a new project's repository or links to an existing one, and pushes to its main branch.

  • Faster iterations: each change request on a version now takes 5 to 10 min instead of 40 min, because the quality check runs only once, before the version is finalized. Its verdict stays in the conversation, showing what was checked, fixed or left open.

  • Assistant: open it from the top bar. It understands the page you are on, helps fill in forms and offers guided tours. Every permission request states the action and its scope in plain words.

Minor features

  • Project charter: every project now has a page that sums up its purpose, goals, users and domains. It stays current as versions ship, opens the Specifications screen and describes the application in the inventory.
  • Environment restart: apply a new secret or key by restarting the environment, without redeploying the version. The Maleus widget key is generated and renewed from the SDK settings without taking the live widget down.
  • Project repository: the repository can also be set up after the project is created, and an access token is enough for any Git host (Bitbucket, Azure DevOps...).
  • Specifications: translated into the project language by the browser's built-in translator, with nothing leaving your machine. Mermaid diagrams and section links render in specifications, deliverables and version briefs.
  • Personal settings: a Settings window (⌘, or Ctrl+,) brings together profile, appearance and language, synced across your devices. The theme can follow your system or switch to dark on a schedule.

Version v26100811

Release date: October 8, 2026

Major features

  • Implementation plans for external projects: on an external project connected to an existing codebase, start a dedicated workshop that uses the project specifications and produces an actionable plan for implementing the change.

  • Mentions in comments: mention a teammate with `@` in specification and deliverable comments. They receive a notification that takes them straight to the relevant conversation.

  • Live promotion status: the Deployments page shows a promotion in progress and then its actual outcome, with clear explanations when it is waiting or fails.

Minor features

  • Preconfigured workshops: each template can preselect its deliverables and variants, and a default focus can be set for each project.
  • Audit trails in generated apps: administrators can review action history in a dedicated section or from a member's profile, with the author of each event.
  • Maleus widget: the widget is enabled by default on internal and external targets with no saved setting, starting with their next deployment.
  • Chat: version and workshop conversations accept HTML files.
  • Generated app tests: service tests are planned from the specifications to cover business rules that are not exercised directly through an API or page.

Version v26092017

Release date: September 20, 2026

Major features

  • Deploy to IT's own infrastructure: publish a version to an IT-owned Git branch and let their pipeline take over, even after their teams push fixes.

  • Specifications resynced from code: an agent updates the specifications from the project repository and opens a merge request.

Minor features

  • Deployments: create and edit external targets in settings, with a clear message when a publish needs action.
  • Chat: ZIP files accepted, and a mockup sent on its own starts a build.
  • Projects: the list shows each project's owner and last activity, and audit log filters can be shared as a link.
  • App security: generated apps handle roles, groups and access scopes, down to row-level rules.
  • App data: apps handle geographic and vector data, and stream large Excel imports.
  • Help center: same structure as the public documentation, plus seven new articles including a getting-started path.

Major features

  • GitLab integration: admins connect GitLab to the organization, and each new project can create or import its repository.
