Skales v12.8.3 - Intact

Hotfix & Patch Release. We've just released Skales v12.8.3, with a focus on making your daily interactions smoother and more reliable.

Answers are Now More Predictable

You should no longer see a second, unsolicited answer appear after Skales has finished its response. Any messages typed while Skales was still composing will now be queued correctly, and the application will wait for the current task to genuinely complete before sending new input. If a message cannot be sent, it will remain visible with a "Try again" option.

Telegram Messages Arrive Complete

Longer answers sent via Telegram will now arrive in full. Previously, these could be cut off mid-sentence due to message limits. Messages that were queued but failed to send are now correctly handled, ensuring they are not lost and are resent in order.

Mail Account Settings are Safer

When editing your mail accounts, your password is now protected. Previously, changing any field could overwrite your password with dots. The application will now explicitly ask for your password again if it detects it has been obscured, rather than reporting a generic login failure.

Improved Mail Testing and Configuration

The "Test" button for mail accounts now accurately checks the settings you've just entered, not just the saved ones. Additionally, port and encryption settings are now more tightly linked, preventing impossible combinations and providing clearer error messages for issues like implicit TLS.

Integrations are Recognized Correctly

Skales will now accurately report its integrations, such as Google, Drive, Docs, and IMAP, even if they were configured and working previously. Local models will also respect your set context size, and the application will clearly indicate when a local model cannot read pictures.

Updates Sep 6, 2026 Skales v12.9.26 - Grip Grip is the release where Skales stops when you say stop, and tells you what it costs before it spends. Under every reply sits the price of the session, read from the provider or from the price table, with the sub-agents' bill included; a ceiling you set in Goals stops a run before the next paid step and asks you three things - continue, take a cheaper model, or stop - in the chat, in the Code window, in Iris and on the phone. A typed "stop" is honoured before the first request leaves the machine, and a stopped run says so in its own bubble instead of pretending it finished. Credentials are locked away from the file, shell and search tools; a bulk action or a publish asks first, in every mode, and a yes never covers more than the card names. Updates Sep 4, 2026 Skales v12.9.25 - Backbone Backbone is the release where Skales got one engine. A chat you type, a task you scheduled, a job on a timer, a plugin, a webhook, a Discord message, a Telegram or WhatsApp turn and the desktop Buddy used to run on different loops with different rules; now they all run on the same one, with the same guards, the same budget and the same record of what happened. Close Skales in the middle of a run, update it, let it crash: the run comes back as an unfinished run, says how far it got, and one Continue picks it up at that step. Ask for something big and Skales can hand parts of it to sub-agents, each in its own checkout of your repository, and collect the results. Under every reply sits a context meter that names what filled the window: the system prompt, the tool definitions, your skills, your memory and the conversation itself. Updates Sep 2, 2026 Skales v12.9.21 - Cockpit 2.0 Cockpit 2.0 is named for the screen it replaces. What used to be two stacked tab bars, a second title and a row of icon chips is now one board: everything that stands, in four columns, with goals, your own tasks, Autopilot tasks and schedules as cards you can filter, drag and act on. One head, one action. The phone got the same board in 2.9.21, and a computer on an older version still fills it from what it can tell rather than showing an empty screen.
