This release introduces rootIRC, an IRC-style real-time chat experience that runs directly inside the terminal as a React TUI overlay. Users can now join chat via the new chat command or by executing rootIRC.exe, see updated help and onboarding text, use a dedicated changelog command, and benefit from smarter script execution, all backed by new chat database structures.
This release introduces premium "root kernel access" features, richer terminal tools, and a new profile publishing flow. You can now style your handle, manage files in your own space, generate ASCII art, and use new Polar-powered checkout, licensing, and subscription APIs. Profiles gain themes, shader backgrounds, achievements, and on‑demand revalidation, plus early analytics support for premium users.
In this release, we've made significant enhancements to the authentication experience alongside important UI improvements. These updates ensure a smoother interaction and make our platform more user-friendly, particularly on mobile devices and Safari.
