v0.16.0 : Update notes (2026/09/02)
Thank you for using Blaze!
v0.16.0 makes it easier to get started with Blaze, adds tips for new users, and brings a refreshed Settings screen.
1. You can start using Blaze without any installation steps
The tools Blaze needs to run are now bundled with the app. The dialog that asked you to install them on first launch is gone, so you can start working right after downloading Blaze.
- If Salesforce CLI or similar tools are already installed on your computer, Blaze uses those instead. Your existing environment is never overwritten.
- The right tools are bundled for both Mac and Windows.
- Because you no longer need to update these tools yourself, the dev tool version management section has been removed from Settings. The bundled tools are updated together with Blaze.
2. Blaze tips now appear on the home screen
Tips for getting the most out of Blaze now rotate on the home screen, so you can learn shortcuts, modes, and how to phrase requests while you work.
- Keyboard shortcuts for starting a new conversation, toggling the sidebar, searching a conversation, stopping a running task, and more.
- Guidance on choosing between modes such as Approval Mode and Requirements Mode.
- Tips for making requests, such as naming the target of the work and stating up front what must not be changed.
3. The Settings screen has been updated
We reviewed the whole Settings screen, focusing on the Files tab.
- The file list now loads progressively, so workspaces with many files open smoothly.
- You can search files by filename or path.
- The editor’s initialization was reworked so opening a file is less likely to render incorrectly or fail.
4. Model selection is now more reliable
- Blaze now shows when model information is loading or could not be retrieved, with a “Retry” action to load it again.
5. Notion has been added to MCP integrations
Notion is now available as an MCP preset. You only need to enter a token to connect.
- Credential validation has been strengthened, and Blaze now explains the cause when credentials cannot be saved.
6. Stability improvements
- If the rendering process stops unexpectedly, the whole app no longer exits. Blaze reports the situation and lets you recover.
- Blaze now records how long each startup step takes, making slow startups easier to investigate.
7. Security improvements
- Internal app communication is now verified to confirm that each call comes from an expected screen.
- Word (.docx) export runs as a separate, isolated process with limits that prevent malformed files from causing excessive processing.
- Validation for opening external links and detection of operations that affect Salesforce have both been strengthened.
- Token information has been removed from authentication responses.
