# LoWisa Changelog

> Every user-facing LoWisa release, in plain language: what changed in the desktop IDE and the phone app, and what it means for the people using them.

What actually changed, written for the person using LoWisa rather than for the commit log. The newest release is first.

Current versions: desktop IDE 0.9.27 for Windows 10+, macOS 12+, Ubuntu 20.04+, phone app 1.8.1 on Google Play.

## 9 September 2026: Cohort profiles, and a welcome for everyone who joins

**LoWisa for Android 1.8.1.**

- A cohort creator or admin can now give the group a picture, name it, set its subject in their own words and say what it is for. A cohort started outside a learning path no longer inherits a path title it never had.
- A welcome message can be written once and is posted in the channel every time somebody new joins, greeting them by name, so a new member knows what the group is for before they read anything else.
- Links are live everywhere people write: channel messages, direct messages, pinned notes, Clock it posts, comments and profiles.

## 9 September 2026: Community, Clock it and learning cohorts

**LoWisa for Android 1.8.0.**

- Cohorts: learning groups with a channel, direct messages, creator and admin roles, daily work set by the creator, planned lessons and contests.
- Clock it: a collective AI knowledge base where learners post what they discovered, follow each other, react and comment, with a gate that reads every post before it lands.
- Profiles with a picture, occupation, links and follower counts, plus report and block controls on everything people write.

## 9 September 2026: The tutor moves to the new interactive runtime

**LoWisa IDE 0.9.27.**

- Tutor turns, live reads and live writes are served by the new always-on runtime, so answers start sooner and hold up under load.
- Signed builds for Windows, macOS and Linux, published together so every download and update feed agrees.

## 25 August 2026: LoWisa arrives on Google Play

**LoWisa for Android 1.2.4.**

- The phone app goes public: structured paths for careers, programming languages and industrial systems, or any topic you name, taught lesson by lesson with the tutor writing and speaking every lesson.

## 22 August 2026: Purchases, devices and the owner dashboard

**LoWisa IDE 0.9.26.**
