OpenSquilla 0.5.0 released 🎉

🦐 OpenSquilla 0.5.0 is the first stable release of the 0.5 line, consolidating the four previews and the fixes since into one stable build. Upgrading from 0.4.1 or any preview preserves your existing config and session data.

🧠 Model Ensemble & routing — Model Ensemble runs one turn across several models and reconciles the answers; multi-provider routing and provider verification now persist across restarts, and SquillaRouter can route on-device without sending your prompts off the machine.

🛟 Safer upgrades & data protection — the way OpenSquilla protects your workspace, identity, memory, configuration and chat history was reworked: upgrades and migrations never silently overwrite an existing profile, and optional profile migration moved to Settings → Advanced → Data maintenance so startup and onboarding stay silent.

🖥️ Desktop & clients — macOS builds are Developer-ID signed, notarized, and update in-place; the Vue control console is now the only console, with unified support and diagnostics actions; and the OpenTUI terminal preview brings full-screen terminal chat that shares gateway sessions.

📊 Usage & cost — daily usage reporting summarizes what ran and what it cost, with exact usage-based billing on a durable ledger.

🧹 Reliability & distribution — a 36-defect reliability and compatibility sweep across runtime, channels and clients landed just before release; multi-architecture gateway images are published to GHCR, with an Alibaba Cloud OSS mirror for mainland-China downloads.

Upgrading: close any running app or gateway, install manually with one of the pinned downloads below, and restart. Existing config and session data are preserved.
