Next AI Draw.io 0.5.0

What's new in 0.5.0

What's New in v0.5.0
The first release since May. The web UI is rebuilt around the canvas, draw.io is bundled with the app, the settings dialog is redone, and the MCP server reaches feature parity with the web app. Desktop users get every fix that landed on main over the last five months.
New Features
- Canvas-first UI with a bundled draw.io: the canvas fills the window and the chat floats on its right. draw.io v32.0.2 is served from the app's own origin (no separate draw.io container, works offline), so the app drives the editor directly: every AI change is a version card with a thumbnail that can be compared, restored or undone; an AI change is one Ctrl+Z step; changed shapes are highlighted; selected shapes are sent to the model; draw.io's own toolbar, menus (auto layout, Mermaid, CSV import) and page tabs are available. New start screen, session rename and switcher, and opening .drawio files (#957, #962)
- Settings dialog rebuilt: tabs for Models, General, Drawing and About. Adding a provider is three numbered steps (connection, models, test), with a searchable provider picker, one status line per provider, Bedrock sign-in by API key or access keys with a session token, and a model picker that lists every model as working, untested or failed (#958)
- MCP server 0.3.0, feature parity with the web app: the drawing guide and 30 icon libraries over MCP, screenshot_diagram for visual checks, all-or-nothing edit_diagram, sessions auto-saved to .drawio files (DRAWIO_DATA_DIR), preview themes and dark mode, editable SVG export. The web app now reuses the MCP server's diagram code (#951)
- Multi-page documents in the MCP server: add_page, edit a page by id, name or index, export specific pages (#862)
- load_diagram MCP tool: load a .drawio file from disk into the session, including draw.io's compressed format (#893)
- Admin panel at /admin: manage server settings in a web UI instead of environment variables, enabled by setting ADMIN_PASSWORD; secrets are masked, serverless hosts get a read-only view (#866). Its copy is rewritten in plain words in all four languages (#963)
- Model lists and catalog: 18 providers can fetch their model list into a searchable picker; a models.dev snapshot flags models without tool calls, which cannot draw; the Test button checks all models at once and shows response times (#951)
- New providers: AIHubMix (#865), Atlas Cloud (#896) and MiMo by Xiaomi (#887); MiniMax default model upgraded to M3 (#857) …
