# 🚀 LobeHub Release (20260528)

**Release Date:** May 28, 2026  
**Since v2.2.0:** 220 merged PRs · 15 contributors

> This cycle brings heterogeneous "platform agents" you can dispatch to
local or remote devices, a rebuilt onboarding flow, document-centric
chat, and a unified model-runtime error model — with new DeepSeek V4 and
Gemini 3.5 Flash support along the way.

---

## ✨ Highlights

- **More Hetero Agents (OpenClaw / Hermes)** — Create heterogeneous
agents and dispatch them to local or remote devices through the device
gateway, with an execution-target switcher in the composer and
persistent CLI sessions. (#15065, #15179, #15022)
- **iMessage on Desktop** — New iMessage setup and bridge on desktop,
plus bot attachments across every platform. (#15228, #15227, #15029)
- **Skills in the Composer** — Drag skill chips into chat, trigger
installed skills from the slash menu mid-line, and surface project-level
skills in the homogeneous agent runtime. (#15095, #15061, #15110)
- **New Models** — DeepSeek V4 Flash/Pro and Gemini 3.5 Flash across
providers, with thinking params for structured output and chat cost
estimates. (#15031, #15001, #15051, #14876)
- **Agent Runtime Observability** — OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic
conventions plus per-call generation tracing. (#15123, #15124)

> Self-hosted operators should run the database migration (`pnpm
db:migrate`, or restart with auto-migrate enabled) after upgrading. The
changes are additive and backwards-compatible.
