Orca Release Digest

Key Points

Verified on 2026-09-09 against an authenticated enumeration of stablyai/orca releases:

• Current stable: tag v1.4.199, published 2026-09-09T18:45:22Z, draft: false, prerelease: false. It is also what the releases/latest pointer resolves to.
• Release cadence is close to daily. The fourteen most recent stable releases span 2026-08-19 to 2026-09-09 — 22 calendar days. Any version claim in this wiki ages within days, so pages state the date they were verified rather than implying ongoing currency.
• Two tagging inconsistencies are real, not capture artifacts, and both will trip naive version parsing:
  1. v1.4.199's release name is 1.4.199 — without the v prefix that every other release in the enumeration uses. The tag is still v1.4.199. Match on the tag, not the name.
  2. v1.4.189 does not exist. The stable sequence goes v1.4.188 (2026-08-22) → v1.4.190 (2026-08-26). A direct lookup of releases/tags/v1.4.189 returns HTTP 404. This is a genuinely skipped version, not a gap in what was captured here.

Release channels

Three tag shapes appear in the repository:

Desktop RCs use a -rc.N suffix on the version they are a candidate for, and land shortly before the matching stable tag. The Android mobile companion versions independently of the desktop app — its tags carry their own v0.0.x series and do not track desktop version numbers. A page that pins a desktop version says nothing about the mobile build, and vice versa.

Reading a release body

Release bodies in this train are substantial — v1.4.198 runs ~44 KB and v1.4.197 ~28 KB — because they enumerate individual changes rather than summarising. For a specific behavior question, the release body is usually a better source than the docs site, which describes current behavior without saying when it arrived.

How this wiki treats versions

Analysis: because Orca ships roughly daily, this KB deliberately does not pin most pages to a release tag. The documentation pages under raw/ are a snapshot of onorca.dev/docs fetched 2026-09-09, and describe behavior as of that date; the release captures here cover v1.4.182 through v1.4.199. Where a page states a version, that version is established by a release body cited on the page itself. Anything older than the captured window — including when a long-standing feature first shipped — is outside what these sources can support, and this wiki does not guess at it.
