6.5.1 — Release Notes
Changelog for Agnes Video Generator: new features, improvements and bug fixes for every release.
What's New
Features & Improvements
- Resilient manuscript generation. During manuscript long-video prompt creation, a failure in a single scene no longer aborts the whole task. The failing scene is skipped, the remaining scenes are generated normally, and a resume only re-generates the failed scene — reducing wasted API quota and failed tasks under transient model errors.
- Consistent chat timeouts and retry budget. Text chat now shares the same 300s read timeout as multimodal calls and, on timeout-class errors, retries only once instead of consuming the full retry budget — widening the success window while keeping failure wait times short.
- Aligned Windows launcher.
start.batdetects Python via thepylauncher when needed, builds the venv and dependencies accordingly, and opens the browser only once the local service is reachable, so first-run startup no longer opens a dead page.
Bug Fixes
- Manually-authored manuscript scene prompts (per-scene paragraph mapping) were not being isolated on failure; hard failures now carry the scene index for accurate reporting.
- Fixed creative-video task state not reflecting completed scene videos: generated per-scene videos are now written back to the task state, so the task list and resumes show accurate scene status instead of stuck "pending" values.
- No action is required after upgrading.
