Version 1.0.4 | DroneForge Community

DroneForge Nimbus App v1.0.4 adds drone-agnostic hover work, automatic updates, and another round of bug fixes and improvements for the Nimbus development workflow.

This release keeps moving Nimbus toward a more useful Nimbus App for AI drones and autonomous drone development: less manual setup, better support across different hardware, and a smoother path from iteration to flight testing.

Drone-agnostic hover

v1.0.4 introduces work around drone-agnostic hover.

The direction is important. Instead of designing every behavior around one tightly coupled airframe, Nimbus is moving toward control workflows that can be more portable across drone setups. For developers building agents, that makes the Nimbus App more useful as a general development drone platform.

Auto updates

Automatic updates are now part of the release path.

That reduces the amount of manual work needed to stay current, especially for builders testing Nimbus across multiple machines or moving between Windows, macOS, and Linux environments.

Bug fixes and improvements

This release also includes another round of bug fixes and general improvements.

The goal is steady: make Nimbus feel more reliable while developers build, deploy, and test drone programs. Autonomous drone work is already complex enough; the Nimbus App should remove friction wherever it can.

Why it matters

v1.0.4 is a practical release. Drone-agnostic hover points toward more flexible control behavior, auto updates make the Nimbus App easier to maintain, and the ongoing fixes keep Nimbus moving toward a more dependable environment for AI drone development.

Release context

This changelog entry is part of the DroneForge release archive for Nimbus and DF1. The archive helps builders understand how the autonomy stack has changed over time, including updates to setup, Nimbus App behavior, Python Library workflows, documentation, hardware notes, flight workflows, and community-facing product polish.

Older releases are still useful when comparing versions, debugging a local installation, or following the path from early drone connectivity work to current autonomous flight tooling. Use these notes as historical context alongside the current documentation, Nimbus App releases, and Python Library updates.

For current projects, compare these archived notes with the latest release before making setup decisions. DroneForge continues to refine how developers connect hardware, stream telemetry, inspect video, run agents, and build repeatable autonomy workflows.
