Release notes · August 19, 2026 · ConnectOnion 1.6.12
Your Servers, Your Regions, Your Shared Mailboxes
ConnectOnion 1.6.12: pick where a server is provisioned, share an email address across accounts without handing over a key, and cleaner Outlook attachment downloads.
Pick your region
co server new prod --region asia-southeast1 — a server is provisioned where you say, not where the platform happens to put it. Every region has finite capacity; when the one you have been using fills up, you now have somewhere to go instead of nowhere. Sydney stays the default, so your machines and their data remain in Australia unless you choose otherwise.
Share a mailbox without giving it away
One address, two accounts. A person keeps using rental@mail.openonion.ai exactly as before, and the agent that builds their outreach queue can now send from that same address — starting today, stopping the moment anyone changes their mind:
co email share rental@mail.openonion.ai --with 0x... --can send
co email share --list
co email unshare rental@mail.openonion.ai --with 0x...Nothing is transferred, no private key changes hands, and every sent mail still records which account actually sent it — a shared address stays one conversation with clear attribution.
Attachments that land the way you expect
co outlook download <email> --to ./invoices saves a mail's real documents. Two attachments with the same name become report.pdf and report-1.pdf — nothing is ever overwritten. And a corporate signature's logo images stay out of your download folder unless you explicitly want them: --include-inline.
Steadier scheduled runs
Every model connection now carries explicit network bounds — connect, read, and retry limits defined in one place, for every provider. An upstream that stops answering ends in a clear, typed error your automation can catch and react to, within a documented time bound. Overnight runs keep their schedule.
One fix, every newer line
A stable patch and a feature train do not inherit each other automatically. Applicable 1.6.12 fixes are forward-ported into the stabilising 1.7 line and main/1.8 with focused tests; the 1.6.12 version bump and release-only metadata are not. After 1.7 Stable is verified, its release branch is merged back into main. This keeps every supported newer line at least as fixed as Stable without letting an old version number overwrite a new feature train.
Upgrade
