●DESKTOP — Gemini now has a Windows desktop app. It runs on Windows 10 and later, and Alt + Space brings it up from anywhere●0.59.0 — This is the current stable Gemini CLI. Versions 0.60 and 0.61 exist only as nightly and preview builds, with no stable tag yet●SEPT 30 — Sixteen days left before gemini-omni-flash-preview shuts down. Its successor adds a resolution field to video_config, so swapping the model ID may not be enough●429 — Passing an external image or PDF URL through fileData keeps returning 429 for some users at 0.03% of quota. The same request succeeds with text alone●NEW — We edited a draft in Drive, asked again, and Gemini answered from the version before the edit.
