Version 1.5.2 changelog

Latest – 1.5.2

June 19, 2026

This release ships our official AI Connector. It’s still experimental. Follow the link for install instructions, then turn the feature on in the Etch settings panel. Video demo coming on Monday.
The release also expands Content Hub with taxonomy management and broader custom field support. You can browse taxonomies and terms, create new terms in place, and use new Checkbox, Radio and Select field types.

It also adds a few builder and AI Assistant improvements. AI Assistant can inspect the current page structure more directly, dynamic data gains htmlEncode and htmlDecode, and several fixes clean up Content Hub and value conversion.
