SiYuan 3.8.9 reaches RC, adding AI-agent extraction of images embedded in PDFs.

note-takingknowledge baseai agentdatabasesmind maps
◆Current state
SiYuan moved 3.8.9 from beta.6 to rc.1 on Oct 28. The RC's only new item is AI-agent extraction of images embedded in PDFs; the rest of its long list matches beta.5's cumulative notes: pinned agent sessions, backlink filtering by database fields, block-reference collection through database automation, resizable table rows, mind-map themes and node copy/paste, TIFF previews and macOS proxy detection.
◆Where it's heading
The 3.8.x line keeps turning databases and mind maps into structured tools that act on the block graph, and the built-in agent is gaining reach into document content such as PDFs. The release cadence is fast and noisy, with most builds repeating the same cumulative notes.
◆Prediction
A stable 3.8.9 is likely within days, with little added beyond fixes now that it has reached RC.

    SiYuan 3.8.9 beta 6 (same notes as beta 5)

    Beta.6 repeats beta.5's cumulative 3.8.9 notes, so its changes are unlisted fixes. It was the last beta before the RC the same day.

    SiYuan 3.8.9 beta 5: full notes incl. pinned agent sessions

    Beta.5 publishes the full 3.8.9 change list for the first time, which is broader than the earlier betas suggested: pinned agent sessions, backlink filtering by database fields, table row resizing, TIFF previews and mind-map themes. It reads like a release candidate in all but name.

    SiYuan 3.8.9 beta 2 (same notes as beta 1)

    Beta.2 arrived twelve hours after beta.1 with the same notes, so it carries only unlisted fixes. The feature list for 3.8.9 looks frozen and stable is the next step.
