Release Notes: April 2026 (Early Access Month 1) (1st May 2026) Copilot
The first month of TPEN 3 Early Access was defined by two parallel themes: AI integration and interface polish. The headline addition is the debut of TPEN-Prompts, a new LLM-assisted transcription tool that shipped from scratch and received several rapid tuning iterations before the end of the month. Meanwhile, the core Simple Transcription interface saw meaningful improvements in image resolution handling, IIIF compatibility, and a handful of targeted bug fixes surfaced by real-user sessions. A new utility repository — Github-Manifests — also appeared, automating IIIF manifest generation for GitHub-hosted image collections.
