# v0.9.3 — Release Notes

**Date:** 2026-08-06 · **Tag:** [`v0.9.3`](https://git.kubebase.de/admin/tool-evaluator/releases/tag/v0.9.3)

## Design: Neon / AI Look

This release modernizes the look and feel towards an "AI interface" with
subtle **neon effects** — inspired by Google AI.

- **Glowing borders & glow:** Primary buttons, focus rings on input fields and
  hover states of tool cards now receive a soft colored glow (cyan → violet →
  orange). Works in both light and dark mode.
- **Animated loading states:** Skeletons, progress bars and spinners now use a
  flowing gradient instead of static gray — like the loading animations of
  modern AI applications.
- **Highlighted elements:** The stat cards on the home page, the compare bar
  and the login form glow subtly and draw the eye.
- **Accessibility:** All animations respect `prefers-reduced-motion` and are
  disabled for users with reduced motion.
