+# January 8, 2026 - HexOS Curated Apps & Enhanced Diagnostics
+
+This release introduces a dedicated HexOS curated apps section and improved diagnostic capabilities.
+
+## Enhancements
+
+### HexOS Curated Apps Section
+
+We've added a new "HexOS" category that filters apps to show only those officially supported for HexOS. This category includes a dedicated icon and ensures correct search filtering, making it easier to find apps that are tested and optimized for your HexOS system.
+
+### Diagnostic Reporting
+
+We've enhanced our diagnostic infrastructure to capture more detailed technical information when system events occur. This helps us identify and resolve issues more quickly.
+
+**Technical improvements:**
+- Enhanced diagnostic data collection during system events
+- Improved error context capture for faster troubleshooting
+- More comprehensive system state reporting
+
+These improvements allow us to better understand and address technical issues across the platform.
+
+**NOTE:** This update was applied automatically to your Command Deck. You may need to clear your cache. Help with clearing your cache is available [here](/troubleshooting/common-issues/ClearCache).
