For the upcoming Version 0.5.0, we will focus on three additional major enhancements:

1. The update command will allow users to update their existing installations while preserving their customizations.

2. The new meeting functionality will enable AI-powered meeting generation using the SMART_MODEL environment variable, with results saved as transcripts and minutes in the meetings directory.
