+
+**Jumper v2026.02.25** has been released for macOS and Windows - and it's a pretty big one! 🥳
+
+Also, the amazing [Iain Anderson](https://iain-anderson.com) has just released an article title **Visual search tools compared** on [ProVideo Coalition](https://www.provideocoalition.com/visual-search-tools-compared/).
+
+Iain did some very detailed testing:

+
+...and concludes:
+
+> Overall, as you can see from the chart above, Jumper gave me the most consistently good results. Premiere came second, but has a few UI niggles that make its results harder to use. Final Cut Pro and Peakto can definitely find clips on most of the searches I tried, but they fell short more than I’d like.
+
+Make sure you read the full article on [ProVideo Coalition](https://www.provideocoalition.com/visual-search-tools-compared/) as it's a great read.
+
+If you need the very best visual search directly in your video editing software, or as a desktop application - you can't go past Jumper!
+
+The latest **Jumper v2026.02.25** release includes:
+
+**New Features:**
+- AI Agent support: Jumper can now be controlled by AI assistants like Claude or Codex. You can read more in the [documentation](https://docs.getjumper.io/core-concepts/agentic-editing).
+- Added a new more accurate and faster speech model for English. Does frame-accurate transcription of a 2h+ podcast in 1.5 minutes.
+- Public API: Added a local Public API for third-party integrations. You can read more in the [API reference](https://docs.getjumper.io/api-reference).
+- Global speech searches. Like you could already do for visual searches, you can now use speech searches across all analysed media, not just the media in your current project.
+- Added `CSV` export for search results in Standalone mode.
+- Adobe Premiere Pro v26 support.
+- Added drag-and-drop support in macOS and Windows for adding media in the standalone app.
+- Added a splash screen when starting Jumper on Windows.
+
+**Improvements:**
+- Media Panel checkboxes are disabled while analysis is running to prevent accidental selection changes.
+- Added pagination to improve load times in the People Panel for large collections. Thanks, recfocus and Claudio Domenicali!
+- Added duplicate name checks when creating face collections.
+- Premiere Pro UI: Fixed issues with dialog windows being off.
+
+**Bug Fixes:**
+- Searches no longer fail silently when cache files are deleted or moved. Thanks for reporting Youssef Toufik!
+- Fixed drop-frame timecode issues that caused incorrect results or errors in speech/transcript searches.
+- Fixed an issue where naming face clusters could fail or produce mismatched results. Thanks, Claudio Domenicali!
