Features

AI

  • Sidebar: Enabled creating a new worktree from the sidebar's "new thread" icon button. (#59341)
  • Sidebar: Improved the archive "Search all threads" view so you can filter by project name, not just by thread title — handy when many projects are open. (#58214; thanks KevinLaveto)

  • Agent: Improved sandbox permission prompts to show the command being requested. (#59362, #59391)
  • Agent: Improved agent terminal sandbox network permission handling. (#59385)

  • Improved placeholder copywriting in both the branch and worktree pickers to communicate it's possible to type-to-create each. (#59130)

  • Fixed a file descriptor leak on macOS. (#59128)
  • Fixed a race condition that caused collab users to not receive/send any audio to their peers. (#59195)

  • Fixed external agent servers and debug adapters leaking helper processes (e.g. node workers and MCP servers) on Windows. (#58885)
  • Fixed file change events not reporting changed paths in remote projects. (#58157)
  • Fixed ghost project appearing in the window project picker and sidebar when switching between local and remote projects. (#59272; thanks procr1337)

  • Fixed renaming a folder with a dot in its name selecting only the part before the dot. (#59390; thanks IbrahimKhan12)
  • Fixed settings input fields not clearing when a setting was reset to its default while the field was focused. (#59395)
  • Fixed sticky scroll anchoring to unhelpful context rows for multiline signatures when symbol metadata provides a more precise name range. (#56333; thanks saberoueslati)
  • Fixed the "Reopen in Dev Container" suggestion re-appearing in new git worktrees after choosing "Don't Show Again". (#58576)
  • Fixed the active debug line color not updating when switching themes while the debugger is paused (#58736). (#59274; thanks Dnreikronos)
  • Fixed the agent panel offering a thinking toggle for models that cannot run with thinking disabled. (#58980)
  • Fixed the agent permission dialog's "Always Allow" action having no keybinding on macOS; it is now bound to cmd-alt-y, matching Linux and Windows. (#58365; thanks wazer24)
  • Fixed the "Remote Projects" modal not being dismissed on "Open Folder" click. (#58889; thanks mateioprea)
  • Fixed validation of command_aliases setting to avoid showing warnings when aliasing to an arbitrary string. (#57812)
