New Features

  • Add tools for creating and listing managed Git worktrees from trusted local projects when the worktrees feature is enabled.
  • Pin tasks in the agent Command Center with p and keep them in a shared Pinned group when supported by the server.
  • Navigate and copy transcript blocks with /copy, use Ctrl+Insert to copy selections, and tune mouse-wheel scrolling with tui.mouse_scroll_speed.
  • Make URLs clickable in approval headers, questions, MCP prompts, warnings, banners, and verification prompts, including when links wrap across lines.
  • Configure live web access and remote compaction capabilities for custom Responses-compatible model providers.
  • Add JavaScript helpers for streaming promise results as they settle, plus opt-in ranked tool search in Code Mode.

Bug Fixes

  • Respect server model and reasoning-summary defaults for new TUI threads while retaining explicit launch overrides.
  • Preserve existing CRLF line endings in apply_patch updates without requiring an opt-in.
  • Fix Linux sandbox startup with multiple denied files, reject writable sandbox-construction executables, and keep ripgrep configuration from weakening deny-glob masks.
  • Restore ordinary drive-letter file access on Windows 10 and match Windows sandbox temp permissions to the child process environment.
  • Honor server Retry-After advice for retryable Responses and WebSocket failures.
  • Fix archive checksum verification when installing through Windows PowerShell with PowerShell 7 module paths present.

Chores

  • Publish a signed PowerShell installer with Windows releases.
  • Keep older stable releases and prereleases from replacing newer stable download targets or installer aliases.
