    Introduces direct @ prompt syntax with interactive autocomplete, adds Vim count multipliers across Normal and Visual modes, enhances headless execution lifecycle and task timeout handling, and fixes file-lock concurrency issues in conversation history databases along with streaming response stability fixes.

  2. Antigravity

    Proportional context compaction budgets, full-window sizing, custom model media support, and leak fixes

    Improves context compaction by spreading user-request budgets proportionally across all prompts and sizing truncation ceilings from the model's full context window, enables default PDF and audio support for custom models, routes Ctrl+G editor launches to a real terminal stdout, caps voice dictation recordings to avoid deadline failures, and resolves resource and memory leaks across conversations and background pollers.

  3. Antigravity

    Windows Subsystem for Linux, Office attachments, and live subagent cards

    Connect to a Windows Subsystem for Linux distribution from Application Settings, and drop Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files straight into a prompt. Subagents now appear as live cards you can follow and stop while they work. This release also adds right-click copy and save for images.

  4. Antigravity

    Plan before you build

    Type /plan and the agent drafts a plan you can read and edit before it writes any code. The Agent setting that governs this is now called Plan Review Policy, and you can set it to review every plan, review only when the agent judges it worthwhile, or skip review entirely.

  5. Antigravity

    Local model support with LiteRT and LocalOpenAI, standardized evaluation presets, and custom subagent models

    This release announces official Antigravity SDK local model support with first-class LiteRTAgentConfig and LocalOpenAIAgentConfig configurations, introduces a standardized evaluation preset (AgentConfig.eval()) for core coding evaluations, enables custom subagent model overrides, turns on the schedule tool by default across standard tool groups, and pairs background task management with command execution.

  6. Antigravity

    Inline Kitty graphics for math and Mermaid diagrams, interactive ask_question navigation, dedicated rule…

    Introduces inline Kitty graphics rendering for LaTeX math and Mermaid diagrams in the artifact detail viewer with ASCII fallback and horizontal panning, interactive question navigation with write-in previews in ask_question, dedicated 20,000-token rule budgets to prevent customization eviction, and caps model retry backoff at 30 seconds, alongside plugin lifecycle hardening, Bubble Tea v2.0.9 upgrades, and headless background task logging.

    Custom agents can now switch off the default prompts and tools, and the agent you pick sticks with you after a reload. This release also adds Page Up, Page Down, Home, End, and Escape for moving around a conversation, speeds up switching conversations in the sidebar, and fixes a batch of settings and conversation state issues.

  10. Antigravity

    Subagent roster prompt injection, background task names, credential invalidation handling, and thinking…

    Introduces automatic subagent roster and instruction injection for custom Markdown agents, preserves explicit background task names across notifications and lists, cleanly clears invalidated auth credentials, and fixes interrupted command exit codes, remote cancellation indicators, artifact viewer window resizing, and frozen thinking frames.

    Conversation compaction controls, forward-looking budget scopes, and tool output token truncation

    This release introduces first-class conversation compaction controls via CompactionConfig, delta and forward-looking budget scopes for session resumption, tool output token truncation limits, and expanded arithmetic operations on UsageMetadata. It also delivers OS-level terminal sandboxing examples and automated tool wrapper reflection preservation.

  15. Antigravity

    Plugin MCP namespacing, conversation memory leak fixes, oversized file guardrails, and unsandboxed rule…

    Enhances startup migration diagnostics for unsandboxed permission rules, speeds up /resume with stale caches, automatically namespaces plugin MCP servers to avoid collision, resolves step-cache goroutine leaks, and fixes critical issues with Gemini API thinking block retention, oversized binary file loading, artifact reviews, and database cleanup.
