The team rebuilt the application for significant performance gains, reducing load times by 50% across key operations while decreasing file size by 150 MB and memory consumption. Creating tabs, switching workspaces, and rendering files are all 50% faster.
Improvements
- Switching between chats now remembers your scroll position
- Terminal tabs stay clickable when auto-renamed to short labels, and many tabs can now scroll horizontally instead of being squashed
- You can now go back between onboarding steps
- Reduced GitHub usage when polling PR info
- PR status is now restored from cache on startup, so the git panel shows real state immediately instead of "Loading PR info..."
- Moved Garry mode into General settings and added ⌃O to toggle it
- Embedded terminals now stay running when their UI temporarily closes
- Switching workspaces is faster when interactive terminals are open
- You can now drag files and folders from the Files tab into the composer
- Review sessions now use new review instructions
- Remind agents to compare to origin/main (remote ref) rather than local
- You can now choose terminal tabs and recent commands from @terminal
- The app window now has a minimum size to prevent layout issues
- Reduced time-to-first-response by making start checkpoints non-blocking
- Thinking blocks now look nicer
- The right sidebar is now narrower by default and can be resized smaller
- Archiving a workspace now saves uncommitted changes as a commit
