Release Notes

New Features - Added an optional SOCKS5 proxy listener with policy enforcement and config gating. (9803) - Plan mode now streams proposed plans into a dedicated TUI view, plus a feature-gated /plan shortcut for quick mode switching. (9786, 10103) - Added /apps to browse connectors in TUI and $ insertion for app prompts. (9728) - App-server can now run in external auth mode, accepting ChatGPT auth tokens from a host app and requesting refreshes when needed.

(10286, 10200) - Introduced a SQLite-backed log database with an improved logs client, thread-id filtering, retention, and heuristic coloring. (10086, 10087, 10150, 10151, 10229, 10228) Bug Fixes - MCP tool image outputs render reliably even when image blocks aren’t first or are partially malformed. (9815) - Input history recall now restores local image attachments and rich text elements. (9628) - File search now tracks session CWD changes and supports multi-root traversal with better performance. (9279, 9939, 10240) - Resuming a thread no longer updates updatedat until the first turn actually starts. (9950) - Shell snapshots no longer inherit stdin, avoiding hangs from startup scripts. (9735) - Connections fall back to HTTP when WebSocket proxies fail. (10139) Documentation - Documented app-server AuthMode usage and behavior. (10191) Chores - Upgraded the Rust toolchain to 1.93.
