What's new in v1.1.6

Highlights

  • Added controls to delete outdated local review comments and conversations from the Changes view without affecting GitHub review data.
  • Pull request review comments now show an Outdated badge when their original code has changed, with a simplified file path label.
  • Improved the Manage marketplaces dialog with clearer source rows, in-dialog error and progress feedback, and better focus handling.
  • Sidebar and right-side panels now open and close instantly, without animation, keeping your conversation scroll position stable.
  • Bulk-archiving sessions now prioritizes closed and merged pull request sessions first before archiving everything in a section.

Added

  • Added controls to delete outdated local review comments and conversations from the Changes view without affecting GitHub review data.
  • Show an Outdated badge on pull request review comments whose original code has since changed, and simplify the location label to just the file path.

Changed

  • Archiving closed or merged pull request sessions from the sidebar now happens immediately, without a confirmation dialog.
  • Bulk-archiving sessions grouped by date or status now prioritizes archiving closed and merged pull request sessions first, only falling back to archiving all sessions in a section when there is nothing completed to clean up.
  • Improved the Manage marketplaces dialog with clearer source rows, in-dialog error and progress feedback, and better focus handling when removing marketplaces or their plugins.
  • Issue and pull request timeline events now show clearer per-event icons, including a distinct closed icon for pull requests that were closed without merging.
  • Moved the context window (long context) option into the reasoning picker in the composer, keeping the model details view focused on informational pricing details.
  • Sidebar and right-side panels now open and close instantly, without animation, and keep your conversation scroll position stable.
  • Simplified merge blocker messages for repository rules, required checks, and approvals to be more concise.
  • Simplified the wording and layout of the storage and worktree location settings.

Fixed

  • "Open in Visual Studio" now opens the workspace's solution file instead of landing on the folder view.
  • Editing a Markdown file with nested lists indented using something other than four spaces no longer rewrites the whole file's list indentation and adds stray backslashes on save.
  • Fixed a blank conversation view when opening a child session immediately after creating it; a "Creating worktree..." progress indicator now shows until the session is ready.
  • Fixed a bug in the Files tab where right-clicking a nested folder and choosing New file, New folder, Rename folder, or Delete folder could unexpectedly collapse its parent folder, hiding the resulting input field.
  • Fixed a bug where enabling or refreshing plugins during an active session could break the session and cause subsequent messages to fail.
  • Fixed a bug where the new automation dialog could get stuck showing "Loading tools…" indefinitely when cloud automation tools failed to load; it now shows the error with a retry option.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when attaching a file while the cursor was in certain positions in the prompt box.
  • Fixed a double scrollbar in the outdated comments panel and improved spacing between comment groups from different files.
  • Fixed a failed session archive removing the session from the sidebar even though it was never actually archived.
  • Fixed a failing check's "Open on GitHub" action not opening when its log link couldn't be resolved safely, falling back to the pull request's checks page instead.
  • Fixed a phantom media player showing up in the system tray/notification area on Linux.
  • Fixed a session's sidebar status staying stuck on Done when the agent resumed work on its own without a new message from you.
  • Fixed an issue on macOS where a file change in one folder could incorrectly be reported for a same-named file in a different folder.
  • Fixed an issue on Windows where the app could fail to recover its local data after an unexpected shutdown or corruption.
  • Fixed an issue where long-running responses could be stopped unexpectedly after conversation compaction happened multiple times in a row.
  • Fixed an issue where switching models or manually compacting a conversation could incorrectly trigger the "compaction repeated too quickly" safety message on the next response.
  • Fixed archiving or deleting a workspace on Windows sometimes failing because an open terminal was still using the workspace's folder
  • Fixed crashes that could occur in markdown rendering, the Invertocat animation, and tab navigation.
  • Fixed duplicate/ghost file headers appearing in the diff view around review threads until scrolling.
  • Fixed extension canvas content in the right panel sometimes staying misaligned over the conversation after resizing the sidebar or panel layout.
  • Fixed external links on Windows re-prompting after you dismissed a shell-open prompt, and added a copyable error toast when a link genuinely fails to open.
  • Fixed external links sometimes silently failing to open on Windows by falling back to the system file explorer when the default launch method fails.
  • Fixed GitHub issue and pull request links in automation run transcripts so they open in the run's side panel instead of doing nothing.
  • Fixed inbox widget links pointing to github.com instead of the correct GitHub Enterprise URL for PRs and issues.
  • Fixed issue and pull request labels sometimes showing the wrong color family (e.g. a pale yellow label appearing auburn).
  • Fixed local-only branches not appearing as selectable base branches when creating a new workspace from an existing branch.
  • Fixed removing a project appearing to do nothing while it deletes, which could let a second confirmation trigger duplicate deletion attempts. The project now disappears immediately with a status toast, and reappears automatically if removal fails.
  • Fixed reopening a pull request that was previously closed getting stuck with a broken session instead of starting a fresh one.
  • Fixed the bottom fade in the conversation view overlaying the last message when the transcript is scrolled to the bottom.
  • Fixed the changed-files list briefly showing an empty state instead of loading while file changes were still being loaded.
  • Fixed the chat transcript getting stuck and unable to scroll while text was selected.
  • Fixed the cloud automation dialog blocking creation when no optional tools were selected, so automations relying only on built-in tools can now be created.
  • Fixed the composer's slash-command skill menu getting permanently stuck and no longer showing newly available skills after a failed skill list refresh.
  • Fixed the conversation and composer shifting and getting clipped when changing the app's zoom level on Linux.
  • Fixed the Enterprise Cloud server address field getting stuck after a failed sign-in attempt, so you can correct and resubmit the address.
  • Fixed the environment picker sometimes hiding "This machine" as an option after attaching an existing project's checkout on another environment.
  • Fixed the header corners of a collapsed inline comment thread appearing disconnected from an open reply draft.
  • Fixed the in-app feedback form incorrectly staying unavailable after switching from a managed account to a personal account.
  • Fixed the Insights tab not appearing when clicking "View session insights" from the session title popover.
  • Fixed the Manage sessions title overlapping the sidebar toggle when collapsed.
  • Fixed the markdown editor endlessly widening a code span that contains only spaces every time the file was saved or reopened.
  • Fixed the message edit box scrolling out of view or being hidden behind the composer when editing a chat message.
  • Fixed the model picker sometimes resetting to "Select model" and losing the session's reasoning effort and context tier after switching models while a turn was in progress.
  • Fixed the outdated comments panel overlapping or duplicating content in the diff view, and grouped multiple outdated comments for the same file under one heading.
  • Fixed the plugin details dialog sometimes showing skills from the previously-viewed plugin when switching between plugins.
  • Fixed the Terminal tab being unusable in a new local folder session until the first message was sent.
  • Fixed unpublished pull request and issue comments being lost when navigating away and back.
  • Launching the app again while it's already running now focuses the existing window instead of opening a duplicate instance.
  • Links in assistant responses that point to files in your project now open in the Files panel instead of being stripped as invalid links.
  • MCP server statuses in Settings no longer flicker to unauthenticated or failed while reconnecting after opening MCP settings or changing a server. Failed connections now show a clearer "Connection failed" message with full, readable error details.
  • Screen readers now announce the default timeout hint when adding or editing MCP servers
  • Uninstalling or disabling a plugin now stops its extension process instead of leaving it running in the background.
  • When a commit fails or appears to hang because your signing key can't prompt for a passphrase, the app now explains what happened and how to fix it, instead of showing a raw git error or seeming to do nothing.
  • WSL environment settings no longer appear on macOS and Linux, where they can't be used.

v1.1.5

Choose a tag to compare

@github-app-releaser github-app-releaser released this 07 Aug 04:52

What's new in v1.1.5

Highlights

  • Added a Resume button to the sidebar hover preview so you can resume interrupted or errored sessions without opening them.
  • Closing the main window now keeps the app running in the background instead of quitting, with tray/dock support to bring it back.
  • Pinned sessions in the sidebar can now be dragged into a custom order that persists across restarts.
  • Hovering a link in a chat message now shows its full destination URL.
  • Permission modes are now aligned with the CLI while keeping the app's existing slash commands like /permissions and /yolo.

Added

  • Added a Resume button to the sidebar hover preview for interrupted or errored sessions, so you can resume them without opening the session.
  • Closing the main window now keeps the app running in the background instead of quitting. On macOS, closing hides the window and the Dock or tray restores it. On Windows/Linux, this is on by default when the system tray is enabled, with an opt-out setting under the tray settings.
  • Hovering a link in a chat message now shows its full destination URL.
  • Pinned sessions in the sidebar can now be dragged into a custom order that is remembered across restarts.
  • Settings now has a skip link: tabbing from the search field reveals a control that moves keyboard focus past the navigation list straight to the panel content.

Changed

  • Aligned permission modes with the CLI while preserving the app's existing slash commands: use /permissions manual|assisted|allow-all|show, /allow-all-tools on|off|show, /yolo on|off|show, or /reset-allowed-tools.
  • Improved the sidebar disk space banner so its graph segments and legend labels clearly match, with per-segment tooltips and a tighter compact layout.
  • Permission prompts now show the specific reason a command wasn't automatically approved, instead of a generic message.
  • The disk space banner's "Manage sessions" button now shortens to "Manage" at narrow sidebar widths so it stays legible alongside "Not now".

Fixed

  • Adding a local clone during onboarding now links the project to the repository you selected, instead of defaulting to your fork when it happens to be named 'origin'.
  • Adding multiple projects at once (like selecting several repositories during onboarding) no longer navigates away from what you're working on as each one finishes importing.
  • Chat sessions can now add Insights and installed extension canvases from the panel's Add tab menu, matching the workspace view.
  • Custom worktree location settings that are rejected now show an inline error instead of failing silently.
  • Expanding a message or tool row inside a background task's details no longer jumps the scroll position of the main conversation.
  • Fixed a bug where certain shell commands with quoted flags could run without showing the expected permission prompt when "Always ask" was set.
  • Fixed a bug where opening the terminal canvas with a command could run it without asking for permission.
  • Fixed Agent Merge treating a required check that hasn't reported yet as passing, which could let merges proceed too early; it's now correctly treated as still pending.
  • Fixed an intermittent issue on macOS where copying text, code, or images could occasionally fail or crash the app.
  • Fixed background shells incorrectly showing as still running with a non-functional Stop action after restarting the app.
  • Fixed crashes in the message composer that could occur when pressing Enter inside a code block or when switching away from a tab while editing a table.
  • Fixed Ctrl+Arrow (Windows/Linux) not moving the caret by word inside composer code blocks
  • Fixed extension canvases sometimes staying frozen behind a screenshot after closing a dialog like Settings.
  • Fixed forking a conversation in a folder-based project, which previously failed.
  • Fixed forking a session losing or corrupting changes to files tracked with Git clean filters (such as Git LFS).
  • Fixed git clone and fetch failures on Fedora, RHEL, and other non-Debian Linux distributions by falling back to the system git when the bundled git can't load its libraries.
  • Fixed keyboard focus being lost from the model or branch picker in the prompt composer toolbar when resizing the window or toggling the sidebar caused the toolbar to switch to its compact layout.
  • Fixed Markdown images with explicit width/height being resized incorrectly, and images using legacy alignment attributes no longer appearing misaligned with adjacent text.
  • Fixed missing tooltips on the "Change view" and "Filter actions" buttons in My Work when hovering or navigating with the keyboard.
  • Fixed My Work list rows not opening when clicking the diff stats, comment count, or assignee avatars at the right edge of a row.
  • Fixed nearly-invisible text selection highlighting in the GitHub dark theme.
  • Fixed right-click selection menu not appearing when selecting text in background task details, so Copy selection works there like it does in the main conversation.
  • Fixed Run scripts not being detected when a session's branch adds repository configuration that the default checkout doesn't have, and improved the empty-state message to explain why no Run scripts are available.
  • Fixed starting a pull request or issue session for a repository accessed through a configured upstream remote, so it reuses the existing fork checkout instead of reporting the repository hasn't been added.
  • Fixed switching the composer mode (e.g. from Autopilot to Plan) unexpectedly submitting the draft message instead of preserving it for editing.
  • Fixed the AppImage failing to launch on some Wayland desktops.
  • Fixed the composer occasionally showing the wrong permission mode (autopilot/ask before every action) right after resuming a session.
  • Fixed the conversation view drifting away from the bottom after zooming out while pinned to the latest message.
  • Fixed the conversation view getting out of sync when editing a message failed, so the message history now correctly reflects the actual state and an error is shown.
  • Fixed the Files tab context menu so using "Copy path" on a nested file no longer collapses its parent folder.
  • Fixed the home page's animated logo continuing to redraw indefinitely while idle, which caused unnecessary CPU and battery usage.
  • Fixed the sidebar lagging behind the cursor while dragging its resize divider, so resizing now tracks the pointer smoothly.
  • Fixed the sidebar stuttering and lagging behind the keyboard while its resize divider is adjusted with a held arrow key, so keyboard resizing is now as smooth as dragging.
  • Fixed video previews getting stuck on Linux by showing a clear message with an option to open the file in your default app instead.
  • Improved screen reader support for environment variable and header rows in MCP server settings, so each row is announced as a group and named after its variable or header.
  • Restored the ability to fix unresolved review comments directly from a pull request's conversation tab.
  • Screen readers now announce what each toggle in Settings > Accessibility controls (e.g. "Reasoning announcements") instead of just its bare name, even when the toggle is reached directly via Tab or a deep link.

@github-app-releaser github-app-releaser released this 06 Aug 01:32

What's new in v1.1.4

Highlights

  • Navigate between related pull requests in a stack with a new stack menu, plus a stack summary in the merge drawer.
  • Copilot can now create GitHub issues in a different repository than the current session.
  • Customize where new session worktrees are created with a new Worktree location setting.
  • Control whether agent-authored commits include a Co-authored-by trailer with a new Commit attribution setting.
  • View and edit the milestone on issues and pull requests directly in the app.

Added

  • Added a Commit attribution setting under Sessions settings to control whether agent-authored commits include a Co-authored-by trailer.
  • Added a one-click copy button for the session name in workspace and chat session information popovers.
  • Added a stack menu next to a pull request's status to navigate between related pull requests in a stack, plus a stack summary in the merge drawer showing which pull requests will be included.
  • Added a Worktree location setting in Settings > Sessions to customize where new session worktrees are created, using a path template with repository, branch, and name placeholders.
  • Added an "Enable sound" toggle to the onboarding accessibility preferences dialog, so you can turn on notification sounds during setup.
  • Cmd/Ctrl+click a quick chat in the sidebar to add it alongside sessions in the session grid.
  • Copilot can now create GitHub issues in a different repository than the current session, not just the session's own repository.
  • Right-clicking a session you've selected in the grid view now shows bulk actions (send, mark read/unread, archive, delete) for the whole selection.
  • Settings > Sessions now shows file-backed instructions discovered from your system alongside the app-managed instructions, including their source path with copy and reveal-in-file-manager actions.
  • The model-change notice can now be expanded to show which model you switched from and how much context was reused from cache.
  • You can now view and edit the milestone on issues and pull requests in the app.

Changed

  • Forked sessions now appear as independent top-level entries in the sidebar instead of being nested under their source session.
  • Improved the plan review experience: newly created plans now open automatically with the approval prompt focused, the plan panel shows a rendered checklist with search and an easy switch to edit the raw Markdown, and completed plans are clickable in chat history to reopen them.
  • In the sidebar's group-by-project view, top-level sessions no longer show a redundant repository label on hover since they already inherit it from their project header. Nested sessions still show their repository label.
  • Increased the contrast of selected-state backgrounds for a clearer visual highlight.
  • Session history now loads faster by reading the transcript from disk immediately instead of waiting for the agent to resume.
  • Smoothed out scrolling while tool calls stream in with Balanced verbosity, so the view stays anchored to the bottom, scrolling up to review earlier tools isn't interrupted, and edge fades transition more gradually.
  • The composer's empty placeholder text now mentions typing "&" to reference other sessions.
  • The credits usage notification is no longer shown when you have a bring-your-own-key or local model configured.
  • The Plan tab now uses the standard plan review experience by default; you can still opt into the canvas rich text editor for plan.md in settings.

Fixed

  • Agent merge now shows a status message when it's paused waiting on a commit status check, instead of silently parking with no explanation.
  • Archived pull request diffs that were previously blank or missing now show correctly when possible, or a clear explanation when the underlying changes can no longer be recovered.
  • Checking for updates in Settings > General now announces status to screen readers, and the check button stays keyboard-reachable while a check is running.
  • Comment boxes (like inline review replies and draft review threads) now correctly receive keyboard focus when they open, so typing immediately after opening no longer gets lost.
  • Completed pull requests and issues no longer linger in the home page's Up next section.
  • Expanding a composer pill panel (like queued messages or background activity) no longer shifts the chat history.
  • Fixed a bug in the canvas editor where saving a file containing an image with backslashes in its alt text (such as a Windows-style path) would corrupt the alt text a little more with every save.
  • Fixed a bug where a custom storage location directory named "worktrees" or "copilot-worktrees" could be incorrectly altered when saved.
  • Fixed a bug where clicking the model picker could submit your draft message instead of opening the picker.
  • Fixed a bug where commands run through env could bypass the shell command permission prompt.
  • Fixed a bug where newly added skills didn't show up in the / autocomplete menu until a session started or the app was restarted.
  • Fixed a bug where sending a message while the assistant was responding could leave your message displayed below the assistant's reply instead of in chronological order.
  • Fixed a confusing browser permission prompt that could appear when reading the clipboard on Windows.
  • Fixed a crash in the terminal that could occur after the graphics context was lost.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when resuming a session with very large files in its artifacts; oversized files now show a clear "file too large" message instead.
  • Fixed a crash that could replace the entire app with an error screen when typing certain search terms (like "constructor:") into a filter query, such as in My work or the cloud automation trigger filter.
  • Fixed an issue where pressing Stop while a follow-up message was queued sometimes required pressing Stop a second time before the session became idle.
  • Fixed archived workspaces sometimes showing a file count with a diff that never loads by falling back to the last saved diff when it can no longer be reconstructed.
  • Fixed branch renaming so the configured branch prefix is no longer applied twice when Copilot renames a session's branch.
  • Fixed child sessions sometimes showing an incorrect model, reasoning effort, or context size in the composer instead of the configuration inherited from the parent session.
  • Fixed clones of the same repository sharing sidebar labels and settings, which could merge their sessions or route actions to the wrong clone. Clones with the same name now show distinct, path-qualified labels.
  • Fixed collapsed resolved and staged review comment threads showing an unnecessary "Outdated location" banner, keeping the collapsed row compact.
  • Fixed conversation compaction sometimes getting stuck in a repeating loop that could run indefinitely; affected turns now stop automatically with guidance to resend the message.
  • Fixed copying selected text in the read-only file viewer, which previously copied nothing to the clipboard.
  • Fixed emoji in the integrated terminal being measured too narrow, which shifted the rest of the line and broke alignment in tables, box-drawing layouts, and similar output.
  • Fixed extra vertical spacing on session communication entries like "Received message" and "Read session" in the conversation view.
  • Fixed keyboard and screen reader navigation for clickable list rows so their action buttons can be reached and activated independently.
  • Fixed keyboard shortcuts silently stopping when focus was on a tab's close button, such as switching tabs or submitting a pull request review.
  • Fixed noticeable lag when viewing diffs containing very long lines (like long strings or near-minified code), which could take over a second to syntax highlight.
  • Fixed pasted URLs with underscores being incorrectly converted to Markdown emphasis in the composer
  • Fixed plugin-provided skill slash commands failing with an "Unknown slash command" error
  • Fixed pressing Escape to close the provider dropdown during onboarding's model provider setup from discarding the whole form, including a typed API key.
  • Fixed pull requests incorrectly showing as mergeable when they actually had merge conflicts.
  • Fixed reasoning effort incorrectly defaulting to "None" for some models when starting a new session.
  • Fixed right-click context menus not appearing for files and folders in the Files tab
  • Fixed screen readers announcing extra button text when navigating the notification sound picker and the "Open in" app menus, so each option is now announced clearly.
  • Fixed screen readers not reading the helper text next to the auto-update toggle and the Suggestion cards Restore button in Settings, and fixed focus loss and missing confirmation when restoring suggestion cards.
  • Fixed shell commands sometimes never running in terminals using a customized shell prompt.
  • Fixed skill directories configured in config.json or settings.json being ignored when the file contained comments or trailing commas
  • Fixed skill directories from config.json or settings.json not being recognized when the file started with a UTF-8 byte order mark.
  • Fixed stuttering when scrolling wide file diffs sideways in the conversation view.
  • Fixed the "Add Enterprise account" form in Settings so an invalid server address is announced to screen readers, and an empty submission now explains what to fix instead of doing nothing.
  • Fixed the /compact command sometimes showing no progress or result, or requiring a second run to display feedback.
  • Fixed the app launching to a blank window on some Linux systems due to a font-rendering crash triggered by certain color emoji or monospace fonts.
  • Fixed the completion summary at the end of a task being incorrectly grouped with the preceding tool call.
  • Fixed the conversation view growing and jumping when a long sequence of tool calls runs in Balanced verbosity mode by keeping the live tool list scrol...

  • GitHub Copilot now appears automatically as a read-only model provider in the Model Providers settings when you're signed in with an active Copilot seat.
  • If GitHub Copilot fails to start, it now shows a diagnostics dialog letting you copy details or open the log file instead of leaving you with a blank window.
  • Local repository text and code files opened in a file tab or the Files viewer can now be edited directly, with changes automatically saved.
  • Plan tabs can now be closed and restored from the Add tab menu in the full-height right panel layout, matching Changes and pull request tabs.
  • Precise cross-row text selection and copying in diffs is now enabled by default, with an option to fall back to native browser selection if diff scrolling or selection feels slow.

  • Pull requests that are part of a stack now show stack status and can be merged together as a stack from the merge drawer.
  • When using Auto, completed responses now show which model was actually used, plus AI credits and cache details when available.

  • Cancelled checks now show a muted alert icon instead of a red failure icon, matching GitHub.
  • Collapsed tool call groups no longer show a failed-call count in the summary; failure details still appear when the group is expanded.
  • Files now open immediately when clicked, without a delay. Use Cmd/Ctrl-click to open a file in a new tab.
  • Issue conversations now load progressively, with comments and timeline events streaming in as they arrive instead of waiting for everything at once. Issues with very large comment threads no longer get cut off.
  • Large sessions now open faster by showing the most recent messages first while older history streams in the background.
  • Pull request file diffs now appear progressively as they load, instead of waiting for the entire diff to be ready before showing anything.

  • Removed the metadata status bars (start time, duration, output summary) shown below tool calls and reasoning steps in the conversation timeline.
  • Right panel tabs are easier to scan, close, and restore, with clearer close controls, adaptive label widths, and support for a narrower panel.
  • SQL tool calls now show a human-readable summary in the conversation timeline instead of the raw query, which remains available in the expanded details.
  • The Changes tab now uses a simpler diff icon in the full-height right panel layout.
  • The file tree in the Files tab now starts at its minimum width by default, leaving more room for file content.
  • The review panel can now be resized down to 25% of the workspace width, and the 25% width preset now works correctly.
  • Updated the icon for Interactive mode in the prompt composer to a conversation glyph.

Fixed

  • Automations now correctly use the saved Long Context model setting when they run on schedule.
  • Copying a selection from inside a code block now copies the raw text instead of converting it to markdown links.
  • Ctrl+Enter now submits the kickoff prompt in the Sessions widget on Windows and Linux, matching Cmd+Enter on macOS.
  • Fixed "Copy path" on files in the artifact tree copying only the file name instead of the full file path.
  • Fixed "Create PR + agent merge" sometimes creating the pull request without actually turning on agent merge, especially when navigating away while the PR was being created.
  • Fixed @ file mentions showing "No matching files" on Home and other pre-session composers when a project's files had loaded.
  • Fixed a brief "Thinking" row flashing and disappearing in the conversation timeline before an agent's response started streaming.
  • Fixed a brief flash of "No changes to compare" before a session's diff finished loading.
  • Fixed a brief layout jump when responding to a permission prompt or resuming an interrupted session, so the composer settles into its final size immediately.
  • Fixed a bug where a background session delivering a message could switch your active chat or side chat and steal focus while you were typing elsewhere.
  • Fixed a bug where deleting a project while one of its sessions was still starting up could leave the app unable to close, stuck warning about an agent working in a project that no longer existed.
  • Fixed a bug where deleting a session or workspace could silently discard uncommitted work in certain repository setups instead of preserving it.
  • Fixed a bug where editing a markdown file could unintentionally remove backslash escapes on unrelated lines, causing escaped characters like headings, lists, quotes, and HTML tags to render incorrectly after saving.
  • Fixed a bug where entering a branch name starting with a dash (e.g. "-D") when creating a worktree could silently delete an existing local branch instead of creating the new one.
  • Fixed a bug where toggling a skill in Settings could silently re-enable a different skill you had previously disabled.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur in the diff view when reviewing changes with an open comment draft while the diff was still updating.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when a message arrived while closing a session.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when deleting a table from the rich text composer.
  • Fixed a crash that could replace the whole app window with an error screen when a code block's language label was "proto".
  • Fixed a layout shift when a session loaded file-edit rows, where the row now appears in its final position immediately instead of shifting after diff stats loaded.
  • Fixed a rare issue on Linux where the app could crash or hang and require a full relaunch to reconnect.
  • Fixed a rare issue where the first message in a new session could fail to send, requiring you to manually resend it to continue the conversation.
  • Fixed a small layout shift in sent user messages as they transitioned from pending to sent.
  • Fixed adding two repositories with the same name from different organizations so each gets its own checkout instead of one add failing or pointing at the wrong repository.
  • Fixed Agency falling out of date for users who don't run it directly in a terminal, by keeping it updated in the background when Agency mode is enabled.
  • Fixed an issue where pressing Escape while typing in a Settings field (such as custom instructions, the branch prefix template, or the environments base path) could discard your edit instead of saving it.
  • Fixed an issue where responding to certain agent prompts (choice selections or custom text answers) could leave the conversation stuck instead of resuming.
  • Fixed an issue where sessions could get stuck asking for approval on every tool call instead of remembering your auto-approve preference.
  • Fixed an issue where the "Expand up"/"Expand down" buttons in the diff view could occasionally fail to appear.
  • Fixed an issue where the agent could automatically merge a pull request while its checks were still running or failing.
  • Fixed automation card titles always showing a pointer cursor on hover, even when the "Show pointer on hover" accessibility setting was disabled.
  • Fixed automation runs sometimes staying stuck showing as running after they had already finished.
  • Fixed code blocks breaking in the markdown editor when opening files with Windows-style (CRLF) line endings
  • Fixed conversation rows briefly overlapping earlier messages when opening a session's history.
  • Fixed conversation rows sometimes overlapping after resizing the workspace split pane.
  • Fixed editing an MCP server with an argument containing spaces silently corrupting its argument list when saved without changes.

  • Fixed folders in the Files tree not being collapsible or re-expandable while a filter is applied.
  • Fixed follow-up text unintentionally appearing bold after quoting a bolded reply in the composer.
  • Fixed hidden overflow-menu and row-action buttons in settings and other lists incorrectly capturing taps on touchscreens.
  • Fixed inline review comments and replies so text with angle brackets (like Array<string> or <summary>) displays exactly as typed instead of being misread as HTML.
  • Fixed inline review comments sometimes moving to the wrong line or disappearing when the diff changed while a draft review was open.
  • Fixed keyboard focus getting stuck when Tab or Shift+Tab was pressed while an image preview was open.
  • Fixed misaligne...

What's new in v1.1.2

Highlights

  • GitHub Copilot now appears automatically as a read-only model provider in Model Providers settings when you have an active Copilot seat.
