This update is mostly about cleaning up bugs and making the interface smoother. It’s especially important for power users on GitHub or those using the highest-tier subscription plans, as it fixes some frustrating errors that were blocking their work.
What's new
- No brand-new features this time, just a bunch of solid fixes and improvements to make the tool run better.
Improvements
- Clearer command menu: When you type a slash command (like
/help), the menu is much easier to read. The highlighted row is blue, matching letters are bolded instead of changing color, and special characters or emojis in command names now display correctly. - Speedier performance: The app won't freeze or stutter as much when it checks for missing files or looks up people you want to "@" mention in a chat.
Fixes
- Max plan bug: Fixed an issue where if your login session expired, the system forgot what premium tier you were on. This caused it to wrongly ask "Max plan" users to turn on extra payment credits for a feature called Fable.
- GitHub bot bug: Fixed a problem where every single Bash command would crash when running on GitHub's automated servers (called "runners") if a specific setting for non-writing users was turned on.
- Rewind bug: Fixed a glitch with the
/tuicommand. If you rewound a conversation back to before the very first message, it would accidentally drag the old conversation back into view.
