This update is all about making sure Crush is ready to work with the brand-new GPT-5.6 AI model that is launching tomorrow. It matters most to anyone who relies on Crush for coding help, ensuring the app stays compatible with the latest tech without any hiccups.
What's new
- GPT-5.6 Prep: The app has been updated behind the scenes so it can seamlessly connect to the new GPT-5.6 AI model as soon as it goes live.
Fixes
- Bang mode glitch: "Bang mode" is a feature that lets you run terminal commands directly inside Crush by starting your text with an exclamation mark (
!). Previously, when you used your keyboard arrows to scroll back through your history of typed commands, the app would accidentally add an extra!to the screen. That annoying bug is now squashed.
Improvements
- Cleaner AI instructions: The hidden text that tells the AI how to behave (the system prompt) was tweaked. The developers removed em dashes (β) from the code to make the instructions cleaner and easier for the AI to read.
Breaking changes
No breaking changes in this release.
