Grok Build v0.2.118 Changelog

This update is all about giving you more control over your chat history and making the app run more smoothly without annoying glitches. It matters most to people who use keyboard shortcuts to navigate quickly and anyone who runs long background tasks.

What's new

• Permanent deletion: You can now completely delete saved conversations (called "sessions") right from the dashboard. Just press Ctrl+X twice on an idle row, or hit 'd' then 'y' from the welcome list.
• Better shortcut guide: If you press Ctrl+. to see keyboard shortcuts, it now includes tips on how to look through your past prompts (things you previously asked the AI) and search the current conversation.
• Smarter troubleshooting: The grok doctor tool (a built-in system checker) now warns you if a terminal tool called "tmux" is limiting your screen colors, and it can automatically fix the setting for you.

Fixes

• Server overload retries: The /btw command used to fail right away if the AI model was too busy. Now, it will wait and try again instead of just giving up.
• Session sharing: The ability to share your chat sessions with others is temporarily turned off while it gets fixed.
• Canceling summaries: If you press [stop] or Ctrl+C while the app is summarizing your chat (a process called /compact), it will actually stop now, instead of ignoring you.
• Duplicate recaps: The app was accidentally showing automatic conversation summaries twice after a single response; that's fixed now.
• Accurate timeout limits: The warning messages for background tasks waiting too long now correctly match the actual time limits set in the app.
• Stuck background tasks: If a background task finished really fast, the menu used to lie and say it was still "Running." Now it updates correctly.
• Plan mode indicator: When you approve a plan, the on-screen label for "Plan mode" now disappears immediately instead of sticking around.
• Scrollbar dragging: You can now drag the scrollbar in the plan preview window normally, instead of it acting glitchy.
• Context length errors: When the app summarizes your chat to save memory, it now correctly handles errors from the AI about running out of space, instead of breaking.
