This update is all about making your workflow smoother and less annoying. It focuses on quality-of-life upgrades for anyone using the command-line interface (CLI)β€”the text-based window used to run programsβ€”making sure the tool behaves predictably, keeps your screen clutter-free, and respects your custom settings without getting stuck.

What's new

  • Instant Subscription Updates: If you upgrade your paid plan, the command-line tool detects it automatically. You no longer have to close and restart the program to get your new features.
  • Permanent "Never Allow" Option: When the tool asks for permission to run a command on your computer (a Bash prompt), you can now choose "Never allow." The tool will remember this rule so it stops asking you in the future.
  • The /docs Command: You can now type /docs to quickly search, browse, or jump straight to specific help guides right from the chat.
  • Easier AI "Thinking" Settings: Developers can now adjust how hard the AI "thinks" (its reasoning effort) directly from the server settings file (config.toml), without needing to download a whole new software update.
  • Tidier Screen Layout: Once the AI finishes its "thinking" process, those long blocks of text will now neatly fold away into compact rows, keeping your chat clean and easy to read.

Fixes

  • Readable Minimal Mode: The simplified view (--minimal mode) now uses your terminal's default colors, preventing text from blending into the background and becoming unreadable.
  • Forgiving Settings Files: If there is a typo in an AI model's configuration settings, the model will no longer completely disappear from your selection menu.
  • Cleaner File Paths: Fixed a bug where the AI would accidentally add extra spaces or blank lines to the end of file names, which used to cause errors when saving.
  • Better Pop-up Menus: In menus where you have to select an option rather than type, clicking the empty space at the bottom will no longer accidentally trigger typing mode.
  • Smarter Background Tasks: If you cancel a task that was making the AI wait, the AI will now wake up and get back to work instead of getting stuck doing nothing in the background.
  • Cleaner Text Copying: When you copy quoted text from the chat, it will no longer copy the vertical "quote bar" graphic along with the words.
