Kilo Code v7.4.21 Changelog

This update is all about making the Agent Manager (the tool that helps run your AI coding tasks) smoother and faster, especially if you are juggling multiple projects at once. It matters a lot to developers who use the tool for heavy workloads, because it fixes annoying visual bugs, speeds up background tasks, and makes navigating the interface with keyboard shortcuts much less frustrating.

What's new

• Smarter code reviews: You can now use special text commands (slash commands) to ask the AI to review your code. You can tell it to look only at "staged" files (changes you've prepared to save), "unpushed" files (changes saved locally but not uploaded yet), or do a "quick" review.
• Browse AI models early: You can now check out which AI models are available to use before you even start a new session.
• More control over your workspace: If you are working on multiple projects in one window, you can now pick exactly which project folder to use when creating a "worktree" (a separate branch of your code where you can test things safely).
• Customize your view: Added a setting to hide the message explaining why an AI tool was allowed to run, making your screen less cluttered if you don't need that info.

Improvements

• Better keyboard shortcuts: Navigating terminals is much easier now. For example, Cmd+W (or Ctrl+W on Windows) now just hides the terminal window instead of completely shutting it down, and Cmd+Shift+M jumps straight to the AI prompt box instead of opening VS Code's error list.
• Smarter model search: When you search for an AI model to use, the results are now better organized based on the service you use, and it suggests models you've used before.
• Faster project setups: Starting up AI sessions in a worktree is much faster now. The software prepares background files earlier and skips unnecessary file-watching tasks until you actually need them.
• Better voice input: If you use speech-to-text, the app now compresses your audio into a smaller format before sending it. This stops long voice recordings from failing due to size limits.
• Remembering your choices: When you open a window to set up a new AI task, the app now remembers the model and settings you picked last time, so you don't have to choose them all over again.
• Less background lag: The software does a better job managing how often it checks Git (the system that tracks code changes) in the background, which saves your computer's processing power when you have a lot of projects open.

Fixes

• Fixed disappearing menus: Fixed an issue where the navigation bar at the side of the screen (with buttons like New Task, History, and Settings) would randomly vanish in the Cursor editor.
• Fixed multi-project glitches: Fixed keyboard navigation and progress bars that were acting weird when you had multiple projects grouped together in the sidebar.
• Stopped annoying pop-ups: Fixed an issue where background commands (like GitHub CLI) would randomly pop up and flash a Windows Terminal window on your screen.
• Fixed terminal button: The terminal toolbar button now actually shows and hides the terminal panel like it's supposed to, instead of doing nothing.
• Quieter memory warnings: Reduced annoying warning messages about memory timeouts, and the app will now automatically try to fix background memory hiccups once before bothering you about them.
