This release is all about damage control for anyone using the command-line or text-based interface. If you recently updated and found yourself staring at a blank black screen instead of your coding tools, this update fixes that. It matters to anyone who relies on Kilo Code for daily work on Windows or macOS, ensuring the app actually opens when you click it.
Fixes
- No more black screens: Fixed an issue introduced in version 7.5.0 where the command-line tool and its text-based interface would open to a blank black screen on Windows and Mac computers.
- Fixed a Windows crash: Resolved a specific Windows bug where the app crashed because a background program (Bun 1.4) was denied permission to check for a system tool called PowerShell.
- Returned to a stable engine: To stop these crashes, we switched back to an older, proven version of the background engine (Bun 1.3.14) that we know works perfectly.
- Corrected the downloads: Made sure the fixed version of the tool is properly included in all official download packages and VS Code extension stores.
