Mistral Vibe v2.18.0 Changelog

This release is all about making the app faster and less frustrating to use. It matters most to developers using the command-line interface, especially those who rely on web searches, connect to outside tools, and use macOS, because it fixes several Mac-specific glitches and makes daily tasks flow much better.

What's new

• Clickable links: When the AI uses web tools to find information, the URLs in the results are now clickable so you can easily open them in your browser.
• Context window tracker: The app now shows how much "memory" (called tokens) it is currently using at the bottom of the screen, so you know how much room is left for the AI to process your chat.
• Mac image pasting: If you are on a Mac, you can now paste images directly from your clipboard into the text interface.
• New token limit setting: For the ACP (Agent Communication Protocol, a way for AI agents to talk to each other), developers can now set a strict limit on how many tokens the AI is allowed to generate in its replies.

Improvements

• Easier logins: The process for logging into MCP (Model Context Protocol, a way for the AI to connect to outside apps) using OAuth is much smoother.
• Better code viewer: The code-diff screen (where you review changes to your code) was rebuilt to separate the line numbers from the code text, making it easier to read.
• Faster startup: The app opens much faster because it now waits to load heavy background tools until you actually need them.
• Faster connections: Connecting to outside services is quicker thanks to "bootstrap caching" (saving initial setup data so it doesn't have to reload it every time).

Fixes

• Mac password manager bug: Fixed an issue where the Mac Keychain (Apple's password manager) was blocking the app from getting its own login credentials.
• Heredoc blocking: Fixed a bug where a security blocklist was accidentally stopping commands that used "heredocs" (a way to type multiple lines of text into a single command).
• Copy and paste: Fixed a glitch where copying highlighted text from the chat box or text areas simply didn't work.
• Repeated password requests: Stopped the app from constantly asking your password manager for permission over and over again.
• Update tool fix: Ensured that the Homebrew update (a Mac software manager) always runs its update, even if another updater tool called "uv" finishes first.
• Terminal hang-ups: Fixed a bug in the ACP where the terminal wouldn't properly close out background tasks, which used to cause the whole app to freeze.
