Qwen Code v0.19.11 Changelog

This update is all about making Qwen Code more reliable and easier to use, whether you are writing code in your web browser or using the command line (the text-only window used to run programs). It introduces smarter ways to organize your projects, better visual tools, and automated checks that make sure the AI is doing exactly what you expect behind the scenes.

What's new

• Interactive Flowcharts: You can now zoom, pan, and drag Mermaid diagrams (charts generated from code) directly in your browser.
• Visual Pull Requests: When you submit code changes (a Pull Request), the system can now automatically take screenshots or record animated GIFs of your visual changes and post them for reviewers to see.
• The /learn Command: You can now teach the AI new tricks and custom skills directly from the command line.
• Color-Coded Workspaces: If you split your screen to work on multiple projects at once, each pane is now color-coded so you don't get confused. You can also maximize a single pane to focus on it.
• Extension Manager: A new dedicated page in the web interface makes it easy to manage your coding extensions.
• Double-Checked Code Reviews: The AI's code review process is now more rigorous, with built-in steps to double-check its own work and prove that it actually verified the changes.

Improvements

• Keep-Alive Heartbeats: If a background command is running silently, the system now sends regular "heartbeat" signals so it doesn't get accidentally shut down for being inactive.
• Smoother Approvals: The default setting for approving AI actions has been changed to "auto" to save you from clicking "allow" constantly, and you can now silence repetitive approval notifications.
• Workspace Health Checks: The background system can now check the overall health of all your active workspaces at once to make sure everything is running smoothly.

Fixes

• Text Box Adjustments: Fixed issues where the code composer box wouldn't resize properly or lost focus when you searched for files.
• No More Infinite Loops: Fixed a bug where updating tags in the code composer caused the system to get stuck in an endless loop.
• Handling Timeouts: If a command-line task takes too long and times out, the system now correctly flags it as a tool error instead of failing silently.
• Cleaner AI "Thinking": Fixed how the system handles the behind-the-scenes "thinking" process of certain AI models (like Claude) so it doesn't clutter your final output.
• Whole Numbers Only: The system will now reject fractional numbers (like 1.5) for session limits, preventing weird system crashes.
