This update is all about making your workspace feel more personalized and helping you communicate better with AI coding assistants. It matters most to developers who use Warp to pair-program with AI tools like Claude Code, especially if you like customizing your screen layout or frequently share images and code snippets with your AI.
What's new
- Customizable Toolbar: You can now right-click anywhere on the top bar and select "Rearrange toolbar items" to move the little buttons (chips) around exactly how you like them.
- Mermaid Diagrams: If you write Mermaid code (a way to draw charts and flowcharts using plain text) in your markdown notebooks, Warp will now actually draw the diagram for you instead of just showing the raw text.
Improvements
- Pasting Images into AI: You can now paste images directly into the text box when chatting with command-line AI agents like Claude Code or Codex.
- More Text Formatting: You can now use underscores (
_text_for italics and__text__for bold) to format text in code reviews and comments, matching the existing asterisk (*text*) method. - Windows Auto-Start: Windows users can now tell Warp to open automatically when you log into your computer (find it under Settings > Features > General).
- Better Menu Shortcuts: On Mac, you now have dedicated menu options and keyboard shortcuts to jump to Global Search and your AI Agent Conversations panel.
- Smarter Windows Typing: Windows users get 408 new auto-complete suggestions for PowerShell commands, making typing commands in the terminal much faster.
- New Completions: Added auto-complete support for
pprof(a tool used to analyze how programs run) and smarter suggestions when typinggit logcommands. - Easier Link Copying: Right-clicking a web link or file path inside an AI's response now lets you copy it immediately without having to highlight it.
- Cleaner Interface: You can now hide the "lines added/removed" counter on the code review button if you don't need it. The settings menu is also better organized into sub-pages (Agents, Code, Cloud) with a better search bar.
- More Images Allowed: You can now paste up to 20 images in a single message (up from 5) and up to 200 images in a whole conversation (up from 20).
- Faster Logins: Fixed a lag issue where the app would freeze for a moment after logging in if you had a lot of saved items in Warp Drive.
- Downloadable AI Files: AI agents can now generate downloadable files (artifacts) right in your chat, complete with filtering options to find them easily.
- Oz CLI Updates: The Oz command tool can now share runs publicly with specific access levels. It also includes a new built-in guide to help you write code for the Claude API, and better handles remote AI agents by letting them inherit their parent's environment settings.
- Miscellaneous: The
/forkcommand now opens a new chat pane (or a new tab if you hold Cmd+Enter). You'll also get notifications when an OpenCode AI tool asks you a question, and you'll see discount tags on AI models that are currently on sale.
Fixes
- Windows Image Pasting: Fixed an issue where pasting images into AI coding agents on Windows wasn't working right.
- MCP Server Fixes: MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets the AI talk to outside apps. We fixed several bugs here: little status chips no longer run off the screen, the server list is now properly alphabetized, and servers that require you to log in every time you restart the app (like Figma) now remember your login.
- MCP Authentication & Math: Fixed a bug where strict login providers (like Hydra/ORY) were rejecting Warp's login links. Also fixed a glitch where whole numbers (integers) were being sent to MCP tools as decimals (floats), which broke them.
- Code Review Fixes: Fixed a bug where the "Submit" button would incorrectly disable itself on Mac if your file path had different capitalization than what was saved on your hard drive. Also fixed an issue where your comments would be silently deleted if you pressed Ctrl+C to stop an AI command right before sending them.
- AI Tool Fixes: Fixed the AI's file-reading tool so it stops reading normal text files (like shell scripts without a file extension) as unreadable "binary" junk. Also fixed the file-editing tool so it stops accidentally chopping off the end of a line of code when making edits.
- Remote Connection Fix: Fixed the Project Explorer getting stuck on a loading screen when you open it right after connecting to a remote computer via SSH.
- Account Setup Fix: Fixed a glitch where new accounts weren't properly marked as "set up" on our servers if you signed up after skipping the welcome slides.
- Vim Mode Fix: If you use Vim keyboard shortcuts in the code editor, the first search result you find will now actually get highlighted like it's supposed to.
- Readability Fixes: Made the toolbar buttons at the bottom of AI agents much easier to read when using full-screen terminal tools like OpenCode. Also fixed the settings search bar so long words don't spill out of the box.
- Windows Update Fix: Fixed a "file in use" error that sometimes prevented Warp from auto-updating on Windows if the app hadn't fully closed down in the background yet.
- Windows Text Memory Fix: Fixed a serious memory leak on Windows where reading a lot of Asian text (CJK characters) with a font that didn't support them would eat up all your computer's RAM.
- Oz CLI Fixes: Fixed the Oz tool freezing after a command finishes if your internet drops, and fixed Ctrl+C not actually shutting it down when you want to quit.
- Slash Command Fix: Fixed the
/open-filecommand so that the~symbol correctly turns into your home folder path. - AI Ordering Fix: Fixed background tasks from messing up the order of tool calls when a secondary AI agent was running.
