This update is all about speed and stability. It’s especially great for developers who use Warp’s AI Agent Mode or run sessions in the cloud, but everyday users will also notice a quicker startup and a cleaner, less glitchy interface.
What's new
- Cloud connection indicator: When you're using a cloud agent session (running an AI task on Warp's remote servers instead of your own computer), you now get a clear visual indicator showing if you're connected.
- Customize your tabs: In your Appearance settings, you can now choose exactly which tabs show up in your tools panel, keeping your workspace clutter-free.
- Quick upgrade button: If you run out of AI credits, the error message now includes a "Subscribe" button so you can upgrade instantly without hunting through menus.
- Copy current path: There's a new command in the command palette that instantly copies the folder location you're currently in.
- Copy queued prompts: If you're in cloud mode and waiting in a queue, you can now easily copy your pending prompt.
- New MCP icons: Added recognizable icons for Resend and Sentry (tools that help track app errors and emails) in the MCP gallery, which is where Warp connects to outside software.
Improvements
- Faster app startup: Warp now opens much quicker. Instead of loading all your past AI conversations the second you open the app, it only loads them when you actually click on them.
- Better code previews: When the AI Agent uses MCP (Model Context Protocol, a way for AI to talk to outside tools) to run a request or response, the text now shows up in a monospace font. This makes computer code much easier to read.
- Smoother AI conversations: Agent conversations now use your theme's actual background color instead of a slightly faded overlay, making it look much cleaner.
- Easier code comparisons: In the diff editor (where you compare old and new code side-by-side), you can now just double-click a collapsed, hidden section to fully expand it.
- Direct links to run details: The status chip (the little label showing if a task is running or done) now links directly to that run in the Oz web interface.
- Better billing view: The Billing & Usage menu now highlights exactly which time period you're currently looking at.
- Less distraction in the cloud: If you're just viewing someone else's cloud agent session, Warp will no longer bother you with passive suggestions.
- Search field consistency: The search box in the MCP Servers menu is now sized normally, just like all the other search boxes.
- Updated PR comments: The old
/pr-commentsslash command has been upgraded to a bundled "PR Comments skill," making it easier to pull in comments from your Pull Requests.
Fixes
- Cloud and AI crashes: Fixed several crashes, including one where cloud environments without a Docker image would crash, and another where local-to-cloud handoffs failed if the AI model ID was invalid. Also fixed an issue where AI requests would fail when refreshing your login token for Grok (an AI model).
- Sandbox conversations: You can now continue an AI conversation even after the secure sandbox (the isolated environment where code runs safely) shuts down.
- Git fixes: Fixed issues where Git status wouldn't correctly handle file paths with spaces or renamed files, and fixed a problem with adding untracked files inside nested folders.
- Agent conversation forking: When you "fork" (split off a copy of) an AI conversation, it now correctly keeps your current working folder instead of resetting it.
- Link detection: Fixed an issue where links and file paths would incorrectly grab punctuation marks—like full-width characters used in Asian languages—right next to them.
- Markdown fixes: Stopped Warp from forcing Markdown files to open in its built-in viewer if you've explicitly turned that setting off. Also fixed bold/italic links breaking before punctuation, and fixed a glitch where highlighting text over Markdown tables wouldn't start correctly.
- Code review visuals: Fixed flickering hover styles when scrolling over unchanged lines of code, and fixed a glitch where pinned file headers in code reviews covered up the actual code behind their rounded corners.
- macOS permissions: Fixed missing permission descriptions for Reminders and Calendar access, which was causing a tool called icalBuddy to fail.
- Pull Request comments: Fixed imported PR comments on unchanged context lines being incorrectly labeled as "outdated."
- Slash commands: Fixed repo-specific slash commands sticking around even after you left that repository.
- Window panes: Fixed a missing group header for vertical tabs, and fixed a crash (panic) that happened when dragging window panes around.
- Settings crashes: Fixed a crash that happened when opening Custom Routers settings if the router file was corrupted or invalid.
- Device syncing: Fixed an issue where your custom endpoint AI model selections wouldn't save when syncing your settings across different devices.
- Launch links: Fixed tab-level commands not running properly when you open Warp using a special web link (like
warp://launch/<name>). - UI glitches: Fixed an annoying extra border gap on AI tool-call banners, and fixed the queued prompts panel disappearing when an inline menu closed.
- macOS computer-use crash: Fixed a crash related to building a cache of keyboard keycodes off the main processing thread.
- Linux account fix: Fixed an issue with how directory accounts were resolved for Linux builds using a specific library called musl libc.
