What shipped in Daintree

Aug 22

v0.33.0: Working and waiting read apart, and MCP sessions that stay put

• A project switcher row weighs running agents against waiting ones instead of picking one status out of a priority order, so a project with one agent still working and one waiting on you stops reading as stopped. A grey dot now means saved panels that will resume when you open it, with the count announced
• An external MCP session binds to one workspace at handshake and routes there for its whole life, or fails closed, and the workspace behind it is held thawed against memory-pressure eviction — two agents driving two projects can no longer retarget each other
• Sleep shuts down a single project the way quitting shuts down all of them, including the project on screen, and reopening restores the layout and resumes the agents like a relaunch. Export and Import Configuration move a whole setup to a second machine as one versioned JSON bundle
• Movile, a contrast-budget dark theme, joins the suite, and both defaults are repaired: Daintree's surface ladder was built from two different neutrals with canvas-to-panel sitting under the engine's own JND, and Bondi is rebuilt as warm cream
• File search on a large repository drops from 102ms to 9ms, and startup defers low-frequency services, renderer panels, and the xterm search, image, and Unicode addons until first use

Aug 15

v0.32.0: Park and snooze, so a deliberate wait stops reading as demand

• Park a run with a note and an optional gate. It drops into a quiet Parked band, stops counting as demand everywhere, and hands itself back the next time the gated terminal goes ready
• Snooze an agent for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 6 hours, or until you interact with it; any typed input wakes it
• Project group headers carry a demand chip, and a working run that has been silent for over ten minutes shows a quiet cue instead of rendering as healthy
• A missing Git binary is caught at startup with a banner and a one-click install where that is safe, rather than surfacing as a raw spawn error
• File paths reach git as literal pathspecs, closing a route by which discarding one file could destroy uncommitted work in another

Aug 11

v0.31.0: One searchable launcher, and a copy-context history

• The toolbar agent and panel trays and the dock + button collapse into a single searchable launcher: same inventory, with per-row pinning, shortcut capture, preset rows, and running-state pips. The file browser now opens as a persistent grid panel from every entry point, and ships visible on the toolbar
• The copy-context button becomes a dropdown: copy the full context, or re-run one of the five most recent copies for the project
• An empty command palette query browses the whole action inventory grouped by category, rather than favorites plus a short recents band
• Git writes resolve the branch's real push remote instead of assuming origin, so a fork-configured branch stops writing to the wrong repository
• Daintree stops probing Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google every 30 minutes and on every window focus, regardless of which agents you use

Aug 3–4

v0.30.0–v0.30.1: Pilot, and an MCP surface real clients can hold

• Pilot: every agent run across every project and scratch workspace in one searchable view on ⌥⌘O (Ctrl+Alt+O on Windows and Linux), grouped by project and ordered by what needs you most
• The external MCP tool surface drops from 100 tools to 23. The surface itself is versioned, and returned payloads are bounded and schema-checked. Clients were silently truncating the overflow and choosing for you
• Forge actions over MCP grow enough reach for an agent to run a whole work loop without leaving Daintree
• The file browser feeds files straight into an agent: drag a row or press Cmd+I to send an @file reference
• A relaunch restores every open project window on the project it was showing, voice dictation moves to gpt-live-transcribe, and v0.30.1 closes the routes by which one project's state reached another: terminal restore, reconnect, spawn, and workspaces with no repository

Jul 28

v0.29.0: Any folder is a workspace, and a project can move

• Daintree stops requiring a Git repository: any folder opens as a lightweight workspace, and git init becomes an explicit upgrade
• Move or rename a project folder from inside Daintree; panels, terminals, and agent conversations follow it
• A new read-only file browser panel with a resizable tree and live filesystem updates, and a file viewer that plays video and audio inline and previews PDFs through Chromium's viewer
• A large durability wave protects agent sessions, typed drafts, recipes, and uncommitted work
• Voice dictation moves to GPT-5.6 Luna ahead of the model shutdowns, and the correction-model dropdown is removed now that both tiers collapse to one model

Jul 20

v0.28.0–v0.28.1: Panels open as dialogs, and a deleted worktree keeps its agents

• The file viewer, diff viewer, review workspace, and Review Hub move onto one panel model: each opens as a dialog and can be promoted into the grid
• Deleting a worktree no longer kills the agents running in it: their terminals stay alive on a deleted-worktree card you can drag them out of
• Agent scrollback ceiling raised from 5,000 to 10,000 lines

Jul 13–16

v0.25.0–v0.27.0: Scratch workspaces, terminal editing, and a memory pass

• Scratch workspaces become a first-class place to work: nameable, with a real first-run launcher and bulk cleanup
• Type-anywhere rescue routes stray keystrokes back to the agent you were talking to, and Option+←/→ jumps a word at a time in the shell line editor
• Forge toolbar counts refresh off local git activity instead of a fixed timer, so merge sprees update promptly
• Codex's $ trigger surfaces its Skills, Apps, and Plugins in the completion picker
• Renderer memory in project views is capped while agents stream, and reclaim passes free real memory

Jul 8–10

v0.23.0–v0.24.0: A multi-file review workspace, and a 25% faster boot

• Opening a multi-file changeset opens a dedicated review workspace: a file sidebar with change counts, review progress, a filter, and per-file viewed markers, and changed images get a compare view with two-up, swipe, and onion-skin modes
• Cold startup is ~25% faster, switching back to a recent project is near-instant, and agent terminals appear ~5× faster
• A new file viewer panel opens any text file alongside your terminals, with a rendered view for markdown
• Terminals show why an agent is waiting: approval, question, error, or prompt
• Automatic pre-agent git stash snapshots are removed, so agent starts no longer accumulate auto-stashes in git stash

Jul 4

v0.22.0: Closed agent sessions become resumable

• Every terminal close journals a resume record, so a closed agent session can be reopened later from a searchable list
• The empty panel grid is reworked into a recipe-forward launcher with quick actions and resume shortcuts
• User plugins gain a full lifecycle: hot enable and disable, background update checks, and a startup kill-switch
• The rendering pipeline prioritizes whichever terminal you are looking at under heavy multi-agent load
• A "Why am I slow?" snapshot surfaces the current performance bottleneck on demand

Jun 28–30

v0.20.0–v0.21.1: The plugin system reaches 1.0, and hibernation goes away

• Plugins reach their 1.0 contract: a release-ready authoring toolchain, a frozen manifest, out-of-process execution with crash isolation, and just-in-time consent for high-risk capabilities
• Forge write operations land over MCP: PR create, merge, comment and edit, issue create, close and label, and PR review
• Per-terminal hibernation is removed: backgrounded terminals stay live, ending the recurring agent-TUI corruption across OpenCode, Codex, Gemini, and Claude
• Cold project switches reveal a themed skeleton in ~150ms instead of freezing on the outgoing project for seconds
• Grok (xAI) joins the agent roster, and the Gemini CLI agent is deprecated (still working, no longer recommended)

Jun 14

v0.19.0–v0.19.1: Permission bypass becomes a real setting

• A global skip-permissions toggle with a tri-state DangerousMode, plus a first-run onboarding step to set it
• The in-app assistant can name agent terminals at spawn and rename them afterwards
• A round of panel-tab, terminal-rehydration, and tooltip reliability work

Jun 5–9

v0.17.0–v0.18.2: Light mode looks designed, and GitHub stops being special

• The light-theme token engine is rebuilt for perceptual contrast, with Bondi Beach as the gold-standard template and six more light themes redesigned on it
• GitHub is rebuilt as one forge provider among many: issue creation, assign-to-me, and worktree actions all route through a provider-neutral contract, and the temporary github.* action aliases are removed
• The Daintree Assistant gains a figure rail, lightbox, inline documentation images, and a live MCP tool-call activity strip
• Voice dictation gains context keyterms, terminal-derived biasing, and a dictionary learned from transcript corrections
• Long-running terminals recover more reliably from wake, stalls, and heavy output, with memory-aware trimming, and Electron 42 brings Chromium 148

Jun 2

v0.16.0: The plugin manager becomes a first-class view

• Per-plugin configuration, capabilities, and permissions move out of the settings tab into a dedicated master-detail view
• A daintree:// deep-link scheme can install or open a plugin from outside the app
• Plugins can register agents through a contributes.agents contribution point
• A round of memory-leak and long-session fixes: xterm dispose, PTY descriptors, and disk-state growth

May 30

v0.15.0: A plugin platform, and voice input grows up

• The .dntr archive format, an atomic install pipeline, a daintree-plugin CLI, and the @daintreehq/plugin-sdk
• Plugins contribute commands, context menus, keybindings, settings forms, and views, sandboxed behind manifest-declared capabilities
• Voice input gains client-side voice activity detection, push-to-talk, and dictation target locking
• Dev preview sessions persist across relaunch, with a cross-worktree dev-server dashboard
• Notifications gain a persistent inbox with age-based retention and OS Do-Not-Disturb awareness

May 24–27

v0.13.0–v0.14.1: A scrollable panel grid, and cheaper forge traffic

• The panel grid is reworked from count-driven to size-driven, and scrolls when fleets exceed the viewport
• GitHub and forge traffic is overhauled: host-side batch loading, cross-window GraphQL coalescing, and an ETag-gated activity probe
• The action palette gains pinning, scope chips, mode-prefix routing, and destructive-action disclosure
• A broad accessibility sweep lands across menus, dialogs, palettes, and forced-colors mode
• Antigravity (agy) joins the built-in agent roster

May 21–22

v0.12.0–v0.12.1: Forge providers, faster cold start, and a fleet broadcast rework

• Forge provider model: git host integration is no longer tied to GitHub, with the provider set per project and overridable per worktree
• Faster cold start: the boot path batches its initial invoke and runs hydration concurrently, with memory-pressure handling that scales as load climbs
• Virtualized worktree sidebar: rows now show dirty state, last commit, base-branch divergence, and fetch staleness
• Fleet broadcast rework: per-target edit and skip, fuzzy matching in the picker, and saved fleets split into pinned and smart sets
• MCP server: audit tooling with NDJSON export, time-bounded per-tool grants, and a cap on repeated auth failures
• v0.12.1 follow-up: closing a grid panel feels instant, the file diff viewer loads again, the workspace sidebar no longer hangs on a project folder that has moved, and the assistant says when a saved agent is unavailable instead of quietly falling back

May 16–17

v0.11.0–v0.11.1: Windows feature parity with macOS and Linux

• Windows reaches feature parity with macOS and Linux: NSIS and Store builds, native menus and keybindings, and UTF-8 in fallback shells
• Review becomes the fourth built-in panel kind
• Destructive actions now prompt for confirmation, including every remote push
• Status banners consolidated onto shared InlineStatusBanner chrome
• A resilience pass across the pty-host, file watchers, and crash recovery

May 14

v0.10.0–v0.10.2: Review Hub rebuilt for staging, diffing, and pushing changes

• Voice transcription moved from Deepgram to the OpenAI Realtime API
• Voice dictation runs a whole-passage AI correction pass when recording stops
• PR CI status now shows on worktree cards and the Review Hub chip
• Conflict UI rebuilt: merge, rebase, cherry-pick, and revert conflicts now show as a commit sequence
