  • Fixed a bug where dev container configurations using Docker Compose and runServices did not implicitly include the primary service. (#61434; thanks pnomolos)

This week's release includes the ability to create a new worktree right from the sidebar's new-thread button, a new agent.terminal_init_command setting to automatically run a command when opening a new agent terminal thread, a workspace: reset pane sizes command to reset all panes to equal sizes, and new editor: select inside delimiters / editor: select around delimiters actions for expanding a selection through nested brackets and quotes.

Features

AI
  • Sidebar: Enabled creating a new worktree from the sidebar's "new thread" icon button. (#59341)
  • Sidebar: Improved the archive "Search all threads" view so you can filter by project name, not just by thread title — handy when many projects are open. (#58214; thanks KevinLaveto)
  • Agent: Improved edit tool performance with a more succinct success response. (#59335)
  • Agent: Improved scroll smoothness while a response is streaming. (#59002)
  • Agent: Improved truncation of long configuration button labels for external agents. (#57808; thanks Bitaru)
  • Agent: Added the agent.terminal_init_command setting to automatically run a command when opening a new terminal thread in the agent panel. (#59374)
  • Agent: Pressing up in an empty agent message editor now brings back the last queued message for editing if there is one. (#58807)
  • Improved agent panel markdown rendering: Single newlines within agent responses now render as line breaks, matching the convention used by GitHub comments and Obsidian. (#57376; thanks tredondo)
  • Agent: Added the ability to grant agent terminal commands network access to specific hosts (rather than all-or-nothing), enforced by an allowlisting proxy. (#59220)
  • Agent: Improved sandbox permission prompts to show the command being requested. (#59362, #59391)
  • Agent: Improved agent terminal sandbox network permission handling. (#59385)

  • Added Anthropic-compatible provider support in settings. (#50381; thanks cppcoffee)
Git
  • Added "View File" to the Git Panel context menu to open a changed file in the editor without a diff view. (#59383; thanks ahmedash95)
  • Improved scrolling performance in diff views containing large hunks. (#58658)
  • Improved placeholder copywriting in both the branch and worktree pickers to communicate it's possible to type-to-create each. (#59130)
  • Improved the toast shown after git: push to always display the "Create Pull Request" button. (#53913)
  • Improved performance of git HEAD state resolution. (#59044; thanks lgeiger)
  • Improved performance of git uncommit. (#59069; thanks lgeiger)

Remote Development
  • Added a dev_container_use_buildkit setting to build dev containers with the classic Docker builder for engines without an integrated BuildKit (e.g. Apple Container). (#59288; thanks tnayuki)
Other
  • Added a workspace: reset pane sizes command that equalizes the sizes of all panes in the center group. (#59046; thanks 42piratas)
  • Added editor: select inside delimiters and editor: select around delimiters actions for selecting content within the nearest enclosing brackets, braces, parentheses, or quotes. Repeating the action expands the selection to the next enclosing pair. (#53789; thanks subeax)
  • Editor: Improved multi cursor editing performance. (#58510; thanks Rani367)
  • Improved long filename truncation in the tab switcher and file finder so extensions remain visible. (#59072; thanks saberoueslati)
  • Improved performance when searching in markdown preview. (#59473)
