Changelog

All Verun releases in reverse chronological order. For downloads and full diffs, see the GitHub Releases page.

v0.8.1 — April 20, 2026

• Sidebar task switching feels instant: output lines are cached per session after the first load so switching away and back no longer re-fetches and re-parses the full NDJSON transcript; steps now load in parallel with the chat view instead of blocking it; file tree skips the worktree walk when the root is already cached
• Task naming (Haiku) now runs with --strict-mcp-config so large MCP server setups don't bloat context and cause failures
• Fix Windows build: gate libc::kill (SIGTERM) behind #[cfg(unix)] — Windows falls through to SIGKILL

v0.8.0 — April 20, 2026

• Appearance settings — new tab with light, dark, and system mode; theme presets plus a fully custom palette (HSV picker for accent, surface, and foreground); bundled UI and code fonts (Inter, JetBrains Mono, Fira Code, Cascadia Code); independent UI and code font sizes; Compact / Normal / Comfortable density; terminal cursor blink; reduced motion
• Tool policy selector — renamed levels to "Ask every time" / "Auto-approve safe" / "Full auto" with clearer subtitles; chip label now reads auto-safe / ask / full auto
• Usage popover redesigned — prominent cost header, grouped rate-limit cards, aligned token grid with split cached-read/cached-write rows, M/B token formatting past 1M
• Persistent Claude sessions — reuse a single CLI process across all turns in a session; eliminates the 2–3s CLI boot cost on every message
• Workspace file search (Cmd+Shift+F) — searches file contents across the active worktree using embedded ripgrep; case/whole-word/regex toggles, include/exclude globs, 150ms debounce, capped at 1000 matches
• Next Steps redesign — click any step to edit inline; armed state shown as an accent border; fire/arm/delete actions revealed on hover; sticky "Next Steps" header
• Skill discovery — reads SKILL.md frontmatter from ~/.claude/skills/ and .claude/skills/; also scans .claude/commands/*.md for slash commands; per-agent discovery so the / palette shows the correct set per session
• Prewarm sessions — opening a Claude session spawns the CLI in the background so the first message is instant
• Right panel tabs redesigned as icon-only buttons (Files / Search / Source Control)
• Plan viewer "Request changes..." now forwards typed feedback as the tool-deny message so Claude continues the same turn
• Fix persistent-session mode/model race — set_permission_mode / set_model now waits for CLI ACK before writing the user message
• Fix API/auth errors on Claude sessions rendering as plain text
• Branch names now use programming-humor themes instead of animals

v0.7.3 — April 17, 2026

• Creating a new session now focuses it even when a file tab is open
• Codex: don't persist thread_id until the first turn completes, so cancelling a fresh session before it replies doesn't break the next message
• Parse Codex file_change and file_read events as tool blocks

v0.7.2 — April 17, 2026

• Move DB init into async spawn to prevent startup crash on macOS
• Chat search position no longer jumps to last match when new agent messages arrive
• File browser now shows .env and other gitignored files

v0.7.1 — April 17, 2026

• Claude Opus 4.7 model option with minimum CLI version gate (v2.1.111+)
• Agent detection now exposes CLI version to frontend via cliVersion field
• Reduce session startup delay: parallelize pre-spawn DB queries, defer title generation, show "Initializing session…" during Claude CLI init

v0.7.0 — April 15, 2026

• Gemini CLI agent — gemini --output-format stream-json --yolo, plan mode, model selection, resume, attachments
• OpenCode agent — opencode run --format json with plan mode, model selection, and session resume
• Multi-agent sessions — each session owns its agent type; new session "+" menu lets you pick agent and model independently per session
• Dynamic model lists — Cursor uses agent --list-models, OpenCode uses opencode models, fetched at detection time and cached
• Per-session model selection — model stored on the session, not the task; /model command and model selector both update the session's model
• Model search bar in ModelSelector for agents with >10 models
• Workspace file search (Cmd+Shift+F) seeds query from current editor selection
• Cross-window sync — new sessions and closed sessions broadcast session-created / session-removed so other windows update without reload
• Rewrote bash policy engine to use AST-based shell parsing (yash-syntax) — handles compound commands, subshells, and wrapper programs
• Normal mode now blocks destructive git ops: branch delete, worktree remove/prune, stash drop/clear, tag delete, and more
• git worktree prune/remove and rm targeting .verun directories hard-blocked regardless of trust level
• Fix slow pasting of long text in session composer and shell terminals
• Cmd+F / Ctrl+F search in shell terminals
• Session input textarea now shrinks back after sending
• Persist last open session per task across navigation and restarts

v0.6.0 — April 14, 2026

• Fork from message — hover any assistant reply to fork in this task (rewinds chat, keeps current code), or fork to a new task with the worktree restored to that exact snapshot
• Per-turn worktree snapshots via git plumbing, anchored under refs/verun/snapshots/ so they survive git gc
• Replaced vtsls with tsgo (@typescript/native-preview) as bundled language server — per-task LSP RSS drops from ~3 GB to ~70–300 MB on real monorepos
• Project-wide Problems panel via debounced tsgo --noEmit; walks every tsconfig.json in the worktree with concurrency bounded to 4
• Diffs as full-size editor tabs — clicking a file in the Changes pane opens a side-by-side diff (CodeMirror merge) with syntax highlighting, search, and folding; double-click pins the tab
• macOS notification clicks — navigates directly to the relevant task and session using UNUserNotificationCenter via Swift FFI
• Normal trust level now auto-allows non-destructive git push
• Plan approval prompt no longer appears falsely when navigating back to a task with plan mode on but no plan generated
• Scroll-to-bottom button in bottom-right corner when scrolled up
• Fix messages rendering with wrong role when switching between sessions with similar output lengths
• Task and session unread indicators now only appear when a session finishes, not after every streamed chunk
• Update notification converted from a top bar to a dismissible bottom-right toast
• Dev builds now use a separate bundle identifier (com.softwaresavants.verun.dev) to isolate SQLite from release builds

v0.4.4 — April 13, 2026

• Tab bar redesigned — flat session/file tabs with rounded surface-0 body, inset outline, active tab framing the editor panel below
• Left sidebar redesigned — project rows as uppercase labels with colored chips, task tiles with inset accent strip, compact icon-only footer

• Changes pane redesigned — VS Code source-control file row style (icon left, status letter right), unified white/8 borders
• Shared ContextMenu component replaces five hand-rolled context menus across Sidebar, TaskPanel, CodeEditor, FileTree, and ProblemsPanel
• Per-language file icons — TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Rust, Python, Go, Java, and 20+ more with official brand colors
• Shell PATH capture upgraded to -lic so .zshrc (nvm/fnm/asdf/mise) is sourced
• New env_path module with background watcher that reloads PATH when the integrated terminal goes idle
• Image attachment thumbnails above chat bubble; click to open full-screen with copy and download
• Right-click a text selection in the editor now preserves the selection for "Copy" from context menu
• Update banner reflects checking / up-to-date / error states

v0.4.2 — April 11, 2026

• Setup hook terminal — hooks stream live output into an xterm.js terminal tab instead of showing a blind spinner
• Stop button — stop a running setup hook mid-execution from the setup banner
• Re-run hooks — re-run failed or completed setup hooks from the banner or terminal tab
• Dev Server tab — Start/Stop button in task header runs the start command in a read-only terminal tab
• Auto-start toggle in project settings and add-project dialog (off by default)
• Adding a project via manual config now auto-opens the new task dialog
• Rename tasks from the right-click context menu
• Auto-name tasks on every new message while the name is still blank
• Add project dialog pre-populates hook fields from .verun.json when one exists

v0.4.0 — April 11, 2026

• Auto-update — checks on launch, shows a banner with download progress and one-click restart; also available via Verun > Check for Updates
• Steps — plan follow-up messages above the input; Enter adds a paused step, Shift+Enter adds an armed step (auto-sends on idle); persist across sessions and restarts; drag to reorder
• Archive tasks — stops sessions and closes terminals but keeps the worktree, branch, and DB records; accessible from the sidebar footer
• Quick Open (Cmd+P) — fuzzy file finder for the worktree, virtualized for large repos
• LSP integration — bundled typescript-language-server with autocomplete, diagnostics, hover, go-to-definition (F12 / Cmd+Click), find references, rename, and format
• File tree — gitignore-aware directory browser with lazy loading, virtualized rendering, and filesystem watching
• Code editor — CodeMirror 6 with One Dark syntax highlighting, code folding, and 15+ language modes
• Unified tab bar — sessions and editor file tabs share one tab bar; MRU tab switching (Ctrl+Tab)
• Token and cost usage — per-turn cost shown on assistant messages, cumulative cost in tab pills, usage chip with popover and reset timer
• OS notifications — macOS desktop notifications when tasks complete, fail, or need approval
• Per-task port allocation — 10 unique ports (VERUN_PORT_0–9) and VERUN_REPO_PATH injected into all processes
• Auto-detect with Claude — analyzes project structure, detects env files, monorepo ports, and generates hooks
