v0.12.1

[0.12.1] - 2026-11-11

Added

• Pick skills in the Command Queue. Use the Skills button or type a
  skill prefix for a supported agent running in a local pane. Suggestions
  follow that agent and its working directory as you switch panes.

Fixed

• Input method text stays after confirmation. New Agent and Command
  Queue preserve confirmed text, and skill suggestions no longer take
  keys meant for input method composition or candidate selection.
• Sidebar footer buttons have more space. Extra spacing separates the
  controls at the bottom of the sidebar.

v0.12.0

[0.12.0] - 2026-11-11

Added

• Pick skills in New Agent for local and remote projects. Browse from
  the Skills button or while typing. Suggestions follow the selected agent
  and worktree, including the files a new worktree will receive.
• Pin worktrees from the keyboard. Use ⌘⌥P, the Worktree menu, or the
  Command Palette to pin or unpin the current worktree. Agents View also
  has a button to switch its display mode.

Changed

• Project menus and Settings are easier to navigate. New Agent and
  Workspace Add Project share Recent and Host groups. Settings groups
  Projects by Host; the sidebar footer opens Settings and Help.
• Archive and Delete Worktree have new shortcuts. Use ⌃⌘⌫ to archive
  and ⌃⌘⇧⌫ to delete from the main window. Interactive archive actions
  now ask for confirmation. Refresh All Projects is in the Command Palette.

Fixed

• Git actions find your installed tools. Fetch, push, and Git platform
  commands now use your shell's search path, fixing missing credential
  helpers when codans starts from the Dock or Finder.
• Remote sessions reconnect more reliably. SSH drops no longer leave
  keyboard input in the wrong mode. New remote macOS sessions can use the
  login keychain when the host has zmx and an active desktop login.
• Pull requests stay current and merge safely. New Projects fetch PRs
  at once, merges stop when new commits arrive, and GitLab approval status
  no longer treats an incomplete reviewer list as complete.
• CLI send waits for the command to run. codans pane send no longer
  completes a wait before the shell runs the submitted text, and captures
  output reliably when a pane has just attached.

v0.11.0

[0.11.0] - 2026-11-09

Changed

• Settings has a new sidebar. Panes show colored icon tiles in three
  groups, Hosts is now Remote Hosts and Developer is now Integrations, and
  each Project has one page, with its commands last.
• Pane and agent titles follow one set of rules. The pane header and its
  tab show the title the running program sets, Agents View rows show the
  agent's own title, and both keep their title across a restart.
• The Command Palette tells Remote Project worktrees apart. Their rows
  show the remote marker, search matches the host name, and rows follow the
  sidebar order.

Fixed

• New worktrees stay at the top of the list. A worktree created in codans
  no longer lands at the end of its Project's list, and a failed creation no
  longer leaves two rows.
• Remote Projects no longer list a folder twice. A path through a symlink
  or typed in another letter case now matches the Project that already holds
  the folder, and existing duplicate rows merge.
• Shortcut hints follow the ⌘ key again. Some hints showed while ⌘ was up
  and hid while it was held; the Run button's hint moved to its tooltip, so
  the toolbar no longer shifts.

v0.10.0

[0.10.0] - 2026-11-07

Added

• Remote projects are grouped by Host. The sidebar lists Projects under
  This Mac and each remote Host, and you can drag to reorder them inside a
  Host. Manage Hosts in Settings › Hosts, or pick one in Open Remote Project.
• GitLab merge requests. Projects on gitlab.com, or on a GitLab that
  glab 1.122.0+ is logged in to, show merge requests like pull requests,
  with merge, close, and rerun actions. A Workspace can mix both platforms.
• Settings › Git Platforms. See whether gh and glab are installed
  and logged in, and how to fix it. SSH aliases and ports are matched
  automatically; add an alias for any other remote host.
• Session History in the pane header, and on ⌘Y. A button next to the
  split buttons opens it for that pane; ⌘Y opens it for the focused pane
  and closes it again.
• More keyboard shortcuts. ⌃⌘1…⌃⌘5 switch the sidebar filter, and while
  the Agents View is open, ⌥1…⌥9 jump to the first nine agents.
• The CLI shows each Project's Host. codans tree and the project
  commands print it, and --host picks a Project when two Hosts have one
  with the same name.

Changed

• Agents View rows show what each agent is doing. The first line is the
  agent's live activity or the title it set, also for restored sleeping
  agents.
• "Remote project" everywhere. Connect to Server is now Open Remote
  Project… and Edit Connection is Edit Remote Project…. On first launch,
  remote projects move to shared Host records; older builds cannot open the
  migrated catalog, and a backup is kept.
• Calmer shortcut hints, animated sidebar. Holding ⌘ alone shows each
  shortcut as grey text in place, with nothing moving, and tooltips read
  "Back (⌘[)". Sidebar rows animate as you expand and collapse them.

Removed

• Tab Rename, Change Color, and Change Icon. Tabs no longer have a color
  dot or a custom icon; codans tab rename still sets a tab's title.

Fixed

• A tab's icon matches its selected pane. It shows the agent's mark only
  while that agent runs, a script's icon for a script pane, and a terminal
  otherwise.
• New worktrees respect auto-switch off. Creating one no longer moves
  your selection; the new row gets the New badge.
• Workflows no longer hang when an agent exits early. The run asks you
  to relaunch, skip, or cancel that role.

v0.9.2

[0.9.2] - 2026-11-02

Added

• Hidden panes give memory back sooner, and you can turn it off. Under
  memory pressure, terminal views of hidden panes are released at once; recent
  worktrees stay ready. Settings → General → Memory turns this off.
• Sleeping agents stay visible and reachable. An agent whose pane has no
  terminal view keeps its Agents View row with a sleep glyph; click to wake it.
  pane send, pane capture, and agent status work on it too.
• Attach files in New Agent. It has the Command Queue's paperclip, picked
  paths go in at the caret, and the Command Queue keeps unsent text until you
  send it or close the pane.

Changed

• Toggle Sidebar is now ⌘/. The sidebar button's tooltip shows the
  current shortcut. A shortcut you set yourself stays.
• The selected tab looks like a system tab. On macOS 26 it is drawn with
  the system tab glass and matches Safari's height, hover, and drag.

Fixed

• PR badges stay current in every project. All projects refresh while
  the app is in front, and a PR an agent pushes or opens shows in seconds.
• Closing panes and tabs is steadier. A crash after closing a pane is
  gone, and closing the shown tab no longer flashes the window.
• Back and Forward always show where you land. The sidebar switches to
  All when the current category does not list that worktree.

v0.9.1

[0.9.1] - 2026-10-31

Changed

• Moving a pane follows the pointer. Drag a pane's title: its title chip
  rides under the pointer and the drop target lights up as a half card. The
  lagging drag image and the stray box inside the window are gone.
• Pane actions open a native menu. The header's actions button now shows
  the same items as the pane's right-click menu. Queued commands show as a
  count badge in the header; click it to see and remove them.
• Pane cards read more clearly. Unfocused cards fade back onto the
  window glass, terminal text has even room inside the card, and the gap
  between panes is easier to grab for resizing.

Fixed

• Sidebar filters stay round in a narrow sidebar. They shrink to equal
  circles instead of squashing.
• Sidebar rows no longer show through the Agents View card when the list
  scrolls under it.
• A dragged tab keeps its color instead of turning into a gray capsule.

v0.9.0

[0.9.0] - 2026-10-31

Added

• Choose where a resumed agent session opens. Session History, now in
  each pane's header menu, resumes a session in a new tab, in place in that
  pane, or in a new split on any side. The last choice is kept app-wide.

Changed

• Panes are titled cards. Each pane is a rounded card with a live title
  and split and close buttons; drag the header to move it. A worktree with
  one tab hides the tab bar, and new tabs come from ⌘T.
• Notifications moved to the sidebar filter bar. The Unread filter
  (bell) lists only worktrees with unread notifications and turns orange
  while any are unread. Right-click it to mark all as read; ⌘U opens it.

Removed

• Header notification bell, its inbox popover, and the Pin filter. The
  "Show status-bar bell" setting is gone too. A saved Pin filter opens as
  All; pinned worktrees still sort first.

Fixed

• Workspace groups accept branch-style names. A name such as
  feat/login now works; the group's folder gets a safe name derived from it.
• .codans/ no longer shows as untracked after a workflow run in a
  repository that has no workflow definitions.

v0.8.0

[0.8.0] - 2026-10-29

Added

• Agents report their own state. Claude Code, Pi, and omp now tell
  codans when they work, wait, or fail: the Agents View shows working as
  soon as a prompt is sent, what a blocked agent needs, and a new error state.
• Workspaces hold branch groups. A named group checks out one branch
  in every project of a Workspace, each with its own terminal, and starts
  agents once every checkout exists; create one from the header's +.
• The project sidebar has filters. Capsules at the top of the sidebar
  show All, Remote, Workspace, Pinned, or only worktrees with a pull
  request.

Changed

• Breaking: the catalog moves to version 4. The first launch backs up
  and migrates it, putting each Workspace's checkouts and terminals into a
  group named existing. Earlier builds cannot read the new catalog.
• The command queue lives in the pane. ⌘L opens a composer that sends
  now or on a schedule, once or repeating; queued commands float at the
  top of their pane and fold into the queue button when hidden.
• The finished agent state is now called done. codans agent status
  reports done; codans agent wait --until finished still works.

Removed

• Breaking: codans workspace no longer takes branch flags. Branches
  belong to groups now: use codans workspace group create and group delete.

Fixed

• Panes keep their shell and agent after a cache clean. Pane sessions
  moved from ~/Library/Caches/codans, which cache cleaners wipe, to
  ~/.codans/run; reattached panes also open at full width again.
• Tabs and the Git viewer follow what you see. A tab started by a
  script or agent launch shows the live title, and the Git viewer opens
  on the selected worktree.

v0.7.11

[0.7.11] - 2026-10-15

Added

• Workflows run multi-agent routines. Built-in review loop, handoff,
  and advisor workflows start from the Command Palette or codans workflow; create and manage your own in Settings → Workflows.
• A New Agent dialog replaces the header's agent menu. The header
  button or ⌘⇧N picks a project, a new worktree or branch, a prompt, and
  an agent; an unsent draft is kept for the next open.
• The worktree context menu reaches GitHub and scoped changes. Open
  in GitHub, Open Pull Request, Show Uncommitted, and Show Outgoing act
  on the right-clicked worktree.

Changed

• One diff window serves every worktree. Opening another worktree's
  changes retargets the open window instead of adding one; each
  worktree's view settings still come back.

Removed

• The header no longer shows the worktree processes badge. The
  terminal-count button and its process list popover are gone. A tab's
  running process still shows on tab hover.

Fixed

• Notifications skip what you already saw. No banner comes from the
  pane you are typing into or for an agent stop you already looked at;
  a crash still notifies.
• Missing folders and remote-less repos no longer break creation. A
  moved project folder shows "Folder not found" instead of an empty tab,
  and a new worktree in a repo without origin skips the fetch.
• Long sessions stay healthy. Panes re-attach at their real size, the
  sidebar no longer keeps an old branch after a checkout, and CLI calls
  no longer time out after the app quits unexpectedly.
