Latest ยท v0.8.1Apache-2.0
v0.8.0
2026-06-13LatestCommand palette, GPU block-mode terminal, spaces, broad file-type support, and a UI/UX pass.
Added- Command palette: fuzzy launcher for every quick action, with in-file content search and command history.
- Block-mode terminal: GPU-accelerated, Warp-style command blocks with a unified shell/AI input bar and editor-like input panel.
- Spaces: persisted tab groups you can create, rename, and drag to organize.
- Media and document viewers: images, audio, video, PDF, and rendered or raw markdown.
- Explorer: drag-and-drop support and git decorations on the file tree.
- Zen mode to hide the header and status bar.
- Editor auto-save with a configurable delay.
- Multiple OpenAI-compatible endpoints; LaTeX and Astro syntax highlighting.
- Terminal: macOS readline bindings (Cmd+Arrow, Cmd/Opt+Backspace), Cmd+K to clear scrollback, rename tabs via right-click, middle-click to close.
- Drop file paths into the active pane with bracketed-paste and DPI-correct hit detection.
- Confirm before closing a tab with a running process.
- Official Nix/NixOS support with an auto-update workflow.
Changed- UI/UX polish across tabs, panels, header, and sidebar, with native CSS animations replacing the motion library.
- Dynamic window title from the project folder and active terminal.
- Source control: right-click context menu on changed files.
- Terminal perf: static cursor default, WebGL slot reaping, and TUI keep-alive.
Fixed- Ctrl+B reaches the terminal/Claude; sidebar toggle moved to Ctrl+Shift+B.
- Explorer highlights the active file.
- Editor: correct cursor positioning on macOS at non-100% zoom; language reconfiguration when the document becomes ready.
- macOS: settings window no longer hides behind the main window; press-and-hold character popup disabled.
- Terminal: block IME composition keydown events from reaching the PTY.
- Linux: strip bundled Wayland libs from the AppImage to fix the EGL crash on newer Mesa.
v0.7.3
2026-05-25Agent notifications + management, live fs watcher, /claude-code command, Windows polish.
Added- Agent notifications and management - one bell, one router for the built-in agent and every terminal coding agent.
- Live filesystem watcher for the explorer tree and open editors.
- /claude-code slash command to orchestrate agents via Terax AI.
Fixed- Editor: preserve original file permissions on atomic-write rename.
- PTY: authorize the CLI launch directory in the workspace registry on startup.
- Settings window is resizable, with a larger default size.
- Terminal: cwd above home, Windows verbatim paths, CI/test hardening.
- Windows: System32 launch dir, PTY reload reap, paste + stale-render fixes.
v0.7.1
2026-05-21Themes and customization, MLX + Ollama, Windows ConPTY lifecycle fixes.
Added- Custom themes and presets - build in-app, save, switch between bundled and your own. Covers terminal palette and surrounding UI together.
- Background images with adjustable opacity and blur (new defaults: 50% opacity, 0 blur).
- Editor-based custom theme editor - edit tokens inline rather than hand-writing config.
- Full ANSI terminal palette in the theme model.
- MLX and Ollama as local AI providers, with autocomplete via local models.
Changed- Reasoning / thinking blocks stripped from history before the model call (Cerebras rejected them, others paid tokens).
- Composer keeps focus and accepts typing while the agent is streaming - queue follow-ups instead of waiting.
- Models settings tab redesigned, model picker scroll fixed.
- AI mini-window: todo panel sizes to content, caps at 35% for long lists.
Fixed- Windows ConPTY lifecycle race - CreatePseudoConsole and ClosePseudoConsole now share one lock. Fixes the WSL-to-Local blank-terminal case.
- Console window no longer flashes when Terax spawns subprocesses (shell init, git).
- New terminals no longer try to launch into the install directory.
- Shortcut changes made in Settings propagate to the main window without a restart.
- Agent and snippet editor dialogs scroll their body so Save/Cancel cannot get pushed off screen.

- AI mini-window: responsive, scrollable todo list.
- Terminal: Option+arrow word navigation.

v0.6.4
Security release - removes the OSC 8888 escape sequence handler (CVE pending).
