--- version: 1.17.2 date: 2026-08-01 title: OpenChamber theme by default --- ## App ### New - **Sessions:** move a root session and all its sub-sessions into a new worktree from the session header menu. - Desktop: the active session header has a menu with rename, share, export, archive, delete, and copy ID. A share link lands on your clipboard as soon as it is created. - UI: OpenChamber, in dark and light, is the new default theme. - Files: Settings → General has an Auto-save switch. Binary, PDF, and Office files are left out of it (thanks to @makeittech). - Desktop/Linux: a Window Controls Style setting switches between classic rectangular buttons and macOS-style traffic lights (thanks to @kydorn). ### Improvements - **Mobile:** the app navigates by two swipe drawers now. The left one lists sessions across projects and lets you rename, archive, or delete with a swipe; the right one holds Changes, Files, Terminal, Notes, and MCP. Tapping the title in the header opens recents with live status, and a cold launch reopens your last session or shows a connect screen when it cannot. - Performance: the first session after startup opens faster, because background requests no longer get in front of the message load (thanks to @yulia-ivashko). - Terminal: switching terminal tabs keeps the connection instead of building it again on every open (thanks to @makeittech). - Chat: a tool description shows the glob pattern when the tool was given one. - Sidebar: a session with an agent working shows a live activity dot even while the sidebar is collapsed (thanks to @pascalandr). ### Fixes - Git/Diff: symlinks show as links in the diff instead of dumping the content of the file they point at. - Chat: clicking the padding around the composer puts the cursor in the text (thanks to @IbrahimKhan12). - Chat: the `/` menu lists a skill once when a command shares its name (thanks to @IbrahimKhan12). - Usage: every Z.ai usage window shows up in the usage view. - VS Code: per-session auto-accept answers permission requests as they arrive when it is turned on. - Desktop: sticky session headers in the sidebar stop blinking and jumping while pages change (thanks to @ChangeHow). ### Misc - Desktop/Windows: Windows ARM64 builds are available (thanks to @airtaxi). ## VS Code ### Improvements - Chat: a tool description shows the glob pattern when the tool was given one. - Sessions: a session with an agent working shows a live activity dot even while the sidebar is collapsed (thanks to @pascalandr). ### Fixes - Permissions: per-session auto-accept answers permission requests as they arrive when it is turned on. - Chat: messages that arrive right after the connection opens no longer disappear. - Chat: clicking the padding around the composer puts the cursor in the text (thanks to @IbrahimKhan12). - Chat: the `/` menu lists a skill once when a command shares its name (thanks to @IbrahimKhan12). - Usage: every Z.ai usage window shows up in the usage view.
