Bohdan Triapitsyn 9f78de9e89 docs(changelog): rewrite the last thirty releases for readers
Releases 1.13.1 through 1.22.1 are regrouped by what each change is
(New, Improvements, Fixes, Misc) and reworded in the voice the
changelog-authoring skill asks for: one or two plain sentences per
bullet, the symptom or the capability named, no mechanism. Packed
bullets were split, every fact and every contributor credit kept.
Older releases keep the mechanical grouping.

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.
