Release notes now live in changelog/<version>.md (front matter with version and date, then ## App and ## VS Code sections grouped into New, Improvements, Fixes, Misc) plus changelog/unreleased.md for what has not shipped. `bun run changelog:build` renders CHANGELOG.md, packages/vscode/CHANGELOG.md, and changelog/index.json from them; `changelog:check` fails when the outputs are behind and runs in CI and in release:prepare. `oc-dev create-release` promotes unreleased.md to the versioned file dated today and rebuilds. The existing history was split mechanically: every bullet kept, sorted into groups by keyword, five hand-typed headers with one-digit days normalised to YYYY-MM-DD (the update dialog matched none of them). The generated files keep today's release headers, which the update dialog, the release workflow, and the website match by regex.

App
New
- Chat attachments: added Office and OpenDocument files (
.docx,.pptx,.xlsx,.odt,.odp, and.ods), with readable text and supported embedded images extracted before sending. Attachments also support more source-code formats, notebooks, HAR files with credentials and cookies removed, SVG and Draw.io files, and HEIC/HEIF images; the composer warns when the selected model may ignore an attachment type. - Sessions/Worktrees: idle root sessions can now be moved with their sub-sessions and uncommitted changes into a new worktree. Worktree creation also recovers when an earlier Git operation left the repository locked.
- Desktop: the app can now start directly with a saved remote instance, URL, or pairing link without requiring a local OpenCode installation or local server.
- Scheduled Tasks: tasks can now start with permission auto-accept enabled, and the permission and Run as goal controls use the same compact toggles as the chat composer.
- Desktop/macOS: added a setting to hide the menu bar item.
Improvements
- Chat/Tools: attachments returned by plugin and custom tools remain visible after streaming and refreshes, with the same image previews and file chips as chat attachments (thanks to @FrostiDrinks).
- Sidebar: projects now default to manual ordering instead of recent-activity order; explicit sorting choices remain unchanged.
- Desktop/Windows: SSH remote instances now connect through native Windows OpenSSH without relying on unsupported connection sharing. Password authentication and port forwarding work through hidden background processes, and connection failures now show the underlying SSH error instead of a generic message.
- Mobile/Terminal: opening the terminal in a mobile browser or PWA now focuses its input and opens the keyboard without an extra tap (thanks to @bashrusakh).
Fixes
- Performance: opening and switching sessions now prioritizes the selected and visible chats in large workspaces. Failed refreshes keep the existing session list, parent sessions no longer disappear when their sub-sessions load first, and session data no longer crosses between instances, projects, or worktrees.
- Chat: assistant turns now show model, agent, thinking level, duration, and time together in the footer, and replies separated by hidden system or subagent prompts display as one continuous turn. The working indicator shows the model actually producing the active response, streaming at the bottom no longer jitters, and new user messages finish their entry animation instead of snapping into place.
- VSCode/Cursor: opening a chat no longer crashes when the editor webview does not expose its usual messaging APIs, and disposed editor tabs no longer receive late streaming messages (thanks to @makeittech).
- VSCode: the active workspace is now detected before startup state is restored, preventing projects outside the editor workspace from replacing it.
- Context Panel: delayed file-open requests no longer switch the panel back to a file after you select another tab.
