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
- Desktop/Windows: added Windows ARM64 support (thanks to @airtaxi).
- UI: a new OpenChamber theme (dark and light) is now the default, replacing the previous default theme.
- Sessions: a root session can now be moved with all its sub-sessions into a new worktree directly from the header menu.
- Desktop/Linux: added a Window Controls Style setting to switch between classic rectangular buttons and macOS-style traffic lights (thanks to @kydorn).
- Files: added a global Auto-save setting under Settings → General; binary, PDF, and Office files are excluded from auto-save (thanks to @makeittech).
Improvements
- Desktop: the active session header now has a menu with rename, share, export, archive, delete, and copy-ID actions; share links copy to the clipboard automatically when created.
- Git/Diff: symlinks now appear as link entries in the diff view instead of showing their file content.
- Sidebar: sessions with active agents now show a live activity indicator even when the sidebar is collapsed (thanks to @pascalandr).
- VSCode: per-session permission auto-accept now replies to live permission requests correctly when auto-accept is turned on.
- Usage: all Z.ai usage windows now appear in the usage view.
- Chat: tool descriptions now show the glob pattern when a tool's input uses one.
- Chat: clicking in the padding area of the composer now correctly places the cursor (thanks to @IbrahimKhan12).
Fixes
- Mobile: rebuilt the app navigation around two swipe drawers — a sessions drawer (left) with a cross-project tree, swipe actions to rename, archive, or delete sessions, and a workspace drawer (right) with Changes, Files, Terminal, Notes, and MCP tabs. Tapping the session title in the header switches recents from a compact overlay with live status indicators. Cold launches reopen the last active session and land on an explicit connect screen on failure instead of flashing an empty draft.
- Performance: opening the first session after startup is faster — background startup requests no longer queue ahead of the initial message load (thanks to @yulia-ivashko).
- Terminal: switching terminal tabs no longer rebuilds the connection from scratch on each open or switch (thanks to @makeittech).
- Desktop: sticky session headers in the sidebar no longer blink or shift position during page transitions (thanks to @ChangeHow).
- Chat: the
/command menu no longer lists a skill twice when a command shares its name (thanks to @IbrahimKhan12).
