Pilot, one searchable launcher, and a leaner MCP surface (v0.30.0 through v0.32.0)
v0.32.0: Park and snooze, so a deliberate wait stops reading as demand
Park a run with a note and an optional gate. It drops into a quiet Parked band, stops counting as demand everywhere, and hands itself back the next time the gated terminal goes ready
Snooze an agent for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 6 hours, or until you interact with it; any typed input wakes it
Project group headers carry a demand chip, and a working run that has been silent for over ten minutes shows a quiet cue instead of rendering as healthy
A missing Git binary is caught at startup with a banner and a one-click install where that is safe, rather than surfacing as a raw spawn error
File paths reach git as literal pathspecs, closing a route by which discarding one file could destroy uncommitted work in another
v0.31.0: One searchable launcher, and a copy-context history
The toolbar agent and panel trays and the dock + button collapse into a single searchable launcher: same inventory, with per-row pinning, shortcut capture, preset rows, and running-state pips. The file browser now opens as a persistent grid panel from every entry point, and ships visible on the toolbar
The copy-context button becomes a dropdown: copy the full context, or re-run one of the five most recent copies for the project
An empty command palette query browses the whole action inventory grouped by category, rather than favorites plus a short recents band
Git writes resolve the branch's real push remote instead of assuming origin, so a fork-configured branch stops writing to the wrong repository
Daintree stops probing Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google every 30 minutes and on every window focus, regardless of which agents you use
v0.30.0–v0.30.1: Pilot, and an MCP surface real clients can hold
Pilot: every agent run across every project and scratch workspace in one searchable view on ⌥⌘O (Ctrl+Alt+O on Windows and Linux), grouped by project and ordered by what needs you most
The external MCP tool surface drops from 100 tools to 23. The surface itself is versioned, and returned payloads are bounded and schema-checked. Clients were silently truncating the overflow and choosing for you
Forge actions over MCP grow enough reach for an agent to run a whole work loop without leaving Daintree
The file browser feeds files straight into an agent: drag a row or press Cmd+I to send an @file reference
A relaunch restores every open project window on the project it was showing, voice dictation moves to gpt-live-transcribe, and v0.30.1 closes the routes by which one project's state reached another: terminal restore, reconnect, spawn, and workspaces with no repository
July 2026
Workspaces without a repository, and a faster, more durable app (v0.22.0 through v0.29.0)
v0.29.0: Any folder is a workspace, and a project can move
Daintree stops requiring a Git repository: any folder opens as a lightweight workspace, and git init becomes an explicit upgrade
Move or rename a project folder from inside Daintree; panels, terminals, and agent conversations follow it
A new read-only file browser panel with a resizable tree and live filesystem updates, and a file viewer that plays video and audio inline and previews PDFs through Chromium's viewer
A large durability wave protects agent sessions, typed drafts, recipes, and uncommitted work
Voice dictation moves to GPT-5.6 Luna ahead of the model shutdowns, and the correction-model dropdown is removed now that both tiers collapse to one model
v0.28.0–v0.28.1: Panels open as dialogs, and a deleted worktree keeps its agents
The file viewer, diff viewer, review workspace, and Review Hub move onto one panel model: each opens as a dialog and can be promoted into the grid
Deleting a worktree no longer kills the agents running in it: their terminals stay alive on a deleted-worktree card you can drag them out of
Agent scrollback ceiling raised from 5,000 to 10,000 lines
v0.25.0–v0.27.0: Scratch workspaces, terminal editing, and a memory pass
Scratch workspaces become a first-class place to work: nameable, with a real first-run launcher and bulk cleanup
Type-anywhere rescue routes stray keystrokes back to the agent you were talking to, and Option+←/→ jumps a word at a time in the shell line editor
Forge toolbar counts refresh off local git activity instead of a fixed timer, so merge sprees update promptly
Codex's $ trigger surfaces its Skills, Apps, and Plugins in the completion picker
Renderer memory in project views is capped while agents stream, and reclaim passes free real memory
v0.23.0–v0.24.0: A multi-file review workspace, and a 25% faster boot
Opening a multi-file changeset opens a dedicated review workspace: a file sidebar with change counts, review progress, a filter, and per-file viewed markers, and changed images get a compare view with two-up, swipe, and onion-skin modes
Cold startup is ~25% faster, switching back to a recent project is near-instant, and agent terminals appear ~5× faster
A new file viewer panel opens any text file alongside your terminals, with a rendered view for markdown
Terminals show why an agent is waiting: approval, question, error, or prompt
Automatic pre-agent git stash snapshots are removed, so agent starts no longer accumulate auto-stashes in git stash
v0.22.0: Closed agent sessions become resumable
Every terminal close journals a resume record, so a closed agent session can be reopened later from a searchable list
The empty panel grid is reworked into a recipe-forward launcher with quick actions and resume shortcuts
User plugins gain a full lifecycle: hot enable and disable, background update checks, and a startup kill-switch
The rendering pipeline prioritizes whichever terminal you are looking at under heavy multi-agent load
A "Why am I slow?" snapshot surfaces the current performance bottleneck on demand
June 2026
The plugin system reaches 1.0, and light mode is redesigned (v0.16.0 through v0.21.1)
v0.20.0–v0.21.1: The plugin system reaches 1.0, and hibernation goes away
Plugins reach their 1.0 contract: a release-ready authoring toolchain, a frozen manifest, out-of-process execution with crash isolation, and just-in-time consent for high-risk capabilities
Forge write operations land over MCP: PR create, merge, comment and edit, issue create, close and label, and PR review
Per-terminal hibernation is removed: backgrounded terminals stay live, ending the recurring agent-TUI corruption across OpenCode, Codex, Gemini, and Claude

v0.12.0–v0.12.1: Forge providers, faster cold start, and a fleet broadcast rework
Forge provider model: git host integration is no longer tied to GitHub, with the provider set per project and overridable per worktree
Faster cold start: the boot path batches its initial invoke and runs hydration concurrently, with memory-pressure handling that scales as load climbs
Virtualized worktree sidebar: rows now show dirty state, last commit, base-branch divergence, and fetch staleness
Fleet broadcast rework: per-target edit and skip, fuzzy matching in the picker, and saved fleets split into pinned and smart sets
MCP server: audit tooling with NDJSON export, time-bounded per-tool grants, and a cap on repeated auth failures
v0.12.1 follow-up: closing a grid panel feels instant, the file diff viewer loads again, the workspace sidebar no longer hangs on a project folder that has moved, and the assistant says when a saved agent is unavailable instead of quietly falling back
v0.11.0–v0.11.1: Windows feature parity with macOS and Linux
Windows reaches feature parity with macOS and Linux: NSIS and Store builds, native menus and keybindings, and UTF-8 in fallback shells
