OxideTerm Native GPUI Preview

This is a GPUI/native preview build for testing the next-generation OxideTerm desktop app.

If you just want the most stable daily-use OxideTerm release, do not download this preview yet. Use the current Tauri/WebView release instead. This preview exists so users can try the native UI early and report parity, packaging, terminal, SFTP, port forwarding, SSH, and AI workflow issues before it becomes the default app.

What This Preview Is

• A native GPUI desktop build of OxideTerm.
• A preview channel, not the recommended stable channel.
• Built from the same product direction as OxideTerm: local-first remote server work over SSH, with terminal, SFTP, port forwarding, connection management, file workflows, and OxideSens AI context.
• Intended for users who are comfortable testing early builds and filing detailed issues.

2.0.0-gpui-preview.15

This preview focuses on cloud sync reliability, saved connection editing, terminal font ligatures, and Windows auto-update reliability.

• Cloud sync export preflight now handles managed SSH keys correctly, so connections that reference locally managed key material no longer block Gist upload with a missing key material error.
• Cloud sync upload, pull, conflict preview, rollback, and delivery-state handling received tighter state transitions and clearer failure accounting.
• Cloud sync selection now keeps unchanged local records out of write requests while still preserving remote tombstone and conflict handling semantics.
• Editing an existing saved connection can now switch from Agent or key-based authentication to password authentication and submit the newly entered password.
• Existing keychain-backed passwords still remain unloaded until explicitly revealed, preserving the previous secret-handling boundary.
• Terminal settings now include a Font Ligatures toggle. It is off by default and enables programming ligatures when the selected terminal font supports them.
• Terminal font features now flow from persisted settings into GPUI terminal rendering instead of always disabling ligature shaping.
• Windows native auto-update now stages NSIS payloads first and lets a small update helper finish replacement after OxideTerm exits.
• The Windows update helper keeps an old rollback directory during replacement and uses Restart Manager best-effort handle release before moving staged files into place.

What To Test

• SSH connection creation, saved connections, reconnect, known-host prompts, and jump/proxy routes.
• Telnet and serial connection creation, saved profiles, and session manager editing.
• Terminal tabs, split panes, command bar, quick commands, broadcast input, recording, and local shell behavior.
• SFTP browsing, transfers, previews, and remote file workflows.
• Local, remote, and dynamic port forwarding.
• Cloud sync setup, scope selection, upload/pull preview, conflict handling, rollback backups, and provider-specific OAuth flows.
• OxideSens AI sidebar, model/provider setup, context capture, tool calls, approval behavior, and credential redaction.
• Settings, i18n, theme rendering, keyboard shortcuts, and visual parity with the Tauri version.

Known Preview Caveats

• This build may still have visual parity issues compared with the Tauri version.
• Some workflows may be incomplete or rough around edge cases.
• macOS builds are not notarized unless explicitly stated in a later release.
• Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper may warn because this is an unsigned/early preview build.
• If a workflow is business-critical, keep the stable Tauri release installed as your fallback.
