Highlights
- Voice-first conversations: Start prompts with voice input, configure speech behavior from settings, and listen back to assistant responses with message playback and conversation playback controls.
- A complete Hebrew + RTL experience: CodeNomad now ships with a full Hebrew locale and much broader right-to-left support, making the app feel natural for Hebrew users while improving Arabic text rendering too.
- A much faster experience in long chats: The new virtualized message list, deferred markdown and diff rendering, and more selective loading for heavy UI surfaces make large sessions feel noticeably smoother.
What's Improved
- More flexible speech controls: Speech settings and playback modes now adapt better to different browsers and platform capabilities.
- Cleaner prompt workflow: The prompt includes a quick clear action, a simpler recording indicator, and a more polished mic control layout.
- Faster startup and lighter heavy views: Locale bundles, overlays, right-panel viewers, picker flows, markdown, and diff surfaces all load more lazily to reduce upfront UI work.
- Less notification spam: Subagent sessions no longer fire OS notifications, so important interruptions are easier to notice.
- Better RTL behavior across the whole interface: Session names, tool outputs, markdown blocks, file views, selectors, and layout controls behave more consistently in right-to-left contexts.
Fixes
- More reliable Windows desktop behavior: Process cleanup is stronger during app shutdown, background CLI process trees are terminated more reliably, desktop identity/metadata is aligned more cleanly, and stray console windows are hidden during startup and exit.
- Cleaner shutdown on macOS and Linux: Desktop quit/close now stops the spawned CLI process group more reliably, reducing leftover background processes after exit.
- Restored desktop actions: External links in the folder picker work again, and the desktop View/Window controls plus the fullscreen shortcut are back.
- More stable streaming and scrolling: Reasoning streams stay pinned more consistently, follow behavior is less jumpy, spacing is cleaner in virtualized conversations, and session switching retains position more smoothly.
- Safer slash command pasting: Pasted placeholders are resolved correctly before slash commands run, so long pasted inputs behave like normal prompts.
- More dependable desktop packaging: Tauri prebuild now refreshes the server UI bundle correctly, which avoids packaged desktop builds picking up stale UI assets.
- Clearer speech compatibility handling: Streaming playback limitations are surfaced more cleanly instead of failing in a confusing way.
