Highlights
- Web previews create a much tighter fix loop: Open a live preview from a session, highlight the exact part of the page that needs work, and tell the model what to change right from the webpage. CodeNomad sends that page and element context back into chat so the LLM can act on specific visual feedback instead of vague descriptions.
- Bringing repositories into CodeNomad is much easier: You can now clone a Git repository directly from the workspace picker, making it faster to start work on a fresh project without leaving the app.
- Searching inside long conversations is finally practical: Session history search can now find matches across messages, tool output, and related content, helping you jump straight to the part of a conversation you need.
- Sessions are easier to manage at a glance: Parent sessions now show aggregated token and cost totals across subagents, the message timeline can be hidden when you want more room, and tabs can be reordered.
- Mobile views and narrow screens feel much better: Prompt controls, message actions, timeline behavior, and other session UI pieces adapt more cleanly when space gets tight.
What’s Improved
- Smoother workspace startup: The home screen, empty states, and startup flow are clearer, and returning between active projects and the home view feels more natural.
- More useful browsing and previewing: Markdown now supports math rendering, web previews are integrated into the session flow, and unrestricted browsing respects the selected workspace root more reliably.
- Cleaner model and agent selection: Models are grouped by provider, and primary agent selection now follows OpenCode’s visibility rules more closely.
- Better prompt and attachment handling: File attachment picking is more consistent with drag-and-drop behavior, and prompt controls are laid out more clearly in compact layouts.
- More self-contained packaging: Desktop builds do a better job bundling the runtime, shipping the CodeNomad OpenCode plugin, and producing more consistent release artifacts.
Fixes
- Permission flows are more reliable: Stale permission events are ignored after a reply, permission metadata is preserved more safely, and attachment context survives more consistently.
- Idle/session indicators behave more predictably: Idle badges now stay visible until they are actually seen, and session status behavior is easier to understand across parent and child sessions.
- Desktop and packaged builds are more dependable: Bundled resources refresh more reliably, packaged session storage is isolated correctly, remote window titles are preserved, and Windows resource preparation avoids a brittle shell path.
- Compact layouts are less frustrating: Message actions, tool-call controls, timeline spacing, and prompt controls behave better in narrow center panes and smaller screens.
- Release/update navigation is clearer: Update links stay visible more reliably, making it easier to see and open release information when an update is available.
