🪄 Maestro Cue is a new trigger-based cross-agent orchestration capability. Heartbeats, GitHub issues/PRs, file system monitors, and other data sources can bring your agents to life and pass work between one another.
💻 Major Shell Upgrade — Full-featured xterm.js terminal tabs alongside your existing AI and file preview tabs. Open multiple terminals and rename them freely.
🌐 Web UX Parity — The web/mobile interface now supports real PTY terminals, swipeable panels, notification dropdowns, and dozens of desktop-equivalent features. Full touch-friendly experience on tablets and phones.
🔗 SSH Shared History — History synchronization across multiple Maestro instances working on the same project via SSH. Each host writes per-hostname JSONL files to .maestro/history/ on the remote, so all participants see each other's work.
Changes in v0.16.8-RC
- Model/effort quick-change pills: Click pills in the input area to instantly switch AI model and reasoning effort level without opening settings
- Plan-Mode and Read-Only pills: Input area shows a Plan-Mode pill for Claude Code/OpenCode and a Read-Only pill for non-interactive agents, giving at-a-glance mode visibility
- Auto-name tabs: AI tabs are automatically named based on conversation context so you can tell them apart without manual renaming
- Settings search: Type-to-filter search in the Settings modal to instantly find any setting across all tabs
- Forced parallel execution: New shortcut and settings toggle to force all queued tasks to run in parallel, bypassing the execution queue — with a one-time acknowledgment dialog for safety
- Fuzzy slash-command search: Slash commands now support fuzzy matching so you can find commands without typing the exact name
- Web group management: Web LeftPanel now supports creating groups and moving agents between groups
- Persist active session: Maestro now resumes in the last open session when restarting
- Unread filter for agents: Cmd+U filters terminal tabs by unread status; Alt+Shift+U toggles unread mode across all tabs
