Agent Zero Release Notes

Browser — Multi-Tab & Visual Improvements

• Multi-tab awareness: The browser now auto-registers tabs opened by sites (e.g. window.open, target=_blank, ctrl-click) and supports working across multiple tabs concurrently. A new multi action lets the agent fan out reads or coordinated mutations across tabs in a single tool call, with parallel execution for different browser instances.
• Modifier-key clicks and key chords: Support for ctrl-click, meta-click, and arbitrary key chords (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, etc.) through trusted Playwright input. Modifier clicks follow Chrome focus rules, with an optional focus_popup override.
• Shadow DOM content reading: The browser page-content helper now traverses open shadow roots and assigned slot nodes, improving inspection of modern component-heavy pages.
• Screenshot previews in tool messages: Browser tool results now render clickable live thumbnails that open the Browser canvas directly from chat.
• Clipboard shortcuts in visual mode: Copy, cut, paste, and common edit shortcuts are now bridged from the Browser modal and canvas into the Playwright runtime.
• Extension management: Extensions can now be uninstalled from the Browser settings page, and openable extension UI pages are detected and exposed with an Open button.
• Draggable annotation tray: The annotations recap tray can now be dragged within the browser stage.
• Cross-tab focus stability: Background browser actions no longer steal the viewer focus; only explicit interactions promote a tab.

Desktop & Office — New LibreOffice Desktop Runtime

• LibreOffice replaces Collabora: The Collabora/WOPI runtime has been removed and replaced with a Markdown-first document store backed by LibreOffice, an Xpra virtual desktop gateway, and a persistent XFCE desktop session. Existing containers acquire dependencies through normal install hooks.
• Desktop document canvas: The Office panel is now a Desktop surface — Markdown documents use a custom tabbed editor, while DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files open in full LibreOffice sessions via Xpra. The canvas is opt-in and hidden on mobile layouts.
• Linux Desktop skill: A new skill teaches Agent Zero to operate the XFCE/Xpra desktop, including app launch, focus, click, typing, cell editing in Calc, and stable folder entry points for Workdir, Projects, Skills, Agents, and Downloads.
• PPTX generation: PowerPoint decks are now generated through the Office plugin writer with visible multi-slide content.
• Document rename: A rename action beside Save lets you rename open Office documents, retargeting active LibreOffice sessions to the new path.
• Xpra viewport stability: Resizing, modal-to-canvas docking, keyboard focus capture, cursor rendering, and clipboard bridging have all been hardened for reliable Desktop sessions.
• Desktop habitat README: New Desktop sessions include a curated README explaining the habitat concept and useful terminal commands.
• Polished Desktop defaults: Thunar shows hidden files by default; default Xfce Mail Reader and Web Browser menu entries are hidden.

File Browser

• Search and bulk actions: A new toolbar provides current-folder search, visible selection with status, and bulk copy-paths, ZIP download, and delete operations.
• Directory ZIP downloads: Folders can now be downloaded as ZIP archives directly from the file browser.

UI & Navigation

• Time Travel is modal-only: Time Travel now lives under Files in the sidebar dropdown and no longer registers a right-canvas surface.
• Sidebar polish: Remote Link and Space Agent moved into the sidebar dropdown; Scheduler UI renamed to Tasks; Chat Actions collapsed behind a persisted dropdown accordion.
• Canvas close button: An explicit close button has been added to the right canvas toolbar.

Fixes & Reliability

• Project-level plugin config fallback: Per-project plugin config overrides (including _model_config) now work correctly for all agent profiles, not just wildcard/empty ones.
• Skills selector unloading: Dynamically loaded skills are now properly removed when deactivated; skill names and paths resolve consistently as aliases.
• Time Travel snapshot resilience: Workspace .gitignore rules can no longer break snapshots; invalid shadow Git repositories are automatically repaired or quarantined and reinitialized.
• Canvas Markdown rename: Dirty or unsaved Markdown sessions can now be renamed without filesystem errors.
• Browser and Office canvases are opt-in: Tool results no longer auto-open the Browser or Office canvas; explicit user actions are required.

Integrations

• Venice embedding provider: Added Venice as an embedding provider option.
• OAuth disconnect and quota visibility: Users can disconnect their OpenAI/ChatGPT OAuth account, and remaining Codex usage quota with reset timing is now shown in OAuth settings.
