Ovis v0.4.15

on GitHub

Added

• Files → Changes compares a branch against a base of your choosing: a Branch scope with a
  base picker that lists the repository's local and remote branches (or takes a typed branch or
  commit), and reads what the branch changed since its merge base with that base, untracked files
  included, so what the base went on to change stays out. Each file's patch is read from the
  comparison the list answered with: a base that moves on changes nothing until Refresh, and a
  moved HEAD asks for one. A base that names no commit, a repository with no commit yet and a base
  sharing no history with HEAD are each refused by name, with nothing compared in their place.

• Mute alerts for one agent from its row's menu in the Agents list (the ⋯, a right-click or the
  context-menu key): the pane then raises no push (a browser's or the phone app's), in-app alert,
  chime or tab notification on any device or browser of the server, while its status is still drawn. The choice is shared with the
  other browsers like the pins, keyed by the PC and pane, and Unmute alerts tells only what
  changes after it. A watching device sees the state and cannot change it.
  (#1848)
• A running Claude Code subagent in the background-task list opens a read-only sheet with the
  prompt it was given, what it has written and the tools it called so far, read from its own
  transcript on request and bounded; Refresh reads it again. A background command, another
  agent's task and a PC with an older bridge say so instead.
  (#1842)
• A filter field above the sidebar's lists narrows the PC, workspace and agent rows to the ones whose
  labels match what is typed (the command palette's fuzzy matcher), in their usual order with their
  pins and folds; the selected pane's row and the rows over it stay, marked Selected. The query
  is never saved: it is empty again after a clear, Escape, closing the phone's drawer or a reload.
  (#1851)
• ovis.sh has a Beta page (https://ovis.sh/beta/, in English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and
  Korean) with two short steps for a tester: install Ovis on the computer, then join the iPhone
  TestFlight beta or the Android Google Play closed test. Every page's footer links to it.
  (#1910)
• On a phone, the terminal's key bar has a Paste key: it reads the clipboard from that tap alone
  and puts the text into the input line at the caret, never into the grid, and drops a read that
  answers after the line, its caret or a composition changed, or the pane, the mode or the
  connection did. Beside Send, the input line has Insert: it types one line into the terminal
  without Enter, so a path or a flag can be put at the prompt and edited there. The line clears
  only once the PC confirms the terminal has the text; a refusal, a dropped connection or an
  older PC keeps it with a note, and nothing is sent again on its own. Several lines are not
  inserted: the line says to send them or insert them one at a time.
  (#1853)

Changed

• A chat tool card names its files from the pane's folder, as the file browser does: in a pane on
  /work/app, /work/app/src/a.ts reads app/src/a.ts. Its tooltip, the file it opens and a
  copied label keep the whole path, and a file outside the folder still reads as written.
  (#1837)
• Todo updates an agent makes one after another fold into one row in the chat's work block: the
  current list with its progress, how many updates are still pending or failed, and every update
  in order when opened. Narration or any other step between updates keeps them apart.
  (#1846)
• The chat says a plan update succeeded only when the transcript records it: Claude Code's
  results do; Codex and other agents record no outcome, so their latest list carries
  "outcome not recorded" instead of a success claim.
  (#1846)
• Ovis for Mac opens Ovis in its own window, like a native app, as soon as the server runs: no
  more QR code and "Open in browser" first. The setup and the phone's QR code move to Ovis → Phone
  Setup…, and show first only while Ovis is not installed or not running. File → Open in Browser
  stays, links to other sites open in the default browser, and the window comes back to Ovis by
  itself once the server runs again.
  (#1920)
• On a Windows PC, the download button on ovis.sh now downloads Ovis.exe instead of copying the
  PowerShell install command.
  (#1924)

Fixed

• Turning alerts back on no longer lets a pending visibility retry remove this device's push
  subscription.
  (#1871)
• In the Android app with 3-button navigation, the message box and the terminal's key bar no
  longer sit under the navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen (with a floating keyboard,
  on Android System WebView 144 and later).
  (#1914)
• A message sent from Chat while you were reading older turns now takes the chat back to its end
  once the PC accepts it, and the reply is followed there. Scrolling, paging or jumping before the
  message shows keeps the place you chose, and a message that was refused, queued or sent from
  another browser never moves the chat.
  (#1831)
• Chat stops following new output when the reader drags the scrollbar up a little after holding
  it still, instead of only when the drag starts within half a second of the press.
  (#1902)
• A pane running claude attach with options before attach, the start of the job's id or part
  of its name also shows the background job's conversation, found the way Claude finds the job. A
  job that cannot be told for certain keeps the terminal.
  (#1897)
• Chat's command menu, and the terminal handoff of a command that needs the terminal, come back on
  their own after the pane's command list failed to load (a dropped connection, a restarting
  bridge), instead of staying empty until the pane is opened again.
  (#1893)
• pi: /name Release 1, /model <id> and pi's other commands given an argument are no longer taken
  for terminal screens.
  (#1893)
• An omo pane is typed into as omo even when an omo-looking helper process is listed before the omo
  that holds the session.
  (#1893)
• OpenCode v2: the builtins both TUIs share are shown as verified on a v2 pane, as on v1.
  (#1893)
• Claude Code: a bundled skill run by its slash command (/code-review, /simplify...), or a skill
  of your own named like one, shows as skill activity.
  (#1893)
• A connection diagnostics report whose body takes more than 10 seconds to arrive is cut off, so a
  device sending one slowly can no longer hold every report slot and get other reports refused.
  (#1883)
• Pasted and attached files no longer show up in the project's Git status: the default
  .ovis folder now ignores itself, and its files still open by the path the prompt
  names. An ignore file already in that folder, or an OVIS_PASTE_DIR folder, is left as is.
  (#1830)
• A rendered HTML page, its own pictures, scripts and stylesheets, and the videos it plays from the
  server, are read from the file that was checked, so a folder swapped on the way afterwards can
  no longer put another file in their place. An HTML file that is a symlink takes its pictures,
  scripts and stylesheets from the folder of the file it leads to.
  (#1892)
• With Settings → Terminal → Follow herdr's focus on, a split this device opens itself (Split pane
  right and open it) keeps the keyboard in the new pane and adds a Back entry, even when herdr's
  focus moving there reaches this device before the split's answer. The setting's description now
  says that a PC on Ovis older than 0.4.13 does not report herdr's focus.
  (#1887)
• A message sent from the chat or the terminal's input line can no longer end its own bracketed paste
  early: a paste marker pasted into it is dropped, and the bridge refuses a message whose text and
  typed bytes disagree or that holds terminal control characters, before anything is typed or a
  terminal draft is cleared. The draft stays with the reason.
  (#1840)
• The phone app can recover damaged notification keys without reinstalling. Open each PC in the
  app to refresh its push subscription; until then, its alerts may show only the fallback text.
  (#1880)
• On Linux, a pi pane started with its own PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR draws its context ring against
  the windows in that directory's model catalogs, not the ones in the server's. A pane whose
  profile cannot be told (its environment cannot be read, and its session store is shared rather
  than the one inside the server's own agent directory) draws no ring instead of the server's.
  (#1899)
• A release installed in the app from 0.4.13 or older now gets its Rust PTY host too: the updater
  of those versions builds a release without fetching it, so its terminals ran on Node, or were
  mirrored on a PC without Node. The new release's supervisor fetches the host in the background
  and checks it as an update does, and the next terminal runs on it.
  (#1913)
• Dictation into the terminal in Safari (Mac, iPad and iPhone) types the corrected phrase once,
  instead of losing it or typing every draft of it before the final one. A phrase dictated while
  the pane is view-only is not typed later, and one dictated while the pane is not ready waits in
  the held input until you send or discard it.
  (#1850)
• With the key bar's Ctrl held, a Korean syllable still being typed in Safari is typed before the
  chord or key-bar key, instead of being turned into the chord and lost.
  (#1850)
• A touch swipe on a terminal no longer sends a leftover scroll step after a key, a disconnect, a
  pane switch, the observe role or a released attach: each of them ends the swipe. A fast swipe's
  scroll steps are spread over the next few frames, at most six per frame, instead of all at once,
  and every step still arrives.
  (#1852)
• A release's Ovis for Windows attach no longer fails: its swap marker is no longer an empty file, which
  GitHub refuses to upload.
