stablyai/orca v1.4.206 on GitHub

Thank you so much for using Orca and for your continued support! ❤️

Please note: It usually takes 48–72 hours for a landed PR to be released (except P0+ fixes). We have many more exciting PRs and features coming in later versions!

The short version

Agents & chat: Search your agent session history from the panel, across computers, and from orca search. OpenCode 2 is also now supported. Native chat treats plans as plans, reconnects chats that were running when Orca restarted, and OMP can pick models on desktop and mobile. Source Control AI can generate with OMP.

Workspaces, editor & source control: The compact branch picker is back in the composer, New Workspace can choose a base ref, and diffs can collapse unchanged regions. Review comments support multi-line ranges. Worktree create prefers Git first; WSL delete will not take the twin branch.

Terminal & remote: Pick a default terminal shell, search with a match count and Cmd+F parity, and configure URL-click / middle-click. Windows terminals spawn as the shell you asked for. Usage scans for Claude, Codex and OpenCode now run on a worker thread.

Mobile: Desktop can serve a mobile web bundle over the air. Tasks, files and agent history start moving onto that page shell, with clearer Back controls and a honest “host unreachable” state instead of an endless Connecting via Relay.

Quality & delivery

Nothing here changes what you see — it changes how smoothly Orca behaves under real workloads. Expanded below if you want the detail.

Performance improvements

Usage scans for Claude, Codex and OpenCode now run on a worker thread (the move called out as upcoming in v1.4.205). Terminal output skips SGR and kitty scans on plain PTY text. Automations run history virtualizes large tables.
