Wave v0.14 introduces Durable Sessions for SSH connections, allowing your remote terminal sessions to survive connection interruptions, network changes, and Wave restarts. This release also includes major improvements to connection monitoring, RPC infrastructure with flow control, and expanded terminal capabilities.
Durable Sessions (Remote SSH Only):
- Survive Interruptions - SSH terminal sessions persist through network changes, computer sleep, and Wave restarts, automatically reconnecting when the connection is restored
- Session Protection - Shell state, running programs, and terminal history are maintained even when Wave is closed or disconnected
- Visual Status Indicators - Shield icons in terminal headers show session status (Standard, Durable Attached, Durable Detached, Durable Awaiting) with detailed flyover information
- Flexible Configuration - Configure at global, per-connection, or per-block level with easy switching between standard and durable modes
- See the new Durable Sessions documentation for setup and usage
Enhanced Connection Monitoring:
- Connection Keepalives - Active monitoring of SSH connections with automatic keepalive probes
- Stalled Connection Detection - New connection monitor detects and displays "stalled" connection states when network issues occur, providing clear visual feedback
- Better Error Handling - Improved connection status tracking and user-facing connection state indicators
Terminal Improvements:
- OSC 52 Clipboard Support - Terminal applications can now copy directly to your system clipboard using OSC 52 escape sequences
- Enhanced Context Menu - Right-click terminals for quick access to splits, URL opening, themes, file browser, and more
- Streamlined Header Layout - Terminal headers now focus on connection info without redundant view type labels
Wave AI Updates:
- Image/Vision Support - Added image support for OpenAI chat completions API, enabling vision capabilities with compatible models
- Stop Generation - New ability to stop AI responses mid-generation across OpenAI and Gemini backends
- AI Panel Scroll Latch - Improved auto-scrolling behavior in Wave AI panel
- Configurable Verbosity - Control verbosity levels for OpenAI Responses API
- Deprecated old AI-widget proxy endpoint
RPC and Performance:
- RPC Streaming with Flow Control - New streaming primitives with built-in flow control for better performance and reliability
- WSH Router Refactor - Major routing architecture improvements to prevent hangs on connection interruptions
- RPC Client/Server Cleanup - Improved RPC implementation and error handling
Configuration Updates:
- Hide AI Button - New
app:hideaibuttonsetting to hide the AI button from the UI - Disable Ctrl+Shift Arrows - New
