Fixes (6) ›
- Preserves partial responses on mid-stream connection drops
Connection drops during mid-stream responses will now preserve partial responses instead of displaying a raw error, and the running tool spinner will no longer remain stuck. This improves the robustness of interactive sessions.
- Fixes mouse-wheel scrolling regression in WSL2/Windows Terminal/VS Code
The issue with mouse-wheel scrolling not functioning correctly in WSL2 environments, specifically within Windows Terminal and VS Code, has been resolved. This reverts a regression introduced in version 2.1.172.
- Resolves sandbox glob error affecting Linux sessions
A sandbox `denyRead`/`allowRead` glob over large directory trees, which could cause an enormous Bash tool description and render Linux sessions unusable, has been fixed.
- Corrects feedback survey and welcome screen banner display
The feedback survey will no longer incorrectly capture single-digit replies as session ratings, and the welcome screen will now display at most one promotional banner per session, preventing multiple banners from stacking.
- Restores expected behavior for subagent transcripts and input focus
Fixed Ctrl+O to correctly show a subagent's transcript when viewing it, and clicking the prompt input will now reliably return focus from subagent or footer panels.
- Ensures remote session background tasks reflect accurate status
Background tasks in remote sessions will no longer appear stuck as 'still running' between turns, providing a more accurate representation of task status.
