  1. 1.4.244

    LatestPatch

    OpenNavo editorial Added to Homebrew

    CompatibilitymacOS 11 or later

    Adds interface languages and speeds up workspaces, chats and remote file handling.

    • Adds German, Russian, Turkish and Traditional Chinese, with broader interface translations. German is machine-translated.
    • Prepares hovered and adjacent workspaces for faster switching; dragging a sidebar row no longer switches workspaces.
    • SSH and paired-server files support media playback, text saves up to 50 MB and paged large folders. Some fixes require the server to update too.
    • Improves streaming chats, file suggestions and Codex history storage; Claude chats can rewind before the first message. Adds Google cookie clearing and Vivaldi cookie imports.
    • Fixes terminal freezes, WSL session restoration and mobile dictation. Keeps the v1.4.243 terminal host, so host-level fixes apply after it restarts. iOS setup links now point to the App Store.

  2. 1.4.243

    Patch

    OpenNavo editorial Added to Homebrew

    Adds experimental browser extensions and lets terminal agent conversations continue in Chat.

    • Chrome Web Store extensions are available after enabling Browser extensions in Experimental settings and restarting. They work only in local profiles; ad blockers do not block yet and some extensions are unsupported.
    • After Claude or Codex exits a terminal, the conversation can continue in Chat while the terminal tab stays open. Adds chat math, queued-message reordering and a prompt before closing active chats.
    • Loads local worktrees before terminal restoration. Adds compact menus, Markdown highlighting and update checks through the configured proxy.
    • Worker heartbeat intervals are configurable, including off. Defaults remain every 5 minutes; changes apply to new workers. Settled workers stop command polling.
    • Fixes terminal history on Windows resizing, wake-up folders, macOS bash tracking and remote clipboard copying. New terminals use a fresh host; existing terminals stay on the previous host.
    • Mobile adds light and dark themes, iPhone Duo support, PDF viewing and copy buttons, with shared desktop rules for chats, source control and terminals.

  3. 1.4.242

    Patch

    OpenNavo editorial Added to Homebrew

    Reduces terminal resource use and improves agent permissions, subagent navigation and remote sessions.

    • Open Claude subagent transcripts from the sidebar or dashboard. Navigation is enabled with Claude status hooks; existing sessions need relaunching. Disabling it removes its added shortcut.
    • Codex Ask mode now requests approval before workspace edits. Other permission modes and running grants stay unchanged; paired servers need updating for the new behavior.
    • Resumed Claude sessions preserve effort and launch flags, while Codex keeps its last permission. Remote Claude terminals can continue in Chat on updated paired servers.
    • Paired servers retain tabs across restarts and keep closed tabs closed. WSL connections use less memory through bash, falling back to Node, and avoid repeated pairing.
    • Reduces idle terminal CPU and terminal-host memory after a host restart. Fixes cross-platform input, automation timing and workspace issues; mobile explains unreachable computers and redraws long chats less.
