  1. v1.5.0 August 2026
    FEATURES GIT

    A real code editor, in the grid

    Open an Editor pane and Monaco — the engine behind VS Code — sits in the grid next to your agents, scoped to a worktree. Read what an agent just wrote, and edit it, without leaving the window.

    • ✦ New Monaco editor as a pane type: tabs, save, and conflict detection when a file changed on disk under you. A lazy-loading Explorer shows the tree.
    • ✦ New Diff vs HEAD where you work — +N/−M/U badges in the Explorer and changed lines marked in the gutter, so you can see what an agent touched.
    • ✦ New Drag & drop files and tabs between editor panes, or onto the workspace to open in a new one. A tab with unsaved changes carries its buffer along and asks before moving.
    • ✦ New Bring your editor's look: shiki highlighting, VS Code themes from a local file or Open VSX, and VS Code or IntelliJ settings mapped onto the editor with a preview before applying.
    • ✦ New The Hub's Explorer spans every worktree you've curated — open a file from any root and it lands in the right workspace, auto-pinned.
    • ✦ New Four more agent CLIs: DeepSeek, Grok, Qwen and Cursor. Installs go strictly through your package manager on Windows, macOS and Linux.
    • ✦ New Filter the grid by pane type — agents, editor, terminal or browser. Per-tab and transient: your real layout comes back untouched.
    • ↑ Improved Per-pane zoom and font size for the editor, and the minimap appears only when the pane is wide enough to earn it.
    • ↑ Improved Broadcast is agent-only, so typing to all panes no longer feeds your prompt to a plain shell as a command.
    • ✓ Fixed Dragging a divider no longer floods the terminal process with intermediate sizes, so agent output stops getting mangled mid-drag.
    • ✓ Fixed A crash in the editor no longer takes the app down — each editor pane has its own error boundary.
  2. v1.4.2 August 2026
    FEATURES

    Arrange your terminals inside the Hub

    The Hub now has the same Layout selector as a normal workspace, so you can arrange your curated terminals however you like — and it never touches your source workspaces.

    • ✦ New The Layout selector now works inside the Hub — pick any tiling preset for your curated terminals, or cycle alternatives with Ctrl/Cmd+L, just like a normal workspace.
    • ↑ Improved The Hub's layout is saved per-tab, so rearranging it never changes how your source workspaces look.
  3. v1.4.1 August 2026
    FEATURES

    Layout selector, now in More tools

    The manual Layout selector lives in the sidebar's More tools menu, with a cleaner outlined icon that matches the other tools.

    • ↑ Improved The manual Layout selector is in the sidebar's More tools menu, with an outlined icon that matches the other tools. Ctrl/Cmd+L still cycles through layout alternatives for the current pane count.
  4. v1.4.0 August 2026
    FEATURES TEAMS

    The Hub and Team Analytics

    Two big additions: a Hub that gathers your most-used terminals into one live workspace, and Team Analytics that shows how work flows through your team — without ranking anyone.

    • ✦ New Hub — a dedicated workspace that pulls the terminals you use most from every workspace into a single live grid. Real panes, curated with stars, always a click away.
    • ✦ New Team Analytics (Stats) — flow & health metrics for your team: commits, PRs merged, cycle time, review latency and coverage, plus PR-size distribution. Aggregate signals to spot friction, never a per-person leaderboard.
    • ↑ Improved Team Stats now sources its metrics from GitHub's GraphQL API, so commit and PR numbers populate reliably across every repo.
    • ↑ Improved Closing the Hub now asks for confirmation, so a curated set of terminals isn't lost by accident.
  5. v1.3.1 June 2026
    FEATURES

    Install an agent's CLI straight from the pane banner

    When you open a pane for an AI whose CLI isn't installed yet, the "CLI not found" banner now installs it for you — one click, a live log, and the pane opens automatically when it's ready.

    • ✦ New A one-click Install button in the "CLI not found" banner: Nest runs the agent's CLI install in-app with a live log, instead of asking you to copy a command into a terminal.
    • ↑ Improved The pane opens automatically the moment the CLI is ready, so there's no extra step after a successful install.
    • ✓ Fixed If the install fails — or finishes but the binary isn't on PATH — the banner falls back to the manual command so you're never stuck.
  6. v1.3.0 June 2026
    FEATURES

    Interactive onboarding tutorial

    A guided onboarding that runs on top of the real UI — three narrated tours that walk you through Worktrees, My Repos and Teams step by step.

    • ✦ New Three narrated tours — Worktrees, My Repos and Teams — with an illuminated spotlight over the real interface, not a separate sandbox screen.
    • ✦ New The Worktrees tour launches automatically on first run, so new users learn the core flow right away.
    • ✓ Fixed Sidebar worktree registry now drops dead and stale worktree entries instead of leaving them lingering.
  7. v1.2.7 May 2026
    PERFORMANCE

    Port attribution for reparented background processes

    Dev servers that get reparented after their shell exits are now correctly attributed to their pane on macOS and Linux.

    • ✓ Fixed Dev servers launched by AI assistants that get reparented (e.g. claude spawning a vite child that outlives the shell) are now attributed to the right pane on macOS and Linux. The fallback chain walks the full process tree instead of stopping at the direct PTY child.
  8. v1.2.6 May 2026
    PERFORMANCE

    Terminal session survives Cmd+Q on macOS

    Hiding Nest to the tray with Cmd+Q and reopening it no longer drops your active terminal session on macOS.

    • ✓ Fixed On macOS, hiding Nest to the tray via Cmd+Q and reopening it no longer drops the active terminal session — the window restore path reattaches the PTY correctly instead of spawning a fresh shell.
  9. v1.2.5 May 2026
    FEATURES PERFORMANCE

    macOS credential persistence, per-pane port attribution and auto-update fix

    Three macOS-specific bugs resolved: credentials now survive across messages, port chips show only what each pane actually owns, and Install and restart finally works.

    • ✓ Fixed macOS keychain: Claude Code credentials now persist across messages. HOME isolation was preventing the login keychain from being found — a Library/Keychains symlink is now created per account.
    • ✓ Fixed Port detection: lsof was missing the -a flag on macOS, causing it to return all TCP LISTEN sockets system-wide (ControlCenter, Discord, rapportd) instead of only those owned by the pane's process.
    • ✓ Fixed Auto-update: 'Install and restart' now actually closes and installs the update. Async before-quit tasks were keeping the event loop alive so the helper process waited indefinitely.
    • ↑ Improved Removed the global port banner above the workspace. Per-pane port chips in each pane header already show the same information more clearly.
  10. v1.2.0 May 2026
    FEATURES PERFORMANCE

    Per-device local paths and Teams crash fix

    Repo paths are now stored per machine instead of in the cloud. Each device has its own path config, and migration from v1.1.x is automatic on first boot.

    • ✦ New Per-device local paths: repo locations stored in ~/.raven-nest/local-paths.json. Each machine keeps its own mapping — no more path conflicts when the same account runs on two computers.
    • ↑ Improved First-boot migration imports existing paths from Supabase automatically for a seamless upgrade from v1.1.x.
    • ✓ Fixed Teams: crash when loading repos caused by a getRemoteUrl IPC shape mismatch after the worktrees refactor.
    • ↑ Improved Removed terminal-finished system notifications — too noisy for long-running agent tasks.
  11. v1.1.6 May 2026
    FEATURES PERFORMANCE

    BrowserCell overlay fix, port banner and git clone hang

    Critical fix: opening any sidebar or overlay no longer blacks out the app. Port banner shows correctly again, and git clone no longer hangs on large repos.

    • ✓ Fixed BrowserCell: opening the sidebar, search overlay or any modal no longer blacks out the app. The WebContentsView exclusion list was missing 9 selectors.
    • ✓ Fixed Port banner: was permanently empty after v1.1.5 due to an IPC shape change. Correctly shows listening ports again.
    • ✓ Fixed git clone: stdout pipe could fill the kernel buffer on large repos via Smart HTTP v2, causing a silent hang.
    • ✓ Fixed Whisper: pending transcription promises are now rejected on shutdown, preventing callers from hanging indefinitely.
  12. v1.1.0 May 2026
    FEATURES TEAMS

    Browser Cell, Voice and Teams Standup

    A full browser inside the grid, local-first voice input and async standups baked into Teams.

    • ✦ New Browser Cell: a real Chromium pane next to your agent, with devtools and port forwarding.
    • ✦ New Voice Input powered by local Whisper. 8 languages, audio never leaves your machine.
    • ✦ New Teams Standup: async daily updates with reactions and threading.
    • ↑ Improved GitLab parity: Issues, PRs and CI runs now match the GitHub experience.
    • ↑ Improved MCP Panel adds search, server templates and one-click duplicate.
    • ✓ Fixed Stale presence indicators when reconnecting to Teams from sleep.
  13. v1.0.1 April 2026
    FEATURES PERFORMANCE

    UI polish and EPIPE crash fix

    Post-launch UI sweep: Teams join flow, port dropdown and tab sizing redesigned. EPIPE crash in the main process patched.

    • ↑ Improved Teams join-by-code UI redesigned with a minimal Mac aesthetic — compact modal, large monospace input, full-width button.
    • ↑ Improved Browser Cell port dropdown: glassy backdrop blur, 'LISTENING PORTS' header, and a fallback to all ports when workspace scope finds nothing.
    • ✓ Fixed EPIPE crash in the main process on stdout/stderr overflow — global handler added to prevent silent exits.
    • ↑ Improved DevTools available in production builds via F12 / Ctrl+Alt+I for visual diagnostics without recompiling.
  14. v1.0.0 March 2026
    FEATURES GIT TEAMS

    Nest 1.0 · public launch

    Multi-AI workspace, native worktrees, GitHub OAuth and the first Teams release. The 1.0 we've been working toward.

    • ✦ New Multi-AI workspace: Claude, Gemini, Codex and Copilot running side by side in isolated processes.
    • ✦ New Native git worktrees with per-task dev servers and one-click PR open.
    • ✦ New Full GitHub OAuth: view, create and merge PRs, browse Issues, see CI inline.
    • ✦ New Teams activity feed with chat, GitHub events and emoji reactions.
    • ↑ Improved Diff viewer + IDE picker auto-detects VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains, Zed and Sublime.
    • ✓ Fixed Tray resume on Windows now restores all panes and layout exactly as left.
  15. v0.9.0 Beta January 2026
    FEATURES PERFORMANCE

    Tilings, Spotlight and shared snippets

    The last beta. Preset tilings, smarter Spotlight and the first taste of team-wide sharing.

    • ✦ New Tiling Layouts: 11 presets (solo, split, quad, shelf and asymmetric) cyclable with ⌘L.
    • ✦ New Automatic port detection per pane, with a click-through chip into Browser Cell.
    • ✦ New Shared snippets across team members, with one-click insert into any pane.
    • ↑ Improved ⌘K Spotlight now jumps to panes, repos, PRs and Issues from a single input.
    • ↑ Improved Cold start ~40% faster on Apple Silicon.
    • ✓ Fixed Edge case where AI panes lost their HOME after switching accounts twice.
  16. v0.8.0 Beta December 2025
    TEAMS

    Teams: join by code and invite improvements

    Skip the email flow — share a code to bring teammates into your team instantly. Multiple pending invites handled cleanly.

    • ✦ New Join a team with a shareable invite code. No email required — copy the code, send it any way you like.
    • ↑ Improved Multiple pending invites are now handled correctly — accept or decline each one independently.
    • ↑ Improved Redesigned empty state for teams with no linked repos, with clear next-step prompts.
  17. v0.7.0 Alpha November 2025
    FEATURES GIT

    Actions panel, GitLab and open source

    CI status inline for both GitHub and GitLab, a new UserMenu, and the repo is now open source under Apache 2.0.

    • ✦ New Actions panel: view GitHub Actions and GitLab CI runs inline, per worktree — no browser tab needed.
    • ✦ New GitLab integration: browse repos, create MRs and track CI alongside GitHub from the same sidebar.
    • ✦ New Nest is now open source — Apache 2.0 license, contributing guide and security policy published.
    • ↑ Improved User menu with plan, account details and sign-out. Plan gating enforced server-side via Supabase RLS.
  18. v0.6.0 Alpha October 2025
    FEATURES PERFORMANCE

    Linux is here

    AppImage and .deb packages for Debian-based distros. The full Nest experience on Linux.

    • ✦ New Linux release: AppImage (any distro) and .deb for Debian/Ubuntu.
    • ✦ New Emoji reactions in Teams now use Twemoji for consistent cross-platform rendering.
    • ✓ Fixed Zoom toggle and tab cycle working correctly in terminal focus mode.
  19. v0.5.0 Alpha September 2025
    FEATURES TEAMS

    Terminal Sharing and security hardening

    Share a live terminal session with teammates — read-only or read-write. Server-side plan gating locks Teams features behind the right subscription.

    • ✦ New Terminal Sharing: broadcast a live pane to teammates. Read-only by default, host can grant write access per session.
    • ✦ New Plan gating: Teams features require a Pro or Team subscription, enforced via Supabase RLS — no client-side bypass possible.
    • ↑ Improved Full UI internationalization — all strings extracted and translation-ready.
    • ✓ Fixed Free plan now correctly shows 2x2 grid limit and all AI providers.
