Updatify / Athas Editor | Release notes

Agent conversations are easier to control and review. Choose an agent, model, and reasoning effort directly from the composer. Agent windows can be detached, image attachments stay with conversations, and agent edits can be reviewed as diffs. The scroll-to-bottom button now stays in the right place and hides when it is not needed.

Your local sessions can follow you to the dashboard. Enable cloud session sync to upload existing conversations and new responses privately while Athas is running. The dashboard’s Sessions page shows recent activity, supports search, and refreshes automatically. You can also share editor content and agent conversations through links with access controls and optional live updates.

GitHub activity is available inside the workbench. Browse workflow runs, follow live job status, and read logs in the editor. Manage releases and deployments alongside repository activity, with links to the relevant GitHub details.

Terminal splits stay with your workspace. Drag terminal tabs into resizable panes and restore the layout when returning to a workspace. Shell integration adds command markers and navigation, clearer completion notifications, and improved Windows shell support. Terminal links support explicit modifier-click navigation and OSC 8 hyperlinks.

Continuous Agents can now keep workspace goals moving in fresh Agent sessions. Create and manage scheduled goals from a dedicated resource view with its own sidebar, pause or run them on demand, and return to the latest session without leaving the editor.

Continuous runs now fail safely instead of launching stale or duplicate work. Athas validates the selected Codex or ACP agent, isolates goals by workspace, waits while another Agent is active, coordinates multiple app windows, preserves transient failures for retry, and pauses tasks that need attention.

Coding agents are easier to discover, install, and update. Managed and system binaries are detected consistently, the agent picker exposes clear install and update states, and the bundled Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Kimi, OpenCode, and Qwen definitions now track their current upstream releases and supported platforms.

Secondary navigation now gives each tool a focused workspace sidebar. Source Control, GitHub, Docker, and Continuous Agents own their sections while the primary activity rail stays compact and free of nested subitems.

Branch and project menus remain clean while scrolling. Shared menu primitives keep search and action rows fixed, isolate overflow correctly, and keep row actions reachable while their submenus are open.

Athas 0.13.0 brings the editor into a more unified, flexible workbench. Settings now open as a workbench tab, main tabs are draggable, terminal panes integrate with the main surface, the Activity sidebar resizes live, and shared chrome is more consistent across editor, project, and tool views.

Workspace and project workflows are faster and more dependable. This release centralizes local and remote workspace lifecycle management, improves session restoration and file-provider behavior, adds project management and remote connection entry points to the switcher, and reduces resource use for inactive workspaces.

AI, agent, and review tools are substantially more capable. Agent integrations have been modernized with structured tool results, reliable session lifecycle handling, editor-selection context, and hunk-based Intelligence review. Built-in model catalogs now include Claude Fable 5.1 and Qwen 3.8 Flash, use current Mistral IDs, and default Anthropic chat to Claude Sonnet 5 while migrating saved selections.

Source Control, debugging, and navigation received focused upgrades. Review is now part of Source Control, repository and branch selection are unified, commit controls are clearer, debugger actions and breakpoints are easier to reach, Outline remains available for editor tabs, and file-tree folder arrows can be configured without compact folders being forced on.

What’s new

AI and agents, cleaned up: Skills now live inside the extensions system, so Athas can browse, install, update, and locally override them. The chat bar is calmer, provider/model/mode controls stay compact, search is more forgiving, and ACP agent events fold into one quiet activity line instead of filling the conversation with machinery. We also added broader ACP handling, better loading states, cleaner selections, chat title updates, and refreshed model/provider icons for v0, DeepSeek, and Qwen.

A much better file tree: Filtering, row actions, git status, compact folders, visibility controls, drag targets, folder whitespace actions, and sticky parent folders all landed together. The file tree should feel denser, faster, and easier to steer in large projects.

Debugger groundwork: Athas now has the foundation for debugger sessions: launch configs, adapter wiring, breakpoints, stack frames, variables, console output, and watch expressions. It is still early, but the core pieces are in place.

GitHub inside the editor: Issues, pull requests, Actions, branches, diffs, and command-palette actions got deeper integration. GitHub state is steadier, PR changes open in a real diff view, and the app uses the signed-in account token more consistently.

Settings grew up: Settings got keyboard-friendly rows, preset-aware keybindings, better selectors, import/export, appearance controls, sidebar options, UI font sizing, and fewer awkward layouts.

What’s new

Language servers, fully heard: Type hints drift in beside your variables, parameter help appears the moment you open a paren, and if the server crashes, Athas quietly picks it back up.

Hit the mic: Talk to the agent instead of typing.

Introducing Worktrees: A new panel in the Git sidebar, right beside changes and stashes.

Remote, without the detour: Connect to a remote host and it opens as a project tab — browse, edit, and switch the same way you do locally.

Extended CLI commands: athas web, athas terminal, athas remote. Three small doors into the editor.

What we fixed

Git feels calmer

fetch, push, and pull no longer freeze the editor while they run. The git actions menu always stays on screen, the gutter updates smoothly on Linux, and the pull request viewer works on older gh CLIs.

The editor stays out of your way

Inline edit has a proper toolbar and a rebindable Cmd+I. Shortcut chips everywhere in the app update the moment you change a keybinding. Pane fullscreen stops killing the terminal inside it, and the tab bar is there even when you’ve closed everything.

Terminal, less fussy

Profiles and shell selection, proper paste, ANSI codes out of tab titles, and Cmd+W focusing the right thing.

Small good things

Syntax highlighting hotfix

Syntax highlighting was silently broken in all production builds since v0.4.0. A security hardening change removed the CSP permission needed for WebAssembly, which prevented tree-sitter parsers from loading. This release restores it.

Problems pane, CLI opening, and model selector redesign

Highlights

• New Problems pane that surfaces diagnostics with quick actions — click a warning or error to jump to the source, or apply a code action right from the pane
• Open files and folders straight from the terminal with athas foo.txt or athas ., and deep links via athas://open
• The AI model selector has been completely redesigned into a single unified dropdown with inline API key and Ollama URL editors, provider icons, and full-width search across all providers
• Adjustable UI font size in Settings > Appearance — scales text and icons across the entire interface
• You can now create new files with Ctrl+N even when no folder is open

Improvements

• Default AI provider is now Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.5
• Language extension installs use bundled parser assets instead of fetching from CDN
• “Go to File” has been renamed to “Quick Open” everywhere
• XML-family files (xml, xsl, xslt, svg, plist) now get syntax highlighting
• Sticky line numbers in file preview so they stay visible while scrolling

Bug Fixes

• Language servers now properly activate after installation on Linux
• Switching between files no longer causes stale highlighting, wrong cursor positions, or scroll jumps
• Syntax highlighting works correctly after updating from older versions (stale cache issue)
• File drops work reliably on Windows, and file tree lag on large repos is reduced

What’s Changed

Syntax Highlighting — Rebuilt from the Ground Up

Every tree-sitter parser (all 35 languages) has been rebuilt from source using the latest tree-sitter-cli, resolving a long-standing WASM ABI version mismatch that silently broke syntax highlighting across most languages. Highlighting for YAML, JSX/TSX, and SQL now works correctly, and all grammars use the modern dylink.0 format expected by the runtime.

New: SQL Syntax Highlighting

SQL files are now fully supported with syntax highlighting powered by a dedicated tree-sitter grammar — previously, SQL had no highlighting at all.

Editor Polish

• The inline edit model selector now uses a cleaner sparkle icon
• GitHub PRs panel layout has been tightened for better readability

Under the Hood

• Removed the pre-built tree-sitter-wasms package entirely — all 35 parsers are now compiled from individual grammar sources during setup
• Switched YAML, Markdown, and Vue grammars to the @tree-sitter-grammars maintained forks (C-compatible scanners for reliable WASM builds)
• Updated YAML highlights query to match the new grammar structure
