codeg 0.39.0 አውርድ

This one lets an agent write your commit messages, lets a command run on your own computer even from a remote folder, and lets codeg-server sign people in through a proxy such as Cloudflare Access instead of its access token.
Alongside that: Recent in the sidebar lists what you used last, on Windows an update waits for Restart to update and no longer stops at "Failed to kill codeg", the Linux AppImage no longer hands its own libraries to agents and the terminal, and a phone that comes back to the page gets the rest of the reply.
New
- An agent can write your commit message: the ✨ button by the commit box, in the Changes tab and the commit window, has the agent of the conversation you're in write one from exactly what will be committed, taking anything you've typed as a hint, and adds no conversation to your list. (#931 requested by @trueai-org, #928 by @Time-w)
- With untracked files around, the ✨ button first asks which of them the message covers, and Enter then commits exactly those, with a line under the commit box saying how many it will take.
- Commit message settings… in the More Git actions menu chooses who writes the message and how: a fixed agent, model and options, instructions it always follows such as the language or format, and committing as soon as it's written, for all folders or just one project.
- Manage commands has a Run on this computer switch, so a command such as opening the remote folder in your local VS Code or Zed over SSH runs on the computer with the desktop app, and Show in all folders keeps it at hand across folders, worktrees and remote connections. (#974, @fengpanhe)
- codeg-server can sign people in through a proxy such as Cloudflare Access: with CODEG_AUTH=proxy-jwt, a browser the proxy has let in no longer asks for the access token, which codeg-cli and scripts that bypass the proxy keep using, as the proxy sign-in guide explains. (#985, @MagTer)
- Grok's custom model card can declare the model's reasoning-effort levels, so the composer offers a reasoning-effort selector for a custom model too. (#993 requested by @HOMEFTW)
Improved
- Recent in the sidebar lists the conversations you used last instead of the ones created last, ten at a time, with each row showing when it was last active, and Chat rows show their last activity too. (#1010, @Flyneen)
- On Windows, a downloaded update waits for you to click Restart to update, as on macOS and Linux, instead of closing codeg the moment the download finishes, and an install that fails says so and can be tried again.
- The commit box in the Changes tab grows with the message, with Shift+Enter for a new line while Enter still commits.
- Clicking a delegation card unfolds the full task the sub-agent was given, and a resumed sub-agent's card shows there why it was resumed.
- The sidebar can be dragged narrower on Windows, Linux and in the browser, since only the macOS app needs room for its window buttons.
- Pi's model selector lists only the models your enabledModels setting allows. (#989, @xyalter)
- ZCode takes pasted and uploaded images and PDFs, and keeps each reply's token usage and time after you reopen a conversation. (#1003, #1005, @jackie-cqz)
- Claude Code moves to claude-agent-acp 0.94.0, and along with newer CodeBuddy, Cursor, Kimi Code, Qoder, ZCode and Command Code, a Claude Code fork sub-agent's card now shows its real report instead of "Fork started".
Fixed
- Updating codeg on Windows no longer stops at "Failed to kill codeg" while Windows or an antivirus is checking codeg.exe.
- In the Linux AppImage, the agents, terminals and other programs codeg starts get your system's own environment instead of the AppImage's, so on Ubuntu 26.04 installing and starting agents, npm and terminal commands no longer fail with "LIBSYSTEMD_254 not found". (#983 reported by @yanvigdev)
- A phone that puts the page in the background mid-reply gets the rest of the reply when it comes back, without reloading the page. (#386 reported by @wuzhaozhongguo)
- Behind a sign-in proxy such as Cloudflare Access, a page whose proxy sign-in has expired shows Sign-in expired with a Reload button, instead of trying to reconnect forever. (#984, @MagTer)
- A message sent on the canvas while the agent is still answering stays in the input with a notice, instead of disappearing. (#991 reported by @SeeSeaStar)
- A sub-agent waiting on you shows its permission, question or plan prompt in one card only, instead of one more card each time the agent checks on it.
- A new conversation no longer shows Load background activity right after its first message.
- An agent removed outside codeg, or lost with a switch to another Node version, no longer reads as installed in Settings. (#990 reported by @BillyOutlast)
- Grok installed with its own installer is found in ~/.grok/bin, also on Windows. (#994 reported by @HOMEFTW)
- The Codex settings no longer write options current Codex ignores, and the WebSocket switch is gone for Official Subscription, where it broke every turn, while Fast stays in the composer.
- The forge panel's open repository button works for a self-hosted GitLab or similar served over http, on its own port or under a subpath. (#997 reported by @run19910607)
- A pull-request task whose pull request was force-pushed reports only its own changes, on its card and in its done comment, instead of everything the base gained meanwhile.
- A project's .pi/mcp.json now asks for project trust before Pi starts the servers it lists.
Note
- Once 0.39.0 has run, 0.38.0 no longer starts on the same data, because this version adds to codeg's database: codeg-server's Roll back would restore a 0.38.0 that won't start, and so would reinstalling an older desktop app, so copy codeg's data folder before you update if you may want to go back.
- On Windows, the update from 0.38.0 still closes codeg to install as soon as the download finishes, because the version you update from decides that, and later updates wait for Restart to update.
- Run on this computer is only in the desktop app, and a remote folder's host has to be on 0.39.0 to save the switch on a folder's command: until then, turn on Show in all folders to keep the command on your computer.
