AiderDesk: versionet e vjetra dhe historiku

⚠️ Important Note for macOS Users: Due to our organization migration, the code signing certificate for macOS applications has been updated. As a result, automatic updates from previous versions will not apply to this release. Please download and install v0.91.0 manually. Subsequent releases will auto-update normally under the new signature.
Highlights
🌿 Fork Tasks from Pre-Compaction History
When long-running agent tasks hit their context token threshold and trigger compaction, you no longer have to lose access to the complete conversation history. Through the Undo dropdown, you can now fork a brand-new task starting from the exact state before compaction occurred, preserving your active task while allowing you to explore alternative directions with full initial context.
🔀 Smart Checkout with Uncommitted Changes
Switching branches with uncommitted work is now seamless with Smart Checkout. When local modifications prevent a standard git checkout, AiderDesk safely stashes your tracked and untracked changes, switches to the target branch, and automatically reapplies them. If merge conflicts arise, you are guided through conflict resolution directly in the app, with recovery backup branches preserved so your changes are never lost.
⚙️ Project-Level Aider Settings and Model Defaults
You can now configure Aider settings and model defaults on a per-project basis. Customize your Main, Weak, and Architect models, reasoning effort, and CLI flags per project with clean inheritance from your global settings. Projects automatically select their assigned defaults when created, making it easy to use specialized models or configurations for different codebases.
🔗 Interactive File Links in Messages
File references in assistant messages and tool outputs are now clickable, interactive links. When working in the desktop app, clicking a file opens it directly in your default editor or file manager. When using the browser client, you can quickly download the file or copy its workspace-relative path to your clipboard with a single click.
⚡ Faster Browser Startup with Loading Progress
Web and remote browser client startup has received a major overhaul. Asset bundles are now minified, compressed with gzip and brotli, and cached for snappy repeat visits. During initial connection, a dedicated startup screen shows live download progress with automatic retry controls, ensuring a reliable boot even over slower network connections.
Other Changes
- Git & Security:
- Prevented OS command injection via commit messages and file paths in git operations.
- Resolved race conditions from concurrent git mutations on a single repository with unified repo-level locking, and made worktree uncommitted-changes recovery preserve both change sets.
- Terminal:
- Fixed terminal startup cleanup and retries, cancelling abandoned initializations and waiting for the fitted emulator before creating shell sessions (Thanks @vincentkoc).
- Fixed terminal text input on Wayland with IBus while preserving keyboard and composition handling.
- Task & Browser Performance:
- Prevented request timeouts for long-running browser prompts and task operations while keeping CLI streaming responsive.
- Eliminated database errors during application shutdown by waiting for project and task cleanup to complete.
- Observability:
- Fixed Langfuse Cloud agent tracing by migrating to OpenTelemetry ingestion and ensuring traces flush on app shutdown.
- Extensions & UI:
- Added a reusable SplitButton component with additional-action menus and support for UI extensions.
- Safely render non-JSON subagent tool results to prevent UI display issues.
- Added payload data support for log message actions while preserving existing action handlers.
- Internationalization:
- Added Italian locale support (Thanks @andrea66simonetti).
🧩 Extensions
- Cursor SDK: JSON-encoded task error results for cleaner and safer error handling.

Highlights
📁 File Editor Modal Overhaul: File Tree Sidebar, Tab Context Menus & State Persistence
Navigating and editing project files without leaving your active task just got significantly easier. The workspace file editor modal now features an integrated file tree sidebar, allowing you to browse, expand folders, and open files directly inside the editor view. We have also added tab context menus (Close Others, Close to the Right, Close All) for faster tab hygiene, alongside full editor state persistence - your open tabs, active tab, and unsaved editor content stay intact even if you close and reopen the modal or navigate between views.
⚙️ Dedicated Model Overrides for Compaction & Handoff
You can now configure separate model overrides for conversation compaction and agent handoffs in Context Management settings. High-end reasoning models are ideal for complex coding prompts, but using them for compaction summaries can consume unnecessary tokens and risk hitting rate limits. With this update, you can route background summarization and compaction workloads to faster, cost-effective models (such as Claude 3.5 Haiku, Gemini 2.0 Flash, or GPT-4o-mini) while keeping your primary frontier model focused on code generation. Learn more in the Handoff & Compaction documentation.
🎯 Editable Model Modalities & Capability-Aware Attachment Filtering
Different models excel with different inputs, and the Model Library now makes this explicit and configurable. You can view and edit supported input and output modalities (text, image, audio, video, PDF) for any provider or model. AiderDesk uses these capabilities to automatically filter incompatible file attachments before sending requests to models that cannot process them, preventing frustrating API errors. For custom or unknown model identifiers, attachments are preserved as-is so new endpoints and experimental multimodal workflows continue to work smoothly. Check out the Providers documentation for details.
🤖 Enhanced Task Tools: Prepared Tasks, Execution & Autonomy Controls
Agent task orchestration receives major improvements with expanded controls for Task tools:
- Prepared Tasks: Agents can prepare tasks with initial prompts and start or resume them later without restarting conversations.
- Execution Controls: Support for explicit execution modes (create_only, wait_for_finish, run_in_background).
- Autonomy Settings: Fine-grained autonomy levels (manual, guided, autonomous) can now be passed directly to task executions.
- Readable Tracking: Tool messages in the chat interface now display actual task names rather than raw identifiers, making multi-task workflows much easier to follow.
See the Task Tools documentation for more information.
🔌 Extension Ecosystem: Background Generation, Worktree Hooks & Custom Catalogs
This release introduces substantial capabilities for extension developers:
- Background Context Generation: Extensions can now trigger background text generation and streaming (generateText, streamText) directly within task context.
- Worktree Lifecycle Hooks: New onWorktreeCreated and onWorktreeMerged hooks allow extensions to run project-specific automation, custom environment setups, or branch synchronization scripts when switching working modes.
- Custom Catalogs & Independent Favorites: Extension model selector components can now provide custom model catalogs and maintain their own favorite selections independently from global model settings.
- Reliable Recovery: Fixed a bug where onPromptFinished was missed during agent resume and restart recovery.
