ดาวน์โหลด CodeNomad 0.20.0

Highlights
- CodeNomad now runs on OpenCode V2: Projects share the native OpenCode service, so desktop windows and terminal clients can work with the same session history. Closing CodeNomad leaves the shared service running.
- Long conversations stay usable: Transcript memory is bounded, full-history search finds content beyond the loaded messages, and the timeline lets you jump across an entire conversation with contextual previews.
- Move work between Git worktrees: Create and select native worktrees, move a session family together, and retain the right project and branch context as you switch tasks.
- Ask a quick side question with /btw: Get a separate, temporary answer without interrupting the main session.
- A more consistent workspace: New light/dark palettes, clearer conversation surfaces, responsive session actions, persistent search/command windows, and View-menu panel toggles make the interface easier to adapt.
- Better attachments and visual feedback: Device picking, drag-and-drop, and clipboard attachments share one workflow; project files remain available through @ references. Images returned by MCP and other tools now render directly in chat.
Upgrading from 0.19.x
- OpenCode V2 is required. The technical minimum is 2.0.7, which supplies the native step-start timestamp used by the current event reducer. 2.0.16 is the recommended and qualified runtime for this release. V1 runtimes and the former V2 beta protocol are not supported.
- Install and manage OpenCode from startup or Preferences. CodeNomad prefers an executable on PATH and can install into a shared user npm location using bundled Node/npm. Terminal clients can use the same installation.
- Runtime installation and service restart are separate actions. Updating the CLI does not silently restart an already-running OpenCode service. Compatible shared npm installations on OpenCode 2.0.15+ use native upgrade for version changes, including live Windows executable handling.
- Upgrade remote CodeNomad servers to 0.20.0 for the new UI. The published UI manifest now requires server 0.20.0 instead of advertising compatibility with the V1-based 0.19.x server.
- Git enables the complete project/worktree experience. If the backend cannot find Git, directory-scoped conversations remain available while Git-dependent functionality is unavailable.
Sessions, history, and worktrees
- Full-history search, counts, selective cleanup, and global timeline navigation work independently of the currently loaded transcript. Search includes edit diffs stored in tool metadata.
- Large transcripts load bounded windows while preserving access to complete content. Timeline markers retain tool identities, and hover/focus previews show bounded Markdown excerpts.
- Session search uses flat results with optional subsessions; normal browsing retains the parent/child hierarchy. Fork actions are available after both user and assistant messages.
- Native worktree creation, discovery, and family moves use repository ownership checks. Removing a worktree verifies and evacuates affected sessions before deleting it.
- Worktree selectors open without waiting for a fresh Git scan, and saved conversations restore before secondary Git panels and catalogs finish loading.
- Stop and double Escape no longer accidentally restart a parent session. Automatic empty-session cleanup verifies native content before removing anything.
- Active-session model choices survive prompt admission, catalog refreshes, and delayed responses instead of switching back unexpectedly.
Composer, tools, and plugins
- Attach local-device files with the native picker, paste, or drag-and-drop, and reference project files separately through @. Attachment reads follow the active draft and session rather than spilling into a newly selected conversation.
- MCP and specialized tool results can display returned images without inserting image bytes into copied text, search, or speech.
- Global and Project plugin activation switches are separate, making the scope of each change explicit. Plugin details are available from the name tooltip.
- Native Forms support provider authentication and interactive requests. Permission rejection feedback survives refreshes, and native background Shells remain separate from interactive terminals.
- Profile environment variables are refreshed before each prompt, custom command, or session shell request, including removal of previously configured values.
- Browser previews and desktop automation give agents a visible inspection-and-fix workflow with session/window targeting. Automation tools are available without a Developer Mode toggle.
Desktop continuity and interface
- Electron and Tauri support multiple UUID-backed windows with independent tabs, drafts, attachments, selection, and view state over one shared backend. Window restoration uses partitioned storage rather than one monolithic snapshot.
- Startup prioritizes the active project and conversation, including interrupted hydration and slow filesystem/Git discovery. Preferences retain their own geometry, zoom, and navigation.
- Browser authentication can recover in place after a server restart while preserving drafts, without replaying failed actions.
- Light/dark palette selections are independent of appearance mode. Settings, message cards, the composer, and panels use more consistent surfaces and controls.
- Search and command windows stay open during outside interactions. The native View menu exposes panel and timeline toggles.
- Thinking, tool visibility, token sections, and compact headers are clearer. System context updates are hidden by default; collapse preferences also apply to single-step reasoning.
- User-supplied HTML displays as literal source rather than being interpreted as chat markup.
- Turkish localization joins the existing languages, with updated coverage for V2 features.
Reliability and distribution
- Reconnection reconciles native session and pending-request state, while slow event routing no longer blocks the shared stream or other recipients.
- Windows Tauri fixes address window-state capture deadlocks, input reentrancy, and native focus/menu responsiveness. Desktop startup avoids interactive shell prompts that could block launch.
- Bundled Node is updated to 24.20.0 LTS, and desktop resources include the Node/npm tools needed for first-run runtime setup.
- OpenCode setup keeps executable selection, runtime status, installation/update, and service actions together in Preferences. Diagnostics include clearer cross-platform server information.
- Provider usage fixes include credit-based z.ai coding-plan quotas and refreshed session usage on native step/usage events.
