Release list
Intelligent Terminal v0.1.1841
This servicing release focuses on several community-requested improvements and features, such as improving agent session management/history, support for GitHub Enterprise sign-in, a batch of agent pane quality of life updates, and reliability + shell-context fixes!
Features and Improvements
Improved Session Management
- Unified agent session history is now sourced from the agent itself. All session history is now read from the running agent's ACP session/list instead of parsing per-CLI, giving one uniform, more reliable path. The session management UI (hotkey:
Ctrl+Shift+/) is now faster to load sessions. #305, #365 - Want to quickly refresh the sessions list in the agent management UI? Now, press F5 to refresh the session list. This re-scans history on demand so sessions that appeared after launch (for example, a CLI session started in another shell shows up without restarting). #344
Image Paste in the Agent Pane Now Supported
- Paste clipboard images into the agent chat with
Alt+v. Screenshots and copied image files are sent to the agent as an ACP image content block. Support for your agent handling images relies on the agent's image support. #354
GitHub Copilot Enterprise Now Supported
- GitHub Enterprise Copilot sign-in. Press E on the auth screen to enter your GHE (e.g. *.ghe.com) domain and sign in; the last-used host is remembered and the device- verification URL follows it. Previously sign-in was hard-coded to github.com. #362
Shell Context and PATH Awareness
- Intelligent Terminal now always understands which shell you're working in better. For example, even after a nested shell (pwsh → wsl → exit) returns, auto-fix no longer suggests PowerShell commands inside a WSL/bash pane. #345
- Auto-fix and "how do I use X" answers now investigate the live environment first. Your agent checks whether a command actually exists on PATH (and surfaces local scripts / near-matches for mistyped commands) instead of giving generic advice or missing a non-existent command. #306
Bug Fixes
- The agent now reports a consistent degraded state and requires /restart instead of appearing half-alive. #329
- Fixed the first-run experience false-blocking when an execution-policy probe timed out under load. #336
- Fixed bash shell integration so PROMPT_COMMAND is safe under set -u (no more errors in strict-mode shells). #340
- Fixed a post-login auth loop caused by a stale shared agent CLI. Sign-in now recovers instead of looping. #342
- Session titles no longer show a bare "# AGENTS.md instructions" Codex heading. #355
- Agent panes are no longer persisted into the saved window layout, so they don't reappear unexpectedly on restore. #360
- Pressing Esc out of session management now restores the agent pane to its pre-entry state. #343
- Improved logging for clarity. #298
- Auth state is now detected via native Windows APIs for improved security #368
- New end-to-end UI test framework (ItE2E) that drives Intelligent Terminal through real user flows, plus expanded agent-pane coverage, a release-coverage report, and fixes for flaky harness behavior. #335, #356
- More deterministic first-run-experience testing: execution-policy coverage is now driven through the registry so results don't depend on machine state. #338
- Spelling / CI hygiene: kept the check-spelling workflow alive past a stale secpoll workaround and cleared unrecognized-word and forbidden-pattern flags. #358, #361
💜 Community
A huge thank you to the external contributors who helped make this release:
- @adityabagchi24: agent-created terminals now inherit the active pane's profile (e.g. an agent working in an Ubuntu session spawns new tabs in Ubuntu, not the default PowerShell profile). (#366, closes #351)
We'll keep iterating on bugs and feature requests rapidly while Intelligent Terminal is in this experimental stage. Please file issues to help us make this product better!
Intelligent Terminal v0.1.1681
This is the first servicing release of Intelligent Terminal, with a minor version update and several requested features + bug fixes.
Features and Improvements
- Intelligent Terminal now supports Windows 10 (10.0.19041.0+) and later, no longer crashes on unsupported versions. #170, #197, #199, #237
- Adds Bash and WSL Bash auto-error-detection and fix suggestion support, no longer limited to PowerShell. #222
- Introduces the
/fixslash command in the agent pane, which allows users to manually ask the agent for a fix to the shell output/error, regardless of whether auto-detection or auto-fix is enabled/disable. #195
- Introduces a per-agent-pane
/modelpicker, allowing agent models to be switched on the fly without restarting. #227
5. Introduces the ability to customize the appearance of the agent pane, by including it as a Profile in Intelligent Terminal settings. #234
- Improves session management even without installed hooks, displaying minimal status for users creating or resuming agents via the agent pane or Command Palette. #288
Bug fixes
- Improved the first-run setup experience with a clearer GitHub Copilot install flow, a modal progress overlay during save/install, and a faster, optimized hooks installation step: #201, #262, #281
- Fixed empty agent session views after first login so the first tab's agent session reconnects and shows your conversation instead of appearing blank: #188
- Fixed stale session/tab state on pane close so closing a pane or tab from the UI correctly reports the connection as closed and keeps the agent's view accurate: #198
- Fixed agent executable path resolution so the correct agent is always found, preventing the agent pane and autofix from silently failing: #217
- Trimmed unnecessary data from internal event reporting so agent command-result monitoring runs lighter and faster: #216

A huge thank you to the external contributors who helped make this release:
- @arkthur (Ítalo Masserano) — added the Execution Policy setting command note for both PowerShell hosts (#213)
We will continue to iterate on bugs and feature requests rapidly with Intelligent Terminal as we're in this experimental stage. Please file issues to help us make this product better! We'll also be sharing some of the new features we're investigating on our roadmap for community feedback soon!
Intelligent Terminal v0.1.1521
This is the first experimental release of Intelligent Terminal, with the initial set of features.
Features
- Agent pane: a docked, context-aware chat pane with your agent CLI of choice.
- Error detection: catches command failures and offers one-keypress fixes via the agent.
- Background agent tasks: complex or multi-step agent work runs in separate tabs so your shell stays focused.
- Agent management panel: track all active and past agent sessions across tabs in one place.
- Command palette agent integration: type ? followed by a prompt to kick off agent tasks without leaving your workflow.
- Agent client protocol support: works with any ACP-compatible agent CLI. GitHub Copilot CLI is the default.
- Agent settings: configure agent, model, pane placement, and auto error detection from Terminal settings.
