Slate Terminal 0.2.1

Slate Terminal 0.2.1

This release adds terminal search and history tools, restores more of your workspace, and improves how agents work with Slate.

Terminals and workspaces

• Find text in a terminal and retrieve or export retained scrollback.
• Keep Bash command tracking working with history disabled and strict-mode startup settings.
• Reopen workspaces with their working directories, browser locations, and window positions.
• Edit saved layouts with clearer pane previews and per-pane working directories, then reopen them through dedicated launchers.
• Get started with a responsive SLATE welcome banner and clearer onboarding controls.

Agents and plugins

• Start tracked terminal operations, reconnect to check their status, and wait for results without losing the operation when a client disconnects.
• Inspect complete machine-readable contracts for the shared API and commands, including in-app updates.
• Plugins can declare required API versions and capabilities. Slate checks compatibility before running them.

Automation behavior changes

terminal.capture now returns the active screen. Use terminal.history when you need retained scrollback.

A terminal.run timeout or client disconnect ends the wait; the operation remains tracked and the pane stays busy until it settles. Submission failures are recorded as submissionFailed. Operation handles last for the current app and terminal session; they are not restored after restarting Slate.

Updating

Updates still require an explicit Install and Relaunch confirmation. Release notes are now shared between GitHub and the in-app update window.

Requires Apple Silicon and macOS 27 or later.
