v2.0.0 — March 13, 2026

EricBuild is now a full IDE. This major release transforms the AI-powered terminal into a complete development environment with code editing, language intelligence, debugging, git integration, voice input, and much more. Many features are still work-in-progress — expect rapid iteration.

🚀 New Features

• Built-in Code Editor — Full editor with tabs, split panes, dirty indicators, breadcrumb navigation, and persistent state across tab switches.

EricBuild v1.7.1

🚀 New Features

• File Explorer — Browse your project files in a dedicated side panel with filtering, toolbar actions (new file/folder, collapse all, refresh), and tree navigation.
• Conversation History — View, search, pin, archive, and delete past conversations from a dedicated history panel. Conversations are grouped by time (Today, Yesterday, Last 7 Days, etc.) with a context menu for quick actions.
• Editor Integration — Opening a file that's already in an editor tab focuses it instead of opening a duplicate.

⚡ Improvements

• Orchestration Panel — Panel width is now remembered between sessions, including collapsed state.

EricBuild v1.6.1

🚀 New Features

• Agent Profiles — Create and manage reusable agent profiles with roles (Solo, Orchestrator, Team, Runner), default skills, MCP server allowlists, and capability restrictions.
• MCP Server Allowlists — Restrict which MCP servers each agent can access, giving you fine-grained control over agent capabilities.
• Agent Catalog — Browse and manage agents, skills, and MCP servers from a unified catalog in Settings.
• Agent Management Tool — AI can now create, update, delete, and configure agent profiles on your behalf.
• Context Size per Agent — Set how much of the context window each agent uses (25%–100%).

⚡ Improvements

• Settings UI — Agents are now grouped by role for easier navigation. Shared catalog items can be removed from your library without permanent deletion.

EricBuild v1.6.0

🚀 New Features

• OpenAI Reasoning Context — Reasoning/thinking blocks from OpenAI o-series models are now captured and passed back in multi-turn conversations, so the AI maintains its chain of thought across messages.
• Model Modes — Set reasoning effort per model (Auto / Low / Medium / High) directly from the input bar or agent profile.
• Pane Settings Persistence — Your selected model, mode, auto-approve setting, and working directory are now saved and restored when you reopen a pane or restart the app.
• Split Pane Inherits Settings — Splitting a pane copies all settings (model, agent, mode, reasoning, auto-approve) to the new pane.

⚡ Improvements

• Anthropic Extended Thinking — Thinking blocks are now correctly passed back in multi-turn Anthropic conversations.

1.5.0

🚀 New Features

• OpenAI Adapter — Full support for OpenAI's Responses API including web search, reasoning, file management, and code interpreter tools.
• Interactive Terminal Input — Terminal commands that prompt for input (passwords, confirmations, read prompts) now work correctly — the AI's end-of-command marker no longer interferes.

⚡ Improvements

• Terminal Rendering — Progress indicators that update in-place (like dotnet publish) now render correctly instead of stacking new lines.
• Temperature Disabled Option — Set temperature to -1 to skip sending it to the model entirely. Fixes errors with models like Codex that don't support the parameter.
• "Search Complete" State — Web search tool now shows a clear completed state in the UI.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed non-zero exit codes from terminal commands being incorrectly treated as success.
• Fixed a stray newline being consumed by the next interactive prompt after running a command.

EricBuild v1.4.1

⚡ Improvements

• Skill Rejection Feedback — When you decline a skill activation, a clear message is shown in the conversation so the AI knows the skill wasn't applied.
• Token Estimation — Improved accuracy of token counting during context compaction, reducing unnecessary memory pressure.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed tool result expand/collapse buttons not working correctly in some conversations.
• Fixed a CSS styling issue where login page styles were leaking into other parts of the UI.

EricBuild v1.4.0

🚀 New Features

• Default Model from Admin — Set a default model in the Admin panel. All panes and agents use it automatically unless overridden. The input bar shows the admin default in the "Auto" label.
• Auto-Retry on Overload — When the AI provider returns a rate limit or server error, EricBuild automatically retries up to 5 times with exponential backoff (2s → 32s). A status indicator shows when a retry is in progress.

⚡ Improvements

• Monaco Editor Stability — Rewrote the editor pool to fix DOM errors and incorrect sizing when editors are reused across panes.
• Tool Result Size Cap — Tool results are now capped at 100KB to prevent oversized responses from bloating the AI context.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed tool approval panels collapsing when you click the header while a tool is running or waiting for approval.
