1.41.5 - 2026-11-06

Release Notes

Everything since the last published GitHub Release (v1.41.0). Tags v1.41.1–v1.41.4 existed but did not publish (release workflow YAML could not be dispatched). This cut is 1.41.5.

1.41.5

• Release workflows: GPG key import no longer uses an unindented heredoc, so release.yml can be dispatched. Signing and Arch .pkg.tar.zst publish can run when GPG_PRIVATE_KEY is set.
• Send: a 502 "A Sand box session is not permitted on this endpoint" is diagnosed as a server-side session restriction, with a /login desktop (or /login cursor) path, and no follow-up "Delivery unknown".
• Sidebar: refresh drops deleted/archived/hidden bots; the local bot cache replaces the account set so removed bots cannot reappear.
• Chat: images and other media attached to a message render inside the bubble.
• Notices live in a scrollable panel capped at 7 rows (header plus up to 6 lines). Repeated "Gateway session refreshed via Cursor token." notices are shown once until cleared.

1.41.4

• Side conversations in chat: agent-to-agent and Cursor cloud-agent traffic show as cards (↔ agent: … / ▣ cursor-agent: …). [view conversation] (or F11 / /card) opens the thread in a modal.
• Mouse support on slash-command Tab completion: hover highlights, click accepts, click outside restores what you typed.

1.41.3

• Chat attribution: only real user/human prompts are labelled as you. Bot and coding-agent reports are no longer shown in a "you" bubble from substring matches on role/kind. Stored roles are repaired on the next transcript merge.

1.41.2

• Rounder chat bubbles (more side padding) and periodic timestamps (default every 10 minutes, chat.timestamp_interval_mins).

1.41.1

• Release artifacts can include detached ASCII-armored GPG signatures (.asc) when repository secrets GPG_PRIVATE_KEY and optional GPG_PASSPHRASE are set. Native Arch packages (.pkg.tar.zst) are built as a publish job.
• Docs: fix completions link in install.md; man page version updated.

1.41.0 - 2026-11-04

Release Notes

Added

• Shell completions for bash, zsh, fish, PowerShell and elvish, generated from the CLI
  definitions with clap_complete (flags and the mcp serve|token|config and
  completions subcommands). grokbot-tui completions <shell> prints one to stdout.
• The scripts are committed in packaging/completions/ (grokbot-tui.bash,
  _grokbot-tui, grokbot-tui.fish, _grokbot-tui.ps1, grokbot-tui.elv); a test keeps
  them current (UPDATE_COMPLETIONS=1 cargo test completions).
• Installed by the .deb (bash, zsh vendor-completions, fish), the .rpm (bash, zsh
  site-functions, fish), the grokbot-tui-bin AUR package (generated by the binary at
  package time), and make install / install-local.sh (and so the source AUR package).
  The release archives carry all five scripts. No new release assets.
• /help completions, a completions section in docs/install.md, the completions
  man page (man/grokbot-tui-completions.1).

Fixed

• install-local.sh failed on the missing packaging/completions/ files; they exist now.
  --uninstall also removes the subcommand man pages.
• Bash completion of subcommands: clap_complete 4.6 names the bash functions two ways for
  a hyphenated binary name, so nothing after mcp or completions completed; the
  generated script is normalised.

1.40.0 - 2026-11-04

Release Notes

Added

• Website: https://weirdbrains.github.io/grokbot-tui/ (GitHub Pages, gh-pages
  branch): front page with a hero screenshot, features, downloads that always point at
  the latest release, a screenshot gallery, a Themes page with every built-in theme in
  dark and light (18 shots), and every doc rendered as a page. Built by site/build.py,
  checked by site/check.py; see docs/website.md (deploying, adding a custom domain).
• Screenshots generated headlessly: the ignored test app::screenshots::site_screenshots
  drives the TUI with the mock API in a temp data dir and renders each screen to HTML;
  scripts/screenshots.sh turns them into PNGs with headless Chromium.
• Docs: a guide per feature in docs/ (install and downloads per OS, login and accounts,
  chats and bots, team bots and groups, attachments, images and terminal graphics,
  search, notifications, browser and SSH, themes, keybindings and vim mode, settings,
  MCP, configuration and environment variables, data and privacy, troubleshooting,
  development, website) with a docs/README.md index.
• docs/reference/help.md: every in-app help page, generated from the app's help
  source; a test fails when it is stale (UPDATE_DOCS=1 cargo test help_reference).
• Man pages in man/ (grokbot-tui.1 plus the mcp subcommands), generated with
  clap_mangen from the CLI definitions, with ENVIRONMENT (every GROKBOT_TUI_*
  variable) and FILES sections; a test keeps them current
  (UPDATE_MAN=1 cargo test man_pages). The .deb, .rpm and make install install
  them.
• One list of environment variables (src/envvars.rs); a test checks every
  GROKBOT_TUI_* name the source reads is in it, in /help env, the man page and
  docs/config.md.

Changed

• /help env now also lists GROKBOT_TUI_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES,
  GROKBOT_TUI_NO_HYPERLINKS, GROKBOT_TUI_FORCE_SSH, GROKBOT_TUI_FUZZBALL and
  GROKBOT_TUI_IMAGES.
• Finished plans moved to docs/historical/ (theme editor, vim mode, notifications
  menu and tooltips).
• The crate homepage is the website; the README links the site, docs and man page.
• install-local.sh installs the man pages from man/.

1.39.1 - 2026-11-04

Release Notes

Fixed

• Search indexing no longer blocks startup or the UI. The schema migration only creates
  the FTS tables and triggers; existing messages are backfilled on a dedicated
  fts-backfill thread with its own SQLite connection (WAL), in batches of 500, each its
  own short transaction. Schema v13 adds fts_backfill (next id, max id, done), so the
  backfill resumes after a quit, and it skips rows already indexed by the triggers or
  an earlier run.
• Search queries run off the UI thread (a blocking worker with its own connection);
  results come back through the app's event channel, typing is debounced (120 ms) and
  stale results are dropped. While the backfill runs, the search box shows
  indexing… N%, and the query reruns when it finishes.
• The text of files you send is read and cached for search on a worker thread instead
  of the UI thread.
• The main connection now uses WAL and a busy timeout so worker connections never stall it.

1.39.0 - 2026-11-04

Release Notes

Added

• Local message search: Ctrl-F or /search <words> (alias /find; vim keymap
  search.open on ctrl-f). Searches every cached message of the active account
  across all bots (team bots and groups included), attachment names and paths, and the
  text of small text files you send (UTF-8, ≤ 256 KiB, cached locally at send time).
  Never touches the network. Every word must match (case-insensitive word prefix);
  newest first, up to 200 results with bot, time, a highlighted snippet and an
  attachment tag. Enter or a click jumps to that bot's chat, scrolls to the message and
  flashes it; Ctrl-O (vim o) opens the matched attachment. Vim list mode: j/k, g/G,
  Ctrl-d/u, / edits, q closes.
• Schema v12: SQLite FTS5 index messages_fts (backfilled from existing messages and
  kept in sync by insert/update/delete triggers) and attachment_text +
  attachment_text_fts. A LIKE search is the fallback if an FTS query can't run.
• Help: a "message-search" topic and /help search; the Keys topic now lists Ctrl-F and
  describes the 1.38.0 rounded bubble layout.

1.38.0 - 2026-11-04

Release Notes

Changed

• Rounded corners everywhere, to match the desktop Grok Bot app: every themed frame
  (chat, input, sidebar, help, pickers, shell, toasts, modals), the attachment panel,
  settings, inbox and browser dialogs, markdown tables and the theme editor previews
  now draw ╭╮╰╯ instead of ┌┐└┘.
• Chat messages sit on a rounded bubble: a ╭─╮ / │ … │ / ╰─╯ frame around each
  message's text (yours accent-coloured and right-aligned, the bot's muted and
  left-aligned), its text wrapped 4 columns narrower for the sides. Links, code-block
  [⧉] buttons, selection/copy and click-to-react follow the new columns; inline images,
  media, cards and download rows stay under the bubble.
• Reaction pills moved from their own row under a message to the bubble's top border,
  at its top-right corner (like the desktop's reaction pill). The [⧉] [☺+] buttons stay
  in the row after the message.

1.37.4 - 2026-11-03

Release Notes

Fixed

• Kitty images are sent zlib-compressed (o=z) again when the terminal supports it.
  1.37.3's single startup burst dropped ratatui-image's own compression probe; the
  burst now carries the same one-pixel compressed kitty query (i=32), the shared
  reader parses its reply under the graphics.detect_timeout_ms deadline, and kitty
  protocols are built with compression on. No reply or a refusal keeps images
  uncompressed. No extra startup latency (the probe rides the existing burst).

1.37.3 - 2026-11-02

Release Notes

Changed

• Startup terminal queries are truly concurrent: the background colour, Fuzzball
  capability / graphics, kitty graphics, kitty keyboard, cell size and cursor position
  queries go out in one burst followed by DA1, and a single reader routes each reply by
  its type under the shared graphics.detect_timeout_ms deadline, stopping at DA1. A
  slow terminal now costs its slowest reply instead of the sum (simulated: 0.76 s, was
  cut off at the 1.5 s deadline with answers lost); a silent one still draws after one
  deadline (~1.5 s). Late replies are still discarded.

1.37.2 - 2026-11-02

Release Notes

Changed

• Ctrl-C is always copy (the selection, else the input) and never quits, in Fuzzball,
  kitty and legacy keyboard modes. Esc cancels a pending reply or closes overlays.
• Ctrl-D is the default quit (also in keymap/default.toml); Ctrl-Q and /quit still
  quit. Ctrl-D still dismisses a card / form and duplicates in the theme editor; it no
  longer deletes forward in the input (Delete does). Keymap overrides apply.

Fixed

• Startup terminal queries share one deadline, with a DA1 probe that skips the rest when the
  terminal doesn't answer, so a silent terminal draws in about 1.5 s. Late replies are discarded.
• Running without a TTY prints a short error and exits with status 2 instead of panicking.

1.37.1 - 2026-11-02

Release Notes

Changed

• Fuzzball keyboard decoding now comes from the published
  fuzzball 1.0 crate: the WeirdBrains/crossterm fork
  is at 0.29.0-fuzzball.2 (its fuzzball feature is built on the crate), and
  grokbot-tui's own capability / graphics reply parsing and capability query use it too.

Fixed

• With Fuzzball keyboard on, Alt+Shift+P followed at once by another key no longer drops
  that key (fixed in the crossterm fork).
