A lighter background host, everywhere
| New | What changed |
|---|---|
| A lighter background host | Terminal panes run in a new background host written in Rust, on Windows, macOS and Linux: about 5 MB of memory while idle instead of about 110 MB. Panes keep running after you close the window, as before |
| SSH machines without an install | A Linux machine you reach over ssh no longer needs Wraithgrid installed: the host is copied there once per version, and versions unused for 30 days are removed |
| Prompt history | ↑ and ↓ in the chat box step through the prompts you sent in that chat, like a shell; your draft comes back past the newest |
| Claude's questions one at a time | When Claude asks several questions, they come as one card with a tab per question, number keys for the options, and Back/Next |
| Fix | What changed |
|---|---|
| Long chats | Long and streaming chats stay fast: a new word no longer redraws the message box or re-reads the whole answer |
| Last answer after quit | Quitting right after an answer, or while one streams, no longer loses it from the chat when you open Wraithgrid again |
| Closing with busy chats | Closing the window asks when a chat is still working, instead of stopping it; the tray no longer quits under a working chat |
| Big screens | A pane with a very large screen reattaches instead of making every pane look stopped |
| Updates on Linux | Cancelling the password prompt of an update no longer stops your terminal panes |
| Changes panel | Follows further edits to a file that was already changed, without Refresh |
| Working line | Comes back under an answer that paused while Claude keeps working (a big file write) |
| Approvals after Stop | A question or approval that was stopped no longer comes back on the next turn |
| Preview address | The dev server's address is read whole, so the preview opens the right port |
| Smaller fixes | Settings path fields keep the last edit when you leave the page; Usage counts days right across a clock change; wraithgrid send makes the pane resume after a restart; dragging a panel edge no longer redraws every pane |
