Whiteboard 0.2.1
Mostly fixes and tweaks in this release. Big refresh to the diff-reading experience tho!
New
- Bumped diffr to 0.1.16: ~50 MB smaller binary and much better folding few minor breaking changes in config format which are migrated automatically + deterministically (#965, #882)
- Fold structural diff scopes from their rails and headers, like the diffr TUI (#970)
- Keep several Asks open at once: one docked, one floating, the rest minimized as pills (#947)
- Ask agents keep answering across tab switches, and Whiteboard asks before closing or quitting while one is working (#948, #919)
- Saved Ask conversations open read-only when the review's checkout is gone (#958)
- AI summaries work with OpenAI (and OpenAI-compatible servers) and Anthropic, with an editable prompt and a test button (#817, fixes #788 from @cannonpalms)
- Code font size setting (#980, fixes #964 from @rawinan-soma)
- Each working agent gets its own pill and colored courier in the topbar (#837)
- Reviews whose checkout is gone show a banner with a Dismiss button (#905)
- Import VS Code settings from Settings → Tools, not just on first run (#981)
- Whiteboard offers to move itself to Applications when it runs from the DMG, so updates work (#892)
- Homebrew cask:
brew install --cask devdotfast/tap/whiteboard(#930)
Changed
- Ask agents get Whiteboard's writing guidance, so answers are shorter and lead with the answer (#955)
- Smaller install: Apple Silicon DMG 288.6 → 253.3 MiB, -12% (#910, #979)
- Electron 43 plus 35 upstream VS Code leak, race and crash fixes (#904)
- Working tree reviews leave out untracked files, matching diffr;
git add -Na new file to include it (#908) - Legacy Markdown reviews are no longer migrated on startup; ask an agent to migrate one (#925)
- Leaner agent tools: anchors are strings like
head/src/app.ts#L10-L24, authoring leases are gone, andsession_repin,session_resolve_pinsand the code-reading tools are dropped (agents read code with git);
older agent setups need to update (#819–#876) - The pull request stack menu is tighter, and stack layers link to the open or newest review (#944, #957)
- The agent picker hides when only one agent is installed (#914, thanks @itsWill for the contribution!)
Fixed
- Ask pins sit beside their own line instead of the top of the paragraph, never over the text; crowded lines fold into "+N" (#960)
- Idle Whiteboard no longer spawns git for removed and sibling worktrees (#982, fixes #954 from @halqme)
- Selection actions stay on screen for large selections (#985, fixes #952 from @ChaseRensberger)
- Switching review tabs no longer leaks diff editors (+104 MB → +3.8 MB over 15 switches) and reuses recent diffr results (#915, #916)
- Scrolling large diffs and selecting text no longer recompute styles needlessly (#885, #977)
- Image uploads work on Linux again (#441, #979)
- macOS stops retrying updates after you deny authorization (#894)
- Structural editors stay aligned with diffr's snapshots (#893)
- Agents no longer get a stale-source warning on every edit, and edit errors name the fix (#962, #870, #873, #875)
- Wrapped Ask activity summaries stay left-aligned (#906)
