"The Glorious Revolution" Update

With v1.5, Zerostack has achieved feature parity with Claude Code on the most important agent capabilities, while shipping a new and improved TUI.

Additions:

• Fully re-designed TUI (w/ new input bar, new status bar & new welcome message; scroll down for screenshot)
• Added Multi-modal inputs with support for images, audio and PDF (compile gated)
• Added Advisors, allowing to use cheaper models that can call "expert" LLMs when the task is too difficult
• Added /review, which sends a specialized message to the agent based on your current Git context
• Added configurable chain-of-prompts, allowing to go from brainstorm to plan to code and ending with /review
• Added opt-in pre-configured MCPs for Context7 and Grep.app
• Added --load-prompt and --pure-stdout, allowing for better scripts and tools built on top of zerostack
• Added support for signaling agent's activity via UNIX sockets, allowing for better scripts and tools built on top of zerostack
• Added installations via scripts, Nix and Homebrew
• Added special permissions to allow plan prompt to write PLAN*.md files

• Improved caching on list of models
