Mint v1.2.4

Mint Release Notes

v1.2.4 - The "Smart Path & Dynamic Version" Update

This update makes Mint much more "street smart" when it comes to finding your files and provides a more consistent versioning experience across the CLI.

✨ New Features

• Smart Path Resolution:
  • Automatic Root Correction: If you (or the AI) specify a path like /Downloads/... that doesn't exist at the system root, Mint now automatically checks your Home directory.
  • Common Directory Search: Simply type a folder name (e.g., Games or vscode), and Mint will automatically search in your most common directories (Downloads, Desktop, Documents, Videos, Pictures, Music, vscode, Games).
  • Tilde (~) Expansion: Added support for ~/ path expansion even when commands are executed in a quoted shell environment.
• Dynamic Versioning:
  • The CLI now dynamically pulls its version number directly from package.json. No more manual version bumps in multiple files!
  • Visibility: Added version display to the startup header and the /config slash command.

🛠️ Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Robust File Operations: Updated createFolder, openFile, and deleteFile to all use the new smart path resolution logic, preventing "No such file or directory" errors.
• CLI Consistency: Fixed an issue where mint --version would report an outdated hardcoded version.

v1.2.3 - The "Smart TUI" Update

This release focuses on enhancing the CLI experience with better system awareness, a polished terminal interface, and improved stability.

✨ New Features

• System Awareness: Mint can now retrieve and report system information, including OS, Kernel version, and Architecture (x86_64).
• Enhanced TUI Layout:
  • Implemented a new "Bubble-Lite" message style with distinct left-borders for the assistant and proper indentation for all multi-line messages.
  • Manual Text Wrapping: Added smart text wrapping to ensure long Thai/English messages stay within the frame without breaking the layout.
• Mouse Support: Enabled mouse scroll wheel support for navigating chat history effortlessly.
• Startup Info: Added a clean startup header showing the Active Model and current Timestamp.

🛠️ Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Terminal Cleanup: Fixed an issue where "garbage" mouse coordinate characters (e.g., 35;35;44M) appeared after exiting. Added robust terminal state restoration (disabling mouse tracking and restoring cursor).
• Slash Command Aliases: Added /model as a convenient alias for /models.
• Silence Background Logs: Suppressed technical logs from dotenvx and model initialization to provide a cleaner chat experience.
• User Selection Hint: Added UI hints for text selection (Shift+Drag) while mouse mode is active.
