v1.4.192

Thank you so much for using Orca and for your continued support! ❤️

Please note: It usually takes 48–72 hours for a landed PR to be released (except P0+ fixes). We have many more exciting PRs and features coming in later versions!

Yesterday’s releases enabled managing automations on all hosts—be sure to check out the v1.4.191 release notes, too.

Notable changes

• Manage automations across all local and remote hosts, with clearer destination-host information and a more polished table.
• More resilient multi-agent orchestration, native chat, terminal sessions, and recovery across remote and SSH connections.
• Preview remote HTML documents in Orca, alongside broad UI, workspace, mobile, and cross-platform reliability improvements.
