Dormouse 1.2.0

Released 2026-10-01. Download.

Added

• Pairing improvements and phone connections
  • Connect without an account using a one-time QR link. (#836, #865).
  • Persistent pairing via hosted.dormouse.sh is allowed for beta users (#512, #517, #422, #458, #467).
  • Enroll with Hosted from Settings; persistent Hosted connections and encrypted push delivery are available as an admin-only preview (#872, #870).
• Dor Tools and local files
  • Run project-defined Tools with terminal and browser views. Browse files and folders with dor open, or reuse one preview pane with --preview (#676, #835).
  • Added a built-in VS Code-style text editor and folder browser. (#851).
• Copy preview — edit selected terminal text before copying (#885).
• Terminal context and agent controls
  • Inspect commands, directories, notifications, and listening ports; open a helper terminal beside its source and promote it to a pane (#573, #768).
  • Use dor await to wait for completion and paced dor send input to drive TUIs reliably (#434, #689).
• Alerts and alarms
  • Watch commands across terminals, hear spoken alerts, and receive encrypted phone push notifications. Configure delivery delays and per-Workspace overrides (#325, #327, #332, #667).
  • Alerts follow user attention and can wait for output to stop, preserving pending alerts without repeating alarms (#776, #886).
• Pocket improvements — direct connections from both desktop hosts, edge scrolling with momentum, and more reliable Safari pairing and iOS push (#613, #821, #848, #854, #629, #338).
• Inline images — display Sixel and iTerm2 images in desktop terminals and Pocket (#548).
• 🖥️ Workspaces and windows
  • Organize terminals into tabs, transfer Workspaces between windows, or tear one into a new window while processes keep running (#630).
  • Move panes between Workspaces by dragging or dor move; automatic names reflect the repository and branch, and tab TODO buttons jump to pending work (#887, #760, #787).

Changed

• Agent recovery — supported agents automatically resume captured conversations after orderly shutdown; cold starts restore layouts and working directories without replaying saved scrollback. Standalone can restart from the app menu or updater (#391, #786, #686).
• Browser controls — use dor agent-browser and dor playwright in place of dor ab and dor pw. Update saved Tool renderer names to the full provider names and reopen old automated browser panes. Viewports default to 1440×900, with fixed presets or pane synchronization (#791, #833).
• Settings and network policy — search Settings by topic and choose which connections Dormouse opens automatically. New installs start at Nothing; enable a network policy for remote control and automatic desktop update checks. Self-hosting requires a build configured for your Relay (#792, #863, #857).
• Rendering — WebGL terminal text, smoother focus-ring motion, and preserved browser state when panes are minimized (#326, #611, #612).

Fixed

• Security hardening — safer paste and shell-path handling, authenticated control sockets, and stronger browser-proxy and VS Code message boundaries (#453, #432, #433, #378).
• Browser launches — use the shell's environment to find provider commands, leave layout and focus intact on failure, and keep viewport resizing synchronized (#830, #820, #788).
• 🖥️ Fixed the macOS 27 event-loop crash and slow clipboard reads freezing the app; Workspace moves and confirmations no longer lose saved state or act on superseded requests (#824, #321, #888).

Dormouse 1.1.0

Released 2026-07-16. Download.

Changed

• Zooming a pane (z) now elevates and animates it above the tiled layout and couples it to focus: pressing z zooms the pane and enters passthrough, and the zoom ends the moment you leave passthrough or focus another pane (rather than staying maximized until you toggle it back). Manual splits (| % - ", header split buttons) and Host New Terminal actions now immediately select the new pane and enter passthrough, so building a layout with several splits in a row means re-entering command mode between them; background control-plane creation (dor split, dor ensure, dor agent-browser, dor iframe) is unchanged (#265).

Fixed

• 🖥️ zsh no longer writes its command history (.zsh_history) into the signed macOS app bundle, which could corrupt the app's code signature and make Gatekeeper refuse to launch it as "damaged"; history now lands in your home directory as it would without Dormouse (#266).

Dormouse 1.0.1

Released 2026-07-14. Download.

Fixed

• 🖥️ CI release artifacts now include the zsh shell-integration files (.zshenv, .zshrc, .zprofile), which actions/upload-artifact silently dropped as hidden dotfiles. This is what blocked the standalone v1.0.0 binaries from shipping — hash verification correctly refused the incomplete artifacts — so 1.0.1 is the first standalone release of the 1.0 feature set. The VS Code extension was unaffected (7ef0f440).

Dormouse 0.11.0

Released 2026-05-28. Download.

Added

• Pane titles now read the running command off the rendered prompt line, so the title is correct whether the command was typed, recalled from history, or pasted, and it survives session restore / VS Code panel reopen (#102).

Changed

• 🖥️ The standalone app is now named Dormouse Terminal so it surfaces when you search for "Term" (#111).

Fixed

• On Windows, pane titles no longer show a bare interpreter path such as cmd.exe; the detected command is shown instead, and cmd.exe and Git Bash prompts are now recognized (#103).
• 🖥️ A stray Windows Terminal window no longer flashes behind the standalone app on Windows 11 where Windows Terminal is the default terminal (#110).
• 🔌 VS Code workbench chords now reach the terminal: Cmd/Ctrl+P (Go to File), Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P and F1 (Command Palette), and Cmd/Ctrl+B (toggle sidebar) fire even when a focused TUI has switched on an enhanced keyboard protocol (#112).

Dormouse 0.9.1

Released 2026-05-01. Download.

Changed

• 🖥️ Drop-to-paste from the OS file explorer is temporarily inert on standalone while we wait on upstream Tauri (tauri#14373) to allow native drag-drop without blocking HTML5 drag events (#39).

Fixed

• The mouse-override banner now renders inline in the terminal pane body and no longer stacks with the action-button tooltip (#43).
• Themes with translucent selection backgrounds (e.g. Selenized Dark) no longer bleed through MouseTerm's solid AppBar and tab fills (#37).
• 🖥️ Force-closing the standalone host now reliably kills the Node sidecar tree via a Windows Job Object / Unix process group, so subsequent builds no longer hit orphan node.exe processes locking files (#41).
• 🖥️ Standalone macOS terminals run zsh as a login shell when no args are provided, so ~/.zprofile runs and Homebrew/asdf land on PATH (#40).
• 🖥️ Pane drag-and-drop reordering works again on standalone (#39).

Added

Fixed

• Terminals auto-spawned from a blank workspace now respect the selected shell (#33).
• 🖥️ Polish app bar header to align with pane chrome and shared design tokens (#34).
• 🖥️ macOS auto-update — strip AppleDouble (._*) sidecars from the signed tarball that were breaking every v0.7.x → v0.8.0 install (#35).
