Release Notes
CLI v0.230.0, Desktop v0.187.0: Attached images kept across turns, faster Windows startup, plus session, Slack, and API fixes Improvements - Session artifact actions - Session records now report viewed, updated, closed, and merged pull requests and issues, not only created ones - Enterprise command lists - Custom blocked commands collapse behind a count, and long command lists scroll in place - Faster Windows startup - Droid starts faster on Windows by skipping a redundant console setup step Bug fixes - Startup with many sessions - Droid no longer freezes at startup on machines that hold thousands of sessions - Pending questions across restarts - A question Droid is waiting on now survives a restart, so you can still answer it - Session message order - A session now lists its messages in the order they happened - Task reports after hooks - A background task now reports its full result even when a hook ran during the turn - Faster reply after connection failure - Droid now starts its reply immediately instead of waiting out a retry delay after a failed connection - Parallel tool results with images - A turn where parallel tools return images or documents no longer fails with some models - Slack channel lists - Slack channel lists now show only real channels, not the conversations behind Droid sessions - Images attached in earlier turns - Sending a message no longer deletes the images you attached in earlier turns - File path chip size - A file path in a Droid message now matches the height of nearby inline code - Image input for GLM-5.3-Flash - An image you attach now reaches the model instead of being dropped
