Release Notes
- The Agent Command Center now follows whichever space is selected instead of being tied to one folder, converts an editor window in place (no reload, no save prompt), and any number of agent windows can run side by side.
- A new Agent Command Center location setting (devin.agentWindow.location) can be used to split the agent command center into a separate window from the editor.
- Significantly improved performance for switching between Agent and Editor mode (Ctrl/Cmd+G).
- Improved update process on Windows to only install after explicitly clicking Restart to Update.
- Windows: Install Devin CLI now writes a shim to the bundled CLI, so updating Devin Desktop updates the devin command too.
- Linux: uninstalling or upgrading the .deb no longer removes the shared Microsoft apt keyring, so other repositories signed by it keep working.
- Fixed a rare bug where the window could scroll up after a mode switch.
- Improved recovery for corrupted file:// working directories.
- Added the ability to rename sessions from the tab dropdown.
- Enterprise: Added a link to request more usage when hitting ACU limits.
- Added support for working on multi-root workspaces containing virtual filesystem folders.
- Improved plan mode with a full Markdown plan file that can be separately reviewed, with an explicit Implement button.
- Running subagents can be stopped individually without cancelling the turn.
- Explain and Fix Problem sends problems to Devin Local when Cascade is disabled.
- Devin Local tabs show the same status indicators as Cascade legacy tabs and the Current Workspace view keeps other projects’ conversations out of the list.
- post_setup_worktree hooks now run for worktrees created from a Devin Local session, so .env files and other untracked setup are copied in before the session starts.
- New settings control whether integrated terminal activity and local user-edit activity are shared with ACP agents (both remain on by default).
- mcp_config.json no longer shows spurious “Property is not allowed” warnings.
- Up/down arrows in the chat input once again navigate through previous prompts.
- Fixed the migration wizard to work in remote SSH workspaces.
- Live shell output streams into the session while a command runs, and finished shell rows expand to their full command and complete output.
- Terminal cards follow the newest output instead of the oldest, transcript timestamps appear on hover, and a failed send restores your draft to the input instead of losing it.
- Session tabs and the command palette offer Copy Session URL.
- Saving a session’s network config now reports a conflicting change instead of silently discarding it, and approving a network access request says why it failed.
