What's New

Newer release introduces shell integration, Claude Code improvements, and picker preview enhancements with specific behavior changes.

Breaking Changes

  • `rebase.updateRefs` no longer moves other local branches stacked in the rebased range.
  • `wt switch --no-cd -x` now governs the shell, requiring explicit `cd` for programs needing the invoking directory.

New Features

  • Picker preview tabs indicate which have content using dimming and underlining.
  • Claude Code `/wt-switch-create` approval mechanism for path entry dialogs.
  • Improved picker preview rendering to handle fenced code blocks correctly.

Improvements

  • Shell integration now names the destination and provides recovery hints for `wt merge` and `wt remove`.
  • Merge descriptions now accurately describe what is being committed and end with the command to run.
  • Claude Code interaction improvements resolve stalling issues in path dialogs.

Bug Fixes

  • Config save now prevents rewriting the entire file when declining prompts.
  • Merge descriptions now accurately describe what is being committed.
  • Claude Code path dialog no longer stalls when creating worktrees.

Upgrade Notes

Be aware of the breaking change in `rebase.updateRefs` behavior regarding local branches. The `wt switch --no-cd -x` command now governs the shell; programs expecting the invoking directory require an explicit `cd`.
