# Agent Zero Release Notes

## Browser — Multi-Tab & Visual Improvements

- **Multi-tab awareness:** The browser now auto-registers tabs opened by sites (e.g. `window.open`, `target=_blank`, ctrl-click) and supports working across multiple tabs concurrently. A new `multi` action lets the agent fan out reads or coordinated mutations across tabs in a single tool call, with parallel execution for different browser instances.
- **Modifier-key clicks and key chords:** Support for ctrl-click, meta-click, and arbitrary key chords (`Ctrl+A`, `Ctrl+C`, etc.) through trusted Playwright input. Modifier clicks follow Chrome focus rules, with an optional `focus_popup` override.
- **Shadow DOM content reading:** The browser page-content helper now traverses open shadow roots and assigned slot nodes, improving inspection of modern component-heavy pages.
- **Screenshot previews in tool messages:** Browser tool results now render clickable live thumbnails that open the Browser canvas directly from chat.
- **Clipboard shortcuts in visual mode:** Copy, cut, paste, and common edit shortcuts are now bridged from the Browser modal and canvas into the Playwright runtime.
- **Extension management:** Extensions can now be uninstalled from the Browser settings page, and openable extension UI pages are detected and exposed with an Open button.
- **Draggable annotation tray:** The annotations recap tray can now be dragged within the browser stage.
- **Cross-tab focus stability:** Background browser actions no longer steal the viewer focus; only explicit interactions promote a tab.

## Desktop & Office — New LibreOffice Desktop Runtime

- **LibreOffice replaces Collabora:** The Collabora/WOPI runtime has been removed and replaced with a Markdown-first document store backed by LibreOffice, an Xpra virtual desktop gateway, and a persistent XFCE desktop session. Existing containers acquire dependencies through normal install hooks.
- **Desktop document canvas:** The Office panel is now a Desktop surface — Markdown documents use a custom tabbed editor, while DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files open in full LibreOffice sessions via Xpra. The canvas is opt-in and hidden on mobile layouts.
- **Linux Desktop skill:** A new skill teaches Agent Zero to operate the XFCE/Xpra desktop, including app launch, focus, click, typing, cell editing in Calc, and stable folder entry points for Workdir, Projects, Skills, Agents, and Downloads.
- **PPTX generation:** PowerPoint decks are now generated through the Office plugin writer with visible multi-slide content.
- **Document rename:** A rename action beside Save lets you rename open Office documents, retargeting active LibreOffice sessions to the new path.
- **Xpra viewport stability:** Resizing, modal-to-canvas docking, keyboard focus capture, cursor rendering, and clipboard bridging have all been hardened for reliable Desktop sessions.
- **Desktop habitat README:** New Desktop sessions include a curated README explaining the habitat concept and useful terminal commands.
- **Polished Desktop defaults:** Thunar shows hidden files by default; default Xfce Mail Reader and Web Browser menu entries are hidden.

## File Browser

- **Search and bulk actions:** A new toolbar provides current-folder search, visible selection with status, and bulk copy-paths, ZIP download, and delete operations.
- **Directory ZIP downloads:** Folders can now be downloaded as ZIP archives directly from the file browser.

## UI & Navigation

- **Time Travel is modal-only:** Time Travel now lives under Files in the sidebar dropdown and no longer registers a right-canvas surface.
- **Sidebar polish:** Remote Link and Space Agent moved into the sidebar dropdown; Scheduler UI renamed to Tasks; Chat Actions collapsed behind a persisted dropdown accordion.
- **Canvas close button:** An explicit close button has been added to the right canvas toolbar.

## Fixes & Reliability

- **Project-level plugin config fallback:** Per-project plugin config overrides (including `_model_config`) now work correctly for all agent profiles, not just wildcard/empty ones.
- **Skills selector unloading:** Dynamically loaded skills are now properly removed when deactivated; skill names and paths resolve consistently as aliases.
- **Time Travel snapshot resilience:** Workspace `.gitignore` rules can no longer break snapshots; invalid shadow Git repositories are automatically repaired or quarantined and reinitialized.
- **Canvas Markdown rename:** Dirty or unsaved Markdown sessions can now be renamed without filesystem errors.
- **Browser and Office canvases are opt-in:** Tool results no longer auto-open the Browser or Office canvas; explicit user actions are required.

## Integrations

- **Venice embedding provider:** Added Venice as an embedding provider option.
- **OAuth disconnect and quota visibility:** Users can disconnect their OpenAI/ChatGPT OAuth account, and remaining Codex usage quota with reset timing is now shown in OAuth settings.
