Changelog

DevSwarm 2.5.3 gives the chat a full set of session tools, a faster first run, and a redesigned Settings page, alongside a long list of chat and Windows reliability fixes.

• Manage chat sessions from the Sessions panel: rename, fork, rewind to an earlier turn, compact, export as Markdown, and delete or archive
• New users start in the real app, with a short checklist that walks through choosing an AI, sending a first prompt, and creating a Workspace
• Settings is redesigned as a single scrollable window with a section list that follows along as you scroll
• An optional Open Workspaces sidebar section lists what's running, and a new sidebar options menu can hide the hover quick actions on each row

DevSwarm 2.5.2 shows what the chat agent is working on, with its task list, subagents, background processes, and MCP servers visible and controllable from the chat. It also sharpens workspace search.

• The agent's task list is pinned above the prompt and checks off live as it works
• See the subagents and background processes the agent starts, follow each subagent's live transcript, and stop any of them
• Add, toggle, and reconnect MCP servers from the chat header
• Workspace search supports repo: and jira: filters, finds workspaces inside Multi-Repo members, and has a configurable shortcut

DevSwarm 2.5.1 lets Claude ask you questions in the chat, makes resume return to the conversation you were actually having, and fixes Review Mode for Multi-Repo workspaces.

• Claude can ask multiple-choice questions in the chat, so you pick the library, approach, or design instead of it guessing
• Attach files to a message with the new paperclip button, or hold Shift while dragging a file onto the chat
• Resuming a workspace returns to your live Claude conversation, even after /clear, and resume works again on WSL
• Review Mode on a Multi-Repo workspace shows only what you changed, matching each repository's pull request

DevSwarm 2.5.0 adds a real chat interface for your terminal coding agents, built into every workspace's editor, plus a visual overhaul that adopts your VS Code theme across the whole app. It also brings a simpler first-run setup, a redesigned workspace-creation flow, and a new workspace search palette.

• A real, richly formatted chat interface for the coding agents you already use, built into every workspace's editor, with support for Claude, GitHub Copilot, and OpenAI Codex: streamed responses, clickable permission prompts, tool-call cards, and reliability fixes so a stuck or failed response is always surfaced instead of hanging silently
• A visual refresh that adopts your VS Code theme across the entire app, so the sidebar, header, settings, and modals retint live the moment you switch, and each project can carry its own theme. Alongside it, a simpler first-run setup and a redesigned Create Workspace flow with live Jira and GitHub pickers
• A keyboard-driven workspace search and quick-switch palette that finds any workspace by name, branch, or linked Jira issue, plus Windows reliability fixes for deep file paths and terminal shell selection

DevSwarm 2.4.0 introduces Multi-Repo workspaces: bundle several repositories into a single workspace, work across all of them at once, and review changes everywhere in one place. It arrives alongside a batch of reliability fixes.

• New Multi-Repo workspaces bundle several repositories into a single workspace, so you can create one through a guided wizard, build a change across all of them, and review it in one place, while each repository keeps its own branch and pull request. DevSwarm can also adopt repositories that already use submodules.
• Fixed a blank AI terminal that could appear when creating or resuming a workspace
