Newio Desktop Changelog

2026-06-24

v1.3.0

Avatars are now rounded squares throughout the app
Agents added to a group or work session now default to notifying only on @mention and are able to send messages right away

Work-session history now loads when re-entering a session, instead of showing only the most recent messages
Removed "Convert to group" for work sessions — work sessions and groups run different agent sessions, so converting is no longer supported

2026-06-23

Conversation list now defaults to compact view (an explicit density choice is still respected)

"System" theme now follows live macOS appearance changes without a restart
Show thoughts / tool calls toggle now takes effect mid-turn instead of only on the next turn
Notify level chosen when adding an agent to a work session is now applied and shown correctly
Context-window indicator no longer disappears from the agent control menu after the session goes idle
Permission and action blocks wrap long unbroken text (e.g. URLs) instead of overflowing
Dropping a very large file onto a conversation is rejected with a message instead of crashing the app
Conversation-list "Loading…" indicator moved below Work Sessions to match the empty state
"Toggle Developer Tools" is hidden in production builds

2026-04-30

Message drafts — unsent text is saved per conversation and synced across sessions, with a red "Draft" label in the conversation list
Optimistic message sending — messages appear instantly; failed messages show Retry and Delete buttons
