v1.17.1
OpenCodeSummary
This release focuses on stability and configuration handling, particularly for references and server interactions. Key updates include improved handling of deprecated configurations, respecting server timeouts for MCP requests, and a new dedicated route for starting desktop sessions with preserved drafts.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed issue where deprecated `reference` config entries were still loading under the newer `references` config key.
- Resolved issue where MCP prompt and resource requests did not respect configured server timeouts.
- Fixed incorrect handling of Anthropic fallback responses.
- Ensured MCP servers that fail during client setup now fail cleanly, preventing broken connections.
- Restored proper auto-updates functionality on macOS.
Improvements
- Agent references can now include usage descriptions and are visible in the new documentation.
- Added the ability to hide references from @ autocomplete when necessary.
- Introduced a dedicated `/new-session` route in the desktop session flow which preserves prompt and project selection in draft tabs until the session begins.
