Introduces the release notes for GitKraken Desktop 12.0.0, detailing new features, improvements, and bug fixes.

New Features & Documentation

  • Adds comprehensive documentation for the new "Coding Agents" feature, explaining how to create, monitor, and manage parallel coding agent sessions within GitKraken Desktop.
    • Includes new images to illustrate the Agents panel, new session form, new session button, waiting for input status, and setup commands preferences.
  • Enhances the embedded terminal with multi-session support, allowing independent terminal sessions per worktree, and adds drag-and-drop functionality for files and text.
  • Updates AI preferences to include new Claude Sonnet/Opus 4.6 and Google Gemini 3.1 Pro models, while removing deprecated Claude 3.x models.
  • Adds resizable columns for repo name, remote, and branch in the Repo Management tab.

Improvements

  • Upgrades the terminal engine (xterm.js) from v4 to v6, improving rendering performance, glyph handling, Unicode support, and adding ligatures.
  • Updates UI customization preferences to include an option to hide the Agents sessions toggle in the Left Panel.
  • Refines documentation across current.md, interface.md, preferences.md, terminal.md, and worktrees.md to reflect the new Agents feature and other 12.0.0 changes.

Bug Fixes

  • Resolves various bugs across the application, including terminal resizing, stash content display, LFS tags, Bitbucket reviewer assignments, whitespace diffs, and other visual and functional issues.
