- Fix auto-generated branch names containing garbage characters with kiro-cli
v0.1.134 (2026-03-09)

--sessionflag forworkmux openlets you open worktrees in a dedicated tmux session instead of a window. Session mode is persisted, so reopening the same worktree remembers the preference (#73) - Dashboard now has a scope filter (toggle with
F) to show only agents in the current session or all agents across sessions (#74) workmux setupnow offers to install bundled skills (merge, rebase, worktree, coordinator) during the first-run wizard- Agents can now communicate across projects using the coordinator skill

v0.1.130 (2026-03-04)
- Window names are now automatically suffixed with the project directory name when a name collision is detected across different repositories, avoiding errors when multiple repos use the same worktree name. Explicit names set via
--nameare not modified (#70)
v0.1.129 (2026-03-02)
- Branch name generation now automatically uses your configured AI agent (Claude, Gemini, Codex, or OpenCode) instead of requiring the

--no-verify(-n) flag to skip pre-merge hooks, and-kas a shorthand alias for--keep
v0.1.126 (2026-02-28)
- Added
workmux updatecommand for self-updating workmux directly from GitHub releases. Downloads the latest version, verifies checksums, and replaces the binary in place. Homebrew-managed installs are detected and directed to usebrew upgradeinstead - workmux now automatically checks for updates in the background and shows a notification when a newer version is available. Checks happen at most once per day during
workmux add. Disable withauto_update_check: falsein config or by setting theWORKMUX_NO_UPDATE_CHECKenvironment variable
v0.1.125 (2026-02-28)

- Add GitHub Copilot CLI as a supported agent for status tracking. Copilot hooks are installed per-repository via
workmux setup. Note: the waiting state is not supported due to Copilot CLI hooks API limitations

v0.1.120 (2026-02-21)
- Built-in agents (
claude,gemini,codex,opencode) are now auto-detected in pane commands, so prompt injection works without the<agent>placeholder or a matchingagentconfig. Just use the agent name directly as the pane command (e.g.,command: "codex --yolo") and prompts are delivered automatically. (#57)
v0.1.119 (2026-02-21)
- Added session mode: worktrees can now be created as their own tmux sessions instead of windows, giving each worktree a separate window list, history, and layout. Enable with
--sessionflag ormode: sessionin config. - Added multi-window sessions: use the
windowsconfig to create multiple windows per session, each with its own pane layout - useful for setups like an editor window alongside a test runner

- Sandbox: Host git identity (user.name, user.email) is now automatically available inside sandbox environments, so git commits from sandboxed agents use the correct author
v0.1.112 (2026-02-13)
- Added sandbox support for running agents in isolated environments. Two backends: containers (Docker/Podman) for ephemeral sessions, and Lima VMs for persistent machines with built-in Nix/Devbox toolchain support. See the sandbox guide for setup.

v0.1.100 (2026-01-26)
- Added nested config support for monorepos: place a
