ego (lite) 0.4.6.14
Fixes
- Fixed a 0.4.6.12 regression where workspace display-state updates fell out of sync and caused excessive memory usage. Workspace visibility now stays in sync when switching between multiple windows or views.
ego (lite) 0.4.6.13
Improvements
- Adjusted Space keyboard switching so it no longer overrides system cursor shortcuts: press +S to open the Space management page; hold and repeatedly press S, Left arrow, or Right arrow to switch Spaces quickly.
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where OpenCode and Hermes on the welcome page could not be clicked to open the client.
ego (lite) 0.4.6.12
Features
- Switch Spaces from the keyboard: hold and press S to open the Space overview and select the next Space; keep pressing S or the right arrow to move forward and the left arrow to move back; release to confirm the switch. +W closes the selected Space.
- Open a Space in a new window from the overview while preserving tabs, title, Agent task ownership, and display order.
- Choose a Profile when creating a Space, and keep the profile menu selection aligned with the current Space.
- Delete all Spaces at once; running task Spaces are kept with a clear warning.
- CLI task-spaces output now includes Profile ID and profile name so task Spaces across Profiles are easier to tell apart.
Improvements
- Space shelf ordering, restore, migration, deletion, and overview state are more stable, reducing misaligned multi-window restore and duplicate refresh. When creating a Profile-specific task Space, the current frame is preferred to avoid duplicate windows.
- Agent detection is faster: startup now batch-checks agent configs and caches the results.
- While an Agent controls a Space, browser and Space shortcuts that would disrupt the task are blocked, and browser UI unsuitable for automation—beforeunload prompts, file pickers, credential dialogs, and external protocol handlers—no longer interrupt the task.
- Agent-created Spaces rejoin session restore after a task finishes, stops, or fails, so preserved task Spaces return after restart. Running Agent tasks keep active content visible, with a warning when a popup leaves the controlled Space.
- The onboarding browser-import list now uses ScrollArea for better hover, focus, and scrolling on long lists. macOS App Data permission checks, System Settings shortcuts, and authorization waiting improve the browser data import flow.
Fixes
- Fixed Space overflow clicks, overview animation refresh, duplicate beforeunload prompts, and close-shortcut scope issues.
- Fixed Space teardown, fullscreen exit, command routing, tab close buttons, and inactive overlay updates.
- Fixed startup and shutdown coordinator lifecycle, the white bar at the top of fullscreen apps, frame hiding after leaving fullscreen, and fullscreen frames that could linger after closing the last Space tab.
- Fixed leftover CDP callbacks when a Node runtime ends during concurrent Agent tasks, which could abort the utility process and disconnect other tasks on the same host. The Node/CLI bridge now handles environment load failures more robustly, reducing crash risk during startup and task execution.
ego (lite) 0.4.5.9
Fixes
- Fixed a crash that could occur when starting incognito during a blocking task.
ego (lite) 0.4.5.8
Improvements
- When an Agent is using the current Space, Settings and other user pages now open in a normal Space in the same Profile, avoiding task interruptions.
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where deleting the only Space in a window left the window blank.
ego (lite) 0.4.5.7
Fixes
- Fixed the sidebar (bookmarks, reading list, and other panels) not working after switching Spaces in multi-Profile setups.
- Fixed several stability issues that could cause the app to crash.
ego (lite) 0.4.5.6
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where closing the last tab in a window switched to another Space instead of closing the window.
ego (lite) 0.4.5.5
Features
- Tabs can now be muted individually, giving you control over audio playback per tab.
- The CLI can now connect to a specific browser instance by server name, making it easier to automate multi-Profile, multi-agent, or multi-instance setups.
Improvements
- Task Space and window state management is more reliable: improvements to Space migration, window close, Profile switching, and session restore reduce duplicate frames, state loss, and accidental delete confirmations.
- Browser data auto-sync now only runs when ego (lite) is not the default browser and the sync interval has elapsed, with support for sync plans across multiple Chromium profiles.
- Browser source discovery now runs off the UI thread, reducing the chance of the interface stalling during data sync checks.
- Copy for import data sync, default browser prompts, and onboarding is clearer, making current settings easier to understand.
- The macOS DMG install experience now defaults to double-click install, with updated background art and window layout; preview builds still use the drag-to-install layout for release checks.
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where refreshing the overlay in a background or non-current Task Space could override the current user-control state.
- Fixed Command-W in a user-controlled Space incorrectly triggering the Agent task delete confirmation.
- Fixed transient, incognito, pending-delete, and other non-restorable windows being incorrectly migrated during migration.
- Fixed an issue where a failed ego-browser Node.js script could still cause the outer CLI to report success.
- Fixed CLI task creation not landing on the regular Profile and creating a visible Task Space when only incognito windows existed.
- Fixed the CLI CDP bridge allowing new browser targets to be created via Target.createTarget.
- Fixed the Windows Start Menu shortcut label not using the ego (lite) product name.
ego (lite) 0.4.4.15
Features
- Agent tasks can now run with a specified browser Profile, so each task can use the appropriate login state, browsing data, and context.
- A new “Keep browser data up to date” setting can periodically sync supported data, including bookmarks and history, from a detected source browser.
- Space cards now show the running status of Agent tasks, making task progress easier to check at a glance.
Improvements
- Closing the last tab in a Task Space now removes that Space immediately.
- After browser data import finishes, the newly imported Profile window now opens automatically.
- URLs opened outside an Agent task now open in a regular browser window instead of being added to a running Task Space.
- Browser keyboard shortcuts now restore correctly after you take over a task from an Agent.
- Task tabs created by an Agent are muted by default, so they do not interrupt your current browsing or media playback.
- Imported browser themes are preserved without overriding the appearance of ego (lite).
- After a browser update, the ego-browser CLI and supported Agent integrations now sync to the current version automatically.
Fixes
- Fixed crashes that could occur in private windows and other non-standard browser windows in some situations.
- Fixed title-bar layout issues in standalone app windows such as PWAs.
- Fixed crashes that could occur in some information-bar scenarios.
ego (lite) 0.4.3.9
This update includes changes from 0.4.2.21 through 0.4.3.9.
Features
- Attachments now open in your default desktop app, so you can view and edit files without extra steps.
Improvements
- Agent Space now shows clearer progress while a task is running, with smoother transitions when the agent starts or returns control.
- Fullscreen mode is more predictable: the tab bar no longer appears or disappears unexpectedly.
- Browser data import is more reliable. The app no longer quits unexpectedly during import, and imported tabs restore correctly.
- Update reminders now show up sooner, making it easier to stay current.
Fixes
- Fixed crashes that could happen when closing a window with running tasks or switching Spaces.
- Fixed duplicate tab groups when restoring a window from the Dock on multi-monitor setups.
- Fixed an issue where global keyboard shortcuts sometimes stopped responding.
ego (lite) 0.4.2.21
This update includes changes from 0.4.1.3 through 0.4.2.21.
Features
- A new welcome page opens after first install and guides you through setting up the command-line tool, from installation to your first run.
- Press F12 to open Developer Tools quickly.
Improvements
- Transitions are smoother when the agent starts or finishes a task, with loading indicators that reduce blank screens while you wait.
- Space animations and interactions feel more polished. Cards move more smoothly after you delete a Space, close confirmations are clearer, and the post-install tip stays visible until you open it.
- Importing browser data now triggers fewer unnecessary restarts.
Fixes
- Fixed a crash that could happen when closing an agent task.
