Alpha is 0.1.505-gf7d50c0 on macOS, Windows, and Linux (up from 0.1.504-g949a28f).
- [new] The right pane now greets you with what this chat can pick back up — its app, recent files, and images — above the actions to open something new.
- [new] Start a new sidebar section from a bot: right-click it, choose Move to new section, and type a name for the section.
- [new] Connect the tools a Grok Bot asks for without leaving its thread. Connector cards now show the tool's name, description, and icon with Connect and Not now; Connect installs it, opens a sign-in window, finishes the sign-in for you, and tells the bot so it can keep going.
- [new] Read recent changes from Changelog in the sidebar account menu. Release notes are included with the app and remain available offline.
- [new] Answer a Bot's sign-in and checkout forms, approve or deny purchases, command reviews, and local tool permissions right in the thread, and stop a Bot mid-run.
- [fix] Clicking a folder link in a chat now reveals that folder in Finder or your file manager instead of showing an error, and never launches anything.
- [fix] Swiping sideways across a wide table or code block in a chat now only scrolls it, instead of sliding in message times and hiding the message's actions once it reaches the edge.
- [fix] Decks built from a Slides template now generate each image in the shape of its frame and crop it to fit that frame, so images don't stretch or run over text. Only background images sit behind text.
- [fix] A Grok Bot that hands work to helpers notifies you when it replies and when it sends the results. It no longer sends a late notification when the helpers finish.
- [changed] Toggle the right pane with Cmd+Option+B (Ctrl+Alt+B on Windows and Linux) instead of Cmd+Shift+B.
- [removed] Project pages no longer show a Connectors tab, an Add connectors suggestion, or a Connectors option in the add menu.
