Release notes

Kilo Code v7.8.8

VS Code

7.8.8

Minor Changes

  • #14891 ce9a04b - Pin worktrees in the Agent Manager sidebar with Shift+click or the context menu. Pinned worktrees stay at the top of the list, get the first jump shortcuts, and keep their section for when you unpin them.

  • #14885 0abb254 - Open chat web links in-app by default when the experimental Integrated Browser is enabled: sidebar chats use a browser tab and Agent Manager uses its browser panel. Choose "System browser" under "Open links in" to opt out. In-app links show a browser icon, and links no longer open in two browsers.

Patch Changes

  • #14890 3453059 - Reduce the height of Agent Manager section headers so more sessions fit in the sidebar.

  • #14884 d6b3b21 - Make the integrated browser preview feel more like a native browser. Page loads and client-side route changes keep the current page visible until the next page paints, instead of showing a blank preview. Route changes in single-page apps no longer drop input. The preview now updates while you resize its panel, and it does not stretch the page during the resize.

  • #14886 8781c16 - Show a clear warning when the Integrated Browser is opened without an active session, and disable its address bar until a session is selected.

  • #14888 35da0f1 - Make the session header more compact to save vertical space, and keep the scroll-to-bottom button clear of the prompt rail.

  • #14889 7f64374 Thanks @WebReflection! - Keep MCP OAuth credentials bound to the authorization server that issued them, so a server that switches authorization servers can no longer receive stored refresh tokens or client secrets.

  • #14887 248e9ae - Switch between session tabs in the sidebar and Kilo editor tabs with Cmd+Alt+Left / Right (Ctrl+Alt+Left / Right on Windows and Linux), with shortcut hints on the tabs and in the prompt.

  • #14854 2c85991 - Use installed Playwright Chromium in WSL when Chrome is missing and no browser preference is set. Document manual browser setup without installing software automatically.

  • Updated dependencies [35da0f1]:

7.8.7

Minor Changes

  • #14797 ecb450b - Make multi-project Agent Manager available by default, with the current workspace project first, and remove the experimental toggle and old single-project view.

    Keep restored tabs, background sessions, and branch defaults with their project, and restore the remaining project after removing the active project.

  • #14806 b85a1ab - Show one keyboard shortcut hint in the prompt that fits what you do now: how to add selected code to the chat, return to the prompt, stop a run, jump to a session that needs you, or review changes and the pull request in Agent Manager. Empty Agent Manager sessions list the main shortcuts, the mode picker shows its shortcut on hover, and all shortcut labels follow your custom keybindings. Turn hints off in Display settings.

  • #14836 760048d - Open the Integrated Browser in an editor tab for any session, not only Agent Manager. Run the Open Integrated Browser command, or let the browser_open tool reveal the tab automatically. Each session gets its own browser tab.

  • #14781 fffcf0e Thanks @eborjaa! - Choose a separate model for automatic project memory saves with the new memory_model setting in kilo.jsonc. When it is unset or unavailable, memory keeps using the session model.

  • #14632 fc3910b Thanks @brunoagatao! - Add an experimental "Per-Conversation Prompt History" setting that keeps prompt input history separate for each conversation

  • #14751 829f621 - Show the GitHub organization avatar next to each project in the Agent Manager project list, with a letter tile when the project has no GitHub remote.

  • #14813 8b144bb - Show to-do progress in the session dock above the prompt. A small progress chip shows how many items are done and the current item, next to the working indicator, background agents, and the goal. Click it to see the full list. The to-do bar under the session title is removed.

  • #14837 94c0514 - Add search to the Kilo Settings sidebar. A search field at the top of the left rail filters every setting, with results grouped by category in the panel so matching settings stay visible; select one to jump to its tab and setting. The field shows the shortcut as a keycap and focuses with Ctrl+F (Cmd+F on macOS).

  • #14855 2049b82 - Pin and unpin session tabs with Shift+click in the sidebar and Agent Manager. The tab context menu now shows the gesture next to Pin and Unpin.

  • #14724 72fa65f - Support OAuth sign-in for MCP servers: open authorization links through VS Code, prompt to sign in after installing an OAuth-protected server from the Marketplace, surface servers that need sign-in from the chat prompt with recovery actions, and configure a pre-registered OAuth client when a server requires one.
