Releases (179)
v1.0.69
October 23, 2026
- •Dashboard directory grouping now shows a header with the folder path and agent count above each folder of agents
- •Dashboard location (branch and folder) now sits on the dispatch box top border instead of its own header row
- •/resume on the dashboard now lists sessions from every folder, with the current folder and its checkouts first
- •Welcome menu now lists Resume session (Ctrl+R) above New worktree (Ctrl+W)
- •[ui] simple_mode is retired and no longer has any effect; sessions always open with the prompt focused
- •grok doctor and /doctor now point out a leftover [ui] vim_mode key (now [keys] vim) or the retired [ui] simple_mode key in your config
- •Quitting Grok returns you to your shell sooner
v1.0.68
October 22, 2026
- •Worktree create and fork now list files that could not be copied and any mode changes that were lost
- •Vim navigation is now one setting, [keys] vim (off or nav), also set with /vim-mode; the older [ui] vim_mode still works
- •Terminal theme now draws a subtle band behind your prompts using the colors your terminal reports
- •Mode-switch toast now shows the mode name (Agent, Plan, Ask) in the color of that mode
- •Change-directory picker (Ctrl+L on the dashboard) opens with the path field unfocused, like the /resume search
- •Image placeholders in the transcript now show whether the actual image was sent or only the text was typed
- •Worktree create now fails cleanly instead of falling back when it cannot copy tracked files or runs out of disk space
- •Running Grok sessions are no longer broken when an update deletes their binary
Show more (3)Show less
- •Dashboard model picks now keep their selected context window when spawning the next session
- •Send Now prompts and rewound turns now correctly restore and mark any images that were originally sent
- •Resumed sessions now show the correct sent or struck-through state for image placeholders
v1.0.67
October 21, 2026
- •Worktrees also use saved "always allow" answers from the main checkout, so you are not asked again for a tool you already allowed there. Set [features] worktree_inherits_main_approvals = false to turn this off; the main checkout "never allow" answers apply either way
- •Prompt suggestions follow vim mode: with [ui].vim_mode on, Tab moves focus to the scrollback instead of accepting the suggestion. → or Ctrl+→ accepts a suggestion, and Esc dismisses it
- •Headless grok -p runs exit when their work is done instead of hanging when a background task or subagent finishes and its output is read in the same turn
- •The theme picker in Settings restores your previous theme when you leave it any way other than Enter, as /theme already does
- •Quitting a session with hooks configured is faster
v1.0.66
October 20, 2026
- •/theme restores your previous theme when you leave the picker any way other than Enter, such as Esc, Ctrl+U, Tab then Esc, or opening Settings or the dashboard
- •Selected and highlighted rows stay readable on every theme because reverse-video text is never dimmed. This fixes faint descriptions in selected menu rows on the terminal theme in terminals such as Kitty
- •@ file completion shows results faster after you type
v1.0.65
October 20, 2026
- •/resume search finds sessions from other folders, tolerates typos, and also matches the commands, file paths, and replies in a session
- •--permission-mode plan starts the session in plan mode, as documented, instead of the default mode
- •The dashboard Ctrl+L folder picker lists up to 50 recent folders instead of 10
- •grok --help gives each command and option a one-line summary, and grok help -h and grok help --help print help for the help command itself instead of an error
- •/resume search keeps a single typed character literal and matches each typed word at the start of a word, so log fix no longer matches "Blog prefix cleanup"
- •Any value of DISABLE_TELEMETRY or DISABLE_ERROR_REPORTING, including 0 and false, turns telemetry and crash reports off
v1.0.64
October 19, 2026
- •Untrusted folders run only managed hooks from your organization. User, project, plugin, and agent hooks wait until you trust the folder. Headless sessions treat user hooks as trusted
- •Worktree names typed with Ctrl+W keep Unicode letters such as café, and a name or ref that starts with - is refused
- •Auto mode runs a shell command without review only when every command in it matches an allowlist entry; anything else asks first. Permission rules read each word the way bash passes it to the program
- •/resume loads older sessions when you reach the last row, and shows how many sessions are loaded
- •Auto mode runs make --version, cmake --version, and just --version without asking
- •HTTP connections, including remote MCP servers, accept gzip, brotli, zstd, and deflate compressed responses
- •Plugin install suggestions above the prompt are off when disable_plugins = true is set
- •New worktrees keep tracked files that match .gitignore, and leave out files excluded only by .git/info/exclude or core.excludesFile
Show more (9)Show less
- •A new session that fails to start puts what you typed back in the prompt you return to, instead of losing it
- •Web search works from the first turn of a session, and in subagents, when the search model signs in through an external auth provider
- •grok -w, grok worktree create, worktree forks, and subagent worktrees refuse up front with the sandbox refusal message when the sandbox profile does not allow creating worktrees
- •Worktree options are hidden in /fork, /new, and the Welcome screen when the sandbox profile does not allow creating worktrees
- •A worktree name you type that is already taken is refused instead of getting a numbered suffix, and a name whose folder you deleted by hand can be used again
- •Grok on macOS without a GUI session, such as over SSH, no longer hangs on its first modifier-key check
- •Custom models on the Responses API keep the turn going when a web search call starts without an action
- •Shell commands run correctly on zsh when your startup files alias grep or replace run-help
- •Voice dictation preview grows the prompt as you speak and keeps the newest words in view
v1.0.63
October 17, 2026
- •Memory always uses the concise MEMORY.md index of topic titles and paths, and /memory lists topics by how often Grok reads them. The [memory_v2] compact_index_enabled setting no longer has an effect
- •Rex terminal support reports each open session and each running subagent as its own record, so Rex shows what each one is doing. Set children = false under [ui.notifications.program_status] to report only the main status
- •grok worktree list and grok worktree show mark a worktree whose folder is missing or whose source repository moved, with a hint on how to repair it
- •Command hooks accept an args list: Grok runs command as one program with those arguments and no shell, and fills hook variables such as $GROK_SESSION_ID in each argument
- •Plan reviews that open while you are typing keep your text in the review notes, so a typed letter no longer triggers a plan shortcut such as approve
- •Plan reviews at the end of a turn wait until you close an open /feedback dialog, question, tool prompt, or queued prompt edit
- •grok -w and Ctrl+W explain that no worktree was made when you run them outside a git repository
- •/fork keeps the model and effort from the parent session when Grok was started with -m or --effort
Show more (2)Show less
- •Custom models on Chat Completions endpoints no longer fail turns with a tool schema error when MCP servers are connected
- •Workflow run views hide live status text for each agent on narrower terminals, so agent names are no longer cut off
v1.0.62
October 16, 2026
- •Headless mode (grok -p) waits for the follow-up turn that a finished background task starts before exiting, and a --background-wait-timeout that stops pending work exits with an error instead of success
- •Cold /resume from the dashboard overlay keeps the overlay attached, so you can still back out with Left or Ctrl+\
- •Enter on a highlighted slash command with optional arguments runs the command instead of leaving a trailing space in the composer
- •CLI commands such as grok models, grok sessions and grok export no longer crash when their output pipe closes early, such as when piped to head, or when the output device is full
- •grok update and grok login no longer crash when stdout or stderr is closed or unwritable
v1.0.61
October 16, 2026
- •Resume picker finds sessions whose titles contain every word you type, in any order
- •/resume opens the session directly when the ID or title matches exactly one session, instead of always opening the picker
- •Dashboard peek text can be selected by dragging over it with the mouse, and the selection is copied to the clipboard when you release

- •grok --resume with a title that matches no local session reports the miss right away instead of trying a remote restore and asking you to sign in
- •Esc on the first question in a session opened from the dashboard moves focus to the scrollback, as it does in a standalone session, instead of returning to the dashboard
v1.0.59
October 14, 2026
- •Dashboard /loop without a prompt shows its usage instead of starting a new session
- •grok --resume matches a title whatever separates its words, so fix-login-bug finds "Fix login bug"
- •[Copy] buttons appear under code blocks in finished replies, labeled with the language or file name of the code
- •Dashboard peek replies waiting on a clipboard paste are canceled with a toast when you move the peek to another row or press Esc, instead of being sent later

Show more (1)Show less
