Release Notes

All notable changes to Codistry, the privacy-first AI coding assistant, are documented here.

[0.6.1] - 2026-06-23

Improved tool-calling reliability for OpenAI models when Skinny Tools is enabled.

Context Engine — Codistry now builds a local index of your codebase to give the agent more relevant context automatically and on-demand.
Chat Sessions — run several conversations at once, and name, pin, reorder (drag), and queue messages per session.
Subagents — the agent can delegate self-contained tasks to focused sub-agents.
Dynamic Skills — repo-specific skills that live in your project and are discovered automatically.
Japanese and Korean language support across the UI and native prompts and notifications.
Personalization (renamed from "Context") — Codistry now checks into git architectural insight and learnings to tailor the agent to you and your project.

Default model is now Claude Sonnet 4.6.
Skinny Tools is on by default for more efficient tool calling.
Tool steps now show descriptive names instead of raw tool names.
Settings UI cleanup and general UI performance improvements.
When auto-update is off you're notified of new commits; when it's on, you're told so.
Removed deprecated models.

Indexing now works smoothly even when no Anthropic or OpenAI credentials are configured.
Improved embedding reliability.
Improved conversation summarization and handling of large tool results.
Improved stability of "thinking" output for open models.
Smoother streaming of step-by-step output.
More robust and responsive model streaming.

Improved Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for connecting external tools and data sources.

Support for the Claude Opus 4.8 model.
A dedicated step view for grep searches, so search progress and results appear inline in the conversation.

Faster, more reliable file and text (grep) search.
The agent now shows a diff when it updates your Worldview, so you can see exactly what changed.
Added loading spinners while diagrams are generated and while your Worldview is updating.
