What's new, improved, and fixed in each release.

1.3.0

Latest

March 20, 2026

Context management (Pro) — group related tasks into shared Claude sessions so Claude retains full context across multi-step work. Rename, reassign, and bulk-manage contexts across your task queue.
Smart document parsing — intelligently detects task boundaries in markdown files, specs, and planning notes
AI-powered re-parsing (Pro) — when smart parsing can't determine the structure, re-parse with AI for accurate results
Reply to completed tasks (Basic) — send follow-up prompts in the same Claude session to iterate on results
Task results now show duration, token usage, and API cost so you can track what each task consumed
Task inactivity timeout — set a time limit so tasks that stall don't hold up your queue
Bulk select mode in Bulk Create — select and manage multiple tasks at once before adding them to the queue

Bulk Create supports per-task context assignment for granular control over which tasks share sessions
Stale Claude sessions are handled gracefully — if a session has expired, the task automatically restarts fresh instead of blocking the queue
Notifications auto-dismiss after a configurable duration instead of piling up
Commit failure warnings are now displayed directly on the task so you know at a glance if auto-commit didn't succeed

Connection check on startup — Cruise validates that Claude Code is reachable and shows a clear error banner with a retry button if not

Rate limit countdown now shows the actual clock time when processing will resume (e.g., "until 3:42 PM")
Rate limit notification sound only plays once, not on every countdown tick
Machine stays awake during rate limits so the queue can resume automatically without user interaction

Redesigned task layout — first line displays as a header with status badge and actions in a right-aligned column
All tasks are now expandable, not just completed ones
Priority tasks display in their correct execution order in the queue
Task priority toggle moved to the action buttons row as a flag icon, consistent with the input area
Task input and edit textareas are now scrollable and resizable
