// CHANGELOG

Changelog

These are the recent Claude Code and Codex Assist releases that changed assistant support, history browsing, file recovery, search, archiving, the ccassist MCP server, and usage analytics. The latest release listed here is 0.7.5 from September 27, 2026.

What changed in 0.7.5?

Version 0.7.5 was released on .

Added

  • File Recovery - A new Recovery tab finds saved copies of project files from Claude, Codex, and Grok sessions. Compare a copy with the current file or restore it, and filter by project, file status, or time. Today's copies are available on Free; Pro unlocks older copies.
  • Conversation Checkpoints - Claude and Grok conversations now show saved file states beside the prompts they belong to, so you can compare those files with their current versions.

Improved

  • Clearer Conversation History - Messages exchanged between Claude sessions now show who sent them, while queued messages appear in the right place. Temporary scratchpad files are tucked away so they do not inflate file-change totals.
  • Easier History Browsing - Session rows have clearer highlights, long titles are easier to read, and compact rows reveal more details on hover.
  • Better Skills and Memories Filters - Narrow skills by source and memories by project directly from their tabs.
  • More Accurate Cost Estimates - Updated model prices now refresh older session costs, keeping history and usage totals current.

What changed in 0.7.4?

Version 0.7.4 was released on .

Improved

  • More Accurate Cursor Conversations - Cursor sessions now reconstruct user prompts, dynamic and MCP tools, tool results, errors, background-task notifications, timestamps, and file changes more reliably and in the correct order.
  • Smoother Live Conversation Following - Conversation views now stay pinned to the newest live output while messages, diffs, images, and visualizations expand, without pulling you back down after you intentionally scroll away.
  • Better Conversation Navigation - Mouse back buttons now return from a conversation to history, while links to agents and activity reliably scroll to the requested content.

Fixed

  • Codex Subagent Sessions - Spawned Codex subagents no longer lose their own turns around compaction, and failed turns with no model request no longer inflate usage totals.
  • Tool Results in Activity Summaries - Tool results now remain attached to the correct activity even when a file-change card appears before the result arrives.

What changed in 0.7.3?

Version 0.7.3 was released on .

Added

  • Complete Support for Long Codex Sessions - Long Codex threads that continue across multiple pages now appear as one complete session everywhere, including history, live updates, search, resume, fork, conversion, archive, export, and ccassist MCP.
  • Inline Codex Visualizations - Interactive visualizations created by Codex now render directly inside the conversation view, with a clear fallback when the original visualization is no longer available.

Improved

  • More Accurate Codex Usage and Costs - Usage analytics now avoid counting repeated token reports, include cache writes, and account for Fast-tier requests so totals more closely match actual Codex usage.

What changed in 0.7.2?

Version 0.7.2 was released on .

Added

  • Resume OpenCode Sessions in OpenChamber - OpenCode sessions can now open directly in the OpenChamber VS Code extension, with a new default resume preference and safe project-window switching when needed.

Improved

  • Smarter ccassist Context Transfer - Choose how many recent turns to include when continuing a session, with better preservation of long messages and clear notices when content is shortened.
  • Faster Analytics and Share Cards - Usage views now read only the session details needed for the selected period and reuse project data while rendering.
  • More Reliable Live Session Updates - Newly created and updated sessions stay visible during background scans, and live status continues updating even when the search index is unavailable.
  • More Accurate Codex and Grok Sessions - Improved child-agent discovery, tool display, message counts, token totals, task updates, and session duration reporting.
  • Clearer Device Management - Linked devices now show more descriptive editor names, making similar installations easier to identify.

Fixed

  • Worktree Project Grouping - Project headers, session rows, and “show more” results now stay together for removed or unusually located worktrees.
  • Quota Burn-Down Forecasts - Idle time is now included in burn-rate calculations, preventing overly pessimistic quota exhaustion estimates.

What changed in 0.7.1?

Version 0.7.1 was released on .

Added

  • Weekly Digest Tab - A new side panel tab summarizes your last 7 days of AI coding: sessions, tokens, cost, active days, a day-by-day chart, and your top tools and projects, compared against the week before. Step back through earlier calendar weeks, and get a once-a-week reminder when a fresh digest is ready.
  • Share Card - Turn today's, this week's, this month's, or a single project's usage into a shareable image you can copy or save. Everything is rendered locally from your own history; nothing is uploaded.
  • Branch and Worktree Filter - Narrow the history list to sessions from a specific git branch or worktree, alongside the existing source and model filters.
  • Activity Summary per Turn - Conversations now show what each turn did at a glance: commands run, files read, searches, and tools used, with collapsible detail rows and expand/collapse-all controls.
  • Reasoning Effort in Analytics - Session analytics and the day-by-day dashboard breakdown now split usage by model and reasoning effort, including thinking tokens, for Claude and Codex sessions.
  • Inline Local Images - Images referenced by local path in transcripts now render inline in the conversation view.

Improved

  • Faster Startup and Sidebar - The extension starts faster with a compiled code cache, the sidebar re-renders less and reuses more of its UI, redundant file watchers were removed, and live polling pauses while the window is unfocused.
  • Session Notices When Resuming - Resuming a session that is already running in a terminal now tells you so and offers to fork instead.
  • Clearer System Events - Conversation system events now offer a "show result" link, and task notifications are handled more consistently.

Fixed

  • Streamed Message Token Totals - Token usage for streamed assistant messages is no longer counted twice in conversation and analytics views.
  • Stale File Changes in Live Sessions - Live session refreshes now keep previously loaded file changes instead of briefly dropping them.
  • Effort Grouping - Reasoning effort values that differ only by case no longer split into separate rows in usage tables.
  • Experiment Toggles After Updates - Turning an experiment on or off right after an in-place extension update now prompts for a window reload instead of failing silently.

What changed in 0.7.0?

Version 0.7.0 was released on .

Added

  • Revamped Side Panel - The side panel has been redesigned with tab-based navigation, making it faster and cleaner to switch between history, account insights, settings, hooks, MCP, skills, memories, plans, and experiments.
  • Account Tab - Check plan usage, quota burn-down, recent activity, daily usage, account status, and device details directly from the side panel.
  • Real-Time Hooks Tab - Set up and manage live session status for Claude, Codex, and Grok, so the history list can show when an agent is working, waiting for permission, or finished.
  • Experiments Tab - Try upcoming features and vote on whether they should stay, including a customizable quota health bar, hidden session tags, and quicker Account access from the status bar.
  • Activity in Other Projects - When viewing one project, a banner now alerts you to active or unread sessions elsewhere and takes you back to the full list.
  • Per-Model Usage Breakdown - Expand each day in the analytics dashboard to see usage and cost totals for individual models.

Improved

  • More Complete File Change History - File changes made through shell commands, PowerShell, loops, glob patterns, and subagents are detected more reliably across supported assistants.
  • Faster File Change Views - Large sessions and large file changes now open with less processing and memory use, while unchanged sessions reuse previously loaded results.
  • Cleaner History Controls - Project, source, model, sorting, grouping, and display controls are more compact and easier to navigate, with project actions available even when viewing a single project.
  • Cleaner Conversation Copying - Copied messages keep useful formatting without carrying VS Code theme colors or backgrounds into other apps.

Fixed

  • File Change Accuracy - Reduced duplicate, incorrectly attributed, and missing file changes, including Windows paths, failed shell commands, and overlapping agent activity.
  • Codex Quota Cards - Codex usage cards now adapt to the windows available on the current plan instead of showing empty statistics.

What changed in 0.6.9?

Version 0.6.9 was released on .

Added

  • Offline Premium Activation - Premium can now be activated with a code from ccassist.dev, so firewalled or restricted editor environments can unlock Premium without the editor reaching the server.

Improved

  • Faster Large History Scans - Search and file-change discovery now do less unnecessary parsing, making large histories and shell-heavy sessions faster to process.
  • Lower Memory Use on Big Histories - Session caches are now kept bounded so long-running use and very large histories stay more responsive.
  • Shell Edit File Cards - File cards now better explain changes made by shell commands, including clearer badges, notes, and command context when an exact diff cannot be reconstructed.
  • More Accurate Shell-Generated Diffs - More shell-based file writes and edits are detected and shown in the conversation instead of being hidden as plain terminal output.

What changed in 0.6.8?

Version 0.6.8 was released on .

Improved

  • More Reliable History Search - History search now consistently searches the actual session files, so fresh installs and rebuilt indexes no longer miss message results.
  • Cleaner Onboarding Experience - The welcome flow is simpler, more native to VS Code, localized, and works better when no sessions are found yet.

Fixed

  • Search Box Consistency - Fixed cases where clicking a recent search or searching immediately after typing could jump back to an older query.

Version 0.6.7 was released on .

Added

  • Advanced Deep Search Options - Deep search now has a clearer Advanced panel with labeled options for author scope, match mode, tool output, and subagent transcripts.
  • Tool Output and Subagent Search - Deep search can now include tool inputs/results and subagent transcripts when you need to find details that are not in the main chat messages.
  • Priority Section Control - You can now hide the Priority section from the history list.

Improved

Fixed

  • Deep Search Fallback Reliability - Fixed deep search on machines where the search index directory falls back to an alternate location, including Windows setups where searches could incorrectly return zero results.
  • Deep Search Provider Resilience - If one assistant source cannot be scanned, deep search now continues with the remaining available sources instead of failing the whole scan silently.

  • Search Operators - History search now supports boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT), literal phrases with exact:, and regular expressions with re:pattern or /pattern/. Plain searches behave exactly as before.
  • Search By Author - me: searches only your prompts and ai: only the assistant's replies, on their own or combined with any other operator.
  • Search Options Dropdown - A dropdown at the left of the search bar picks the scope (all / your messages / assistant replies) and match mode (exact phrase / regex) without typing any syntax; the placeholder changes to describe what the current selection searches. AND, OR, and NOT can also be inserted from it. The typed operators still work for anyone who prefers them.

Improved
