v1.11

Multi-Tab Browser, LibreOffice Desktop, & File Browser Bulk Actions

May 2, 2026

v1.11 sharpens Agent Zero's browser into a stronger multi-tab workspace, replaces the Office stack with a LibreOffice-backed Desktop runtime, adds bulk operations to the file browser, simplifies navigation, and hardens the canvas, skills, Time Travel, and OAuth flows.

🌐 Browser

  • Multi-tab awareness — Browser sessions now detect tabs opened by pages, links, or modifier clicks and can work across multiple tabs at once. A new multi action supports coordinated reads or mutations across tabs and parallel execution across separate browser instances.
  • Modifier clicks and key chords — Trusted Playwright input now supports ctrl-click, meta-click, and key combinations such as Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C, with Chrome-style focus behavior and an optional popup focus override.
  • Better page inspection — Page-content extraction now traverses open shadow roots and assigned slot nodes, improving visibility into modern component-heavy web apps.
  • Live screenshot previews — Browser tool results can show clickable thumbnails that open the Browser canvas directly from chat.
  • Clipboard shortcuts in visual mode — Copy, cut, paste, and common editing shortcuts now bridge from the Browser modal and canvas into the Playwright runtime.
  • Extension management — Browser settings can uninstall extensions, and openable extension UI pages are detected and surfaced with an Open action.
  • Draggable annotation tray — The annotation recap tray can be moved inside the browser stage.
  • Stable background focus — Background browser actions no longer steal viewer focus; tabs are promoted only by explicit interaction.

🖥️ Desktop & Office

  • LibreOffice replaces Collabora — The Collabora/WOPI runtime has been removed in favor of a Markdown-first document store backed by LibreOffice, an Xpra virtual desktop gateway, and a persistent XFCE desktop session. Existing containers receive the required dependencies through normal install hooks.
  • Desktop document canvas — The Office panel is now a Desktop surface: Markdown files use a custom tabbed editor, while DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files open in full LibreOffice sessions through Xpra. The surface is opt-in and hidden on mobile layouts.
  • Linux Desktop skill — A new skill teaches Agent Zero how to operate the XFCE/Xpra desktop, including launching apps, focusing windows, clicking, typing, editing Calc cells, and entering Workdir, Projects, Skills, Agents, and Downloads reliably.
  • PPTX generation — PowerPoint decks are now generated through the Office plugin writer with visible multi-slide content.
  • Document rename flow — A rename action beside Save lets open Office documents be renamed while active LibreOffice sessions are retargeted to the new path.
  • Xpra session hardening — Resizing, modal-to-canvas docking, keyboard focus capture, cursor rendering, and clipboard bridging are more reliable in Desktop sessions.
  • Desktop habitat README — New Desktop sessions include a curated README that explains the habitat concept and useful terminal commands.
  • Cleaner desktop defaults — Thunar shows hidden files by default, and unused Xfce Mail Reader and Web Browser menu entries are hidden.

📁 File Browser

  • Search and bulk actions — A new toolbar adds current-folder search, visible selection state, bulk path copying, ZIP downloads, and delete operations.
  • Directory ZIP downloads — Folders can now be downloaded directly as ZIP archives from the file browser.

🎨 UI & Navigation

  • Time Travel is modal-only — Time Travel now lives under Files in the sidebar dropdown and no longer registers as a right-canvas surface.
  • Sidebar polish — Remote Link and Space Agent moved into the sidebar dropdown, Scheduler is now named Tasks, and Chat Actions are collapsed behind a persisted dropdown accordion.
  • Canvas close button — The right canvas toolbar now includes an explicit close button.

🐛 Fixes & Reliability

  • Project-level plugin config fallback — Per-project plugin config overrides, including _model_config, now work for every agent profile instead of only wildcard or empty profile scopes.
  • Skills selector unloading — Dynamically loaded skills are removed correctly when deactivated, and skill names and paths now resolve consistently as aliases.
  • Time Travel snapshot resilience — Workspace .gitignore rules can no longer break snapshots. Invalid shadow Git repositories are repaired or quarantined and reinitialized automatically.
  • Canvas Markdown rename — Dirty or unsaved Markdown sessions can be renamed without filesystem errors.
  • Opt-in canvases — Browser and Office tool results no longer auto-open their canvases; explicit user action is required.

🔌 Integrations

  • Venice embeddings — Venice is now available as an embedding provider option.
  • OAuth disconnect and quota visibility — OpenAI/ChatGPT OAuth accounts can be disconnected, and remaining Codex usage quota with reset timing is shown in OAuth settings.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

  • Collabora/WOPI runtime removed — Office workflows now use the LibreOffice/Xpra Desktop runtime instead of the previous Collabora integration.
