**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/rksaklani/elcro/compare/v0.1.30...v0.1.31.
Elcro 0.1.30
Title-bar profile icon now opens Elcro Settings → Account (instead of the empty VS Code accounts menu).
Elcro 0.1.29
Build fix so desktop installers ship again: builtin-tool tests now include Git worktree tools (create/list/remove). Keeps reliable IDE SSO via website polling after sign-in.
Elcro 0.1.28
Desktop SSO no longer depends on flaky elcro:// deep links: after website sign-in the IDE polls for the session and signs you in automatically. Title-bar Settings gears remain removed.
Elcro 0.1.27
Desktop SSO handoff no longer sticks on “Authentication service unavailable” after a transient DB hiccup (schema init retries instead of caching failure). Title bar duplicate Settings gears removed; Elcro Settings stays in Chat, Command Palette, and File → Preferences.
Elcro 0.1.26
Build fix: Tab streaming used a nonexistent newText callback field that broke TypeScript compile on all platforms. FIM providers now stream via onText for snappier autocomplete.
Elcro 0.1.25
Five capability upgrades: Tab autocomplete streams earlier with a snappier debounce; Agent tool schemas and tool_choice=auto improve local/remote tool calling; Agent Browser is documented as shipped; Multitask gains Git worktree tools (create/list/remove) plus a default explore subagent; CLI `elcro agent "prompt"` opens Agent chat via deep link. Desktop installers for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Elcro 0.1.24
Desktop SSO handoff is more reliable: after website sign-in from the IDE, you return via a Windows-safe elcro:// deep link and the Account UI updates immediately. Normal website sign-in still stays on the site. Desktop installers for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Elcro 0.1.23
Chat header now shows the official Elcro sparkle logo instead of the generic cube icon. Vertical scrollbars across the IDE are slimmer and near-black with rounded thumbs and a subtle white outline on hover — Explorer, Settings, Chat, editors, and Terminal. Desktop installers for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Elcro 0.1.22
Desktop sign-in now opens the live Elcro site on Netlify (elcro.netlify.app) for website SSO, so Log In / Sign Up reach the authorize → signin/signup flow reliably while elcro.dev DNS is restored. Desktop installers for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Elcro 0.1.21
Sign in once on the Elcro website and the desktop app picks it up automatically — Log In / Sign Up from the Welcome screen or Elcro Settings → Account opens the browser and returns you to the IDE signed in. The Account tab shows your profile with quick links to Editor Settings and Keyboard Shortcuts. Elcro’s signature white sparkle accents now extend to the chat panel and Explorer sidebar. Desktop installers for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Elcro 0.1.20
Premium black-and-white default theme matched to the Elcro brand, with subtle white sparkle accents on the empty editor, Welcome page, and onboarding. The Activity Bar now defaults to a compact Cursor-style icon strip above the Explorer instead of a wide labeled column — switch back with workbench.activityBar.showLabels. Desktop installers for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Elcro 0.1.19
Cursor-style labeled Activity Bar by default — Explorer, Search, Source Control, and more show icon, name, and keybinding. Toggle with workbench.activityBar.showLabels. Desktop installers for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Elcro 0.1.18
**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/rksaklani/elcro/compare/v0.1.17...v0.1.18.
El-cro 0.1.18
El-cro accounts arrive: create an account or sign in from Settings → Account to use Agent, Tab autocomplete, and Quick Edit. The editor itself stays free and opens without an account, and your own provider keys and local models still work. New El-cro logo across the app, installers, and desktop icons. Desktop installers for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
El-cro 0.1.17
Agent mode now uses native OpenAI-style tool calling for Ollama and remote OpenAI-compatible servers, so models can run terminal commands and edit files instead of only describing steps. Desktop installers for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
El-cro 0.1.16
In-app update checks against GitHub Releases so installed users get notified of new builds. Fix chat model dropdown crash when using remote Ollama servers. Desktop installers for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
El-cro 0.1.15
Installer-first distribution like Cursor: Windows ElcroUserSetup-x64.exe wizard, Linux Elcro-Linux-x64.deb, and macOS .dmg disk images. Portable zip/tar.gz remain available as alternates.
El-cro 0.1.13
Windows Inno Setup wizard (ElcroUserSetup-x64.exe) with El-cro branding and desktop shortcuts. Linux Debian installer (Elcro-Linux-x64.deb) with Applications menu icon. macOS disk images (Elcro-macOS-arm64.dmg / Elcro-macOS-x64.dmg) — drag to Applications. Agent Browser session UX, evidence tools, and Tab autocomplete on by default.
El-cro 0.1.12
Unified El-cro desktop app icon across Linux, Windows, and macOS builds (and AppImage/server favicons). Desktop builds for Windows, Ubuntu / Linux, and macOS (Apple silicon and Intel).
El-cro 0.1.11
Remote AI model servers: connect multiple named Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio, LiteLLM, or OpenAI-compatible endpoints (LAN, VPS, private cloud) with Test Connection, auth, headers, timeout, and SSL controls. Desktop builds for Windows, Ubuntu / Linux, and macOS (Apple silicon and Intel).
El-cro 0.1.10
Cursor-style chat modes (Ask, Plan, Agent, Debug, Multitask), plan UI, prompt enhance, read-only subagents, and local semantic codebase indexing with Agent search_codebase. Desktop builds for Windows, Ubuntu / Linux, and macOS (Apple silicon and Intel).
El-cro 0.1.9
Desktop builds for Windows, Ubuntu / Linux, and macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Release pipeline and packaging updates.
El-cro 0.1.8
Desktop builds for Windows, Ubuntu / Linux, and macOS (Apple silicon and Intel). Chat lists every model you enable in Settings; providers that still need an API key are labeled.
El-cro 0.1.7
Chat model dropdown now lists every model you enable in Settings. Providers that still need an API key are labeled so you can finish setup.
El-cro 0.1
First desktop release for Windows, macOS, and Linux with agentic chat, Quick Edit, autocomplete, direct-provider model access, MCP tools, and checkpoints.
