Wave v0.14.5 introduces a new Process Viewer widget, Quake Mode for global hotkey, and several quality-of-life improvements.

• Process Viewer - New widget that displays running processes on local and remote machines, with CPU and memory usage, sortable columns, and the ability to send signals to processes
• Quake Mode - The global hotkey (app:globalhotkey) now toggles a Wave window visible and invisible
• [bugfix] Settings Widget - Fixed a bug where config files that didn't exist yet couldn't be created or edited from the Settings widget UI
• Drag & Drop Files into Terminal - Drag files from Finder (macOS) or your file manager into a terminal block to paste their quoted path (#746)
• New opt-in app:showsplitbuttons setting adds horizontal/vertical split buttons to block headers
• Toggle the widgets sidebar from the View menu; visibility persists per workspace
• F2 to rename the active tab
• Mouse button 3/4 (back/forward) now navigate in web widgets
• Terminal sessions now set COLORTERM=truecolor for better color support in CLI tools
• [bugfix] Trim trailing whitespace from terminal clipboard copies
• Package updates and dependency upgrades

Wave v0.14.4 introduces vertical tabs, upgrades to xterm.js v6, and includes a collection of bug fixes and internal improvements.

• Config Errors Moved - Config errors removed from the tab bar and moved to Settings / WaveConfig view for less clutter
• Warn on Unsaved Changes - WaveConfig view now warns before discarding unsaved changes
• Stream Performance - Migrated file streaming to new modern interface with flow control, fixing a large time-to-first-byte streaming bug
• macOS First Click - Improved first-click handling on macOS (cancel the click but properly set block/WaveAI focus)
• Deprecated legacy AI widget has been removed
• [bugfix] Fixed focus bug for newly created blocks

Wave v0.14.2 adds block/tab badges, directory preview improvements, and assorted bug fixes.

Block/Tab Badges:

• Block Level Badges, Rolled up to Tabs - Blocks can now display icon badges (with color and priority) that roll up and are visible in the tab bar for at-a-glance status
• Bell Indicator Enabled by Default - Terminal bell badge is now on by default, lighting up the block and tab when your terminal rings the bell (controlled with term:bellindicator)
• wsh badge - New wsh badge command to set or clear badges on blocks from the command line. Supports icons, colors, priorities, beep, and PID-linked badges that auto-clear when a process exits. Great for use with Claude Code hooks to surface notifications in the tab bar (docs)

Full Changelog: v0.14.1...v0.14.2

Wave v0.14.2 adds block/tab badges, directory preview improvements, and assorted bug fixes.

Block/Tab Badges:

• Block Level Badges, Rolled up to Tabs - Blocks can now display icon badges (with color and priority) that roll up and are visible in the tab bar for at-a-glance status
• Bell Indicator Enabled by Default - Terminal bell badge is now on by default, lighting up the block and tab when your terminal rings the bell (controlled with term:bellindicator)
• wsh badge - New wsh badge command to set or clear badges on blocks from the command line. Supports icons, colors, priorities, beep, and PID-linked badges that auto-clear when a process exits. Great for use with Claude Code hooks to surface notifications in the tab bar (docs)

• Working on anthropic-messages Wave AI backend (for native Claude integration)
• Lots of internal work on testing/mock infrastructure to enable quicker async AI edits
• Documention updates
• Package updates and dependency upgrades
