Recent highlights

0.7.x (May–June 2026)

  • santree config — one command to inspect and configure santree, replacing the separate doctor, setup, and tracker commands. It’s a live panel: read-only diagnostics (tool versions, update-available) sit alongside settings you can change in place — each row applies the moment you toggle it. Pick your issue tracker (Local / Linear / GitHub, with Linear OAuth inline) right inside it. santree config --check prints the old flat status report for scripts/CI; --yes applies recommended defaults non-interactively; --dry-run previews.
  • Optimistic PR creation — after you create a PR from the dashboard, its “Open PR” action appears immediately (with a “loading checks & reviews…” hint) instead of waiting for the next refresh. Only the just-created PR shows the loading state; existing PRs keep their info.
  • Shell integration removed — santree is now a plain binary with no santree shell function, alias, or hook (so which santree just works). Worktree create/switch from the CLI print a cd command to copy; the dashboard with tmux/cmux opens a new window in the worktree as before. If you had eval "$(santree helpers shell-init …)" in your shell config, you can delete that line.
  • santree setup — a guided wizard that fixes what santree doctor reports: a checklist of only the steps that still need doing (diff tool + brew install git-delta, editor, Claude Code statusline / hooks / remote control, GitHub CLI auth, and per-repo .santree scaffold / .gitignore / issue-tracker setup). Space to toggle, Enter to apply; --dry-run to preview, --yes to apply recommended defaults.
  • Triage tab — when Linear is the active tracker, the dashboard leads with a Triage inbox: the triage-state issues assigned to you, ordered by an urgency-coded SLA countdown badge (snoozed issues greyed and parked at the bottom), the full comment thread in the detail pane, a to ask Claude a read-only clarifying question about the issue, w to send it to a tree, and s to view your team’s triage on-call rotation.
  • Tabs split into four — Triage (Linear only) · Issues (backlog) · Trees (worktrees in progress) · Reviews (PRs awaiting your review).
  • Non-blocking worktree deletion — confirm d and removal runs in the background with staged progress; fire several in a row without waiting.
  • PR draft/ready toggle, browser PR compose pre-fill, and dashboard auto-refresh throttled to 5 minutes.

0.6.x (May 2026)

  • Reviews tab — [v] opens the PR diff inline (parsed from gh pr diff), now with SANTREE_DIFF_TOOL syntax highlighting in parity with the worktree diff overlay.
  • Dashboard ? help overlay — press anywhere to see the glyph legend + key reference.
  • Dashboard “Tasks” section — live Claude todo list for the active worktree session.
  • Commit --fill — draft commit messages via Claude. Dashboard [C] flow gained a choose-mode (fill / manual) step.
  • Dashboard “Main repo” synthetic row — surfaces the parent repo’s branch + commits-behind alongside worktree rows.
  • View PR diffs from the Reviews tab — [v] works for PRs without local worktrees too (uses gh pr diff).
  • Squirrel SDF loader — replaces the previous donut/cube loaders. (Standalone via santree helpers squirrel.)

0.5.x

  • Multiplexer abstraction — auto-detects tmux / cmux. The SANTREE_MULTIPLEXER env var was removed in favour of pure auto-detection.
  • Centralized issue tracking + multiplexer logic; cleaner lib/trackers/ and lib/multiplexer/.
  • Delta integration — SANTREE_DIFF_TOOL=delta for syntax highlighting in the diff overlay; splitCombinedSgr() works around an upstream slice-ansi bug.
  • Linear OAuth PKCE flow + GraphQL ticket fetching.
  • GitHub Issues tracker — full parity with Linear via the gh CLI.

0.4.x and earlier

See GitHub Releases for the full history.

Versioning

Santree follows SemVer with a relaxed major-zero convention:

  • Patch (0.x.Y → 0.x.Y+1) — bug fixes, minor polish
  • Minor (0.X.y → 0.X+1.0) — new features, possibly breaking
  • Major (X.y.z → X+1.0.0) — reserved for the 1.0 GA

While we’re at 0.x, expect occasional breaking changes in minor releases — they’ll always be called out in the release notes.

Update notifications

santree config --check and the dashboard banner check npm for newer versions (cached for 6 hours per package). Run santree update to upgrade — it auto-detects your package manager (npm / pnpm / yarn / bun).
