Review Templates — Reusable templates for common review scenarios

v1.12.2Latest

March 5, 2026

Fixed

GitLab Self-Managed — Fixed diff loading failures on some self-managed GitLab instances by automatically falling back to an alternative API when the primary endpoint is unavailable

v1.11.0

March 1, 2026

Improved

Changed

Extension Stability — Improved internal error handling and recovery across the extension to reduce unexpected issues during reviews and settings usage

v1.10.0

February 27, 2026

Improved

Changed

Settings Panel Stability — Settings panel is now significantly more reliable. Errors are caught and shown with a clear banner offering "Copy Logs" and "Reload" options instead of a blank screen
Faster Settings Load — Optimized how the settings panel loads and renders, reducing startup time

Fixed

Settings Panel Blank Screen — Fixed an issue where the settings panel could show a completely blank screen on certain configurations
Empty Red Boxes — Removed phantom red validation boxes that appeared in settings UI when no errors were present
Special Characters in Settings — Fixed incorrect display of & and " characters in repository names and other user-provided fields

v1.9.0

February 25, 2026

Added

GitLab Settings UI — Added GitLab PAT configuration section to the Integrations tab. Configure your Personal Access Token and instance URL (cloud or self-managed) directly from the settings panel with instant validation
CSP-Safe Inline Handlers — Replaced 9 CSP-blocked inline onchange handlers with delegated event listeners, fixing broken selects and checkboxes in the settings webview
Load from Git Button Fix — Fixed "Load from Git" button to correctly fetch git config instead of re-sending current settings

Fixed

Jira Acceptance Criteria Flow — Complete overhaul of Jira AC integration: recursive ADF text extraction, proper customfield_ filtering, hardBreak support, AC field missing warning, OpenAI/Gemini AC support, URL normalization, AC verification preserved in multi-model merges and chunked reviews, innerHTML→textContent XSS fix, maxComments clamping

v1.8.6

February 24, 2026

Fixed

Repository Limit Display — Fixed "0 / NULL" display for team/business tier customers where unlimited repository limits (NULL in database) were not handled correctly. The Add Repository button was incorrectly disabled for unlimited plans
Division by Zero Guard — Added fallback for edge case where repository limit could be zero, preventing potential display issues
GitLab Option in Add Repository — Added GitLab as an option in the Add Repository and Team Repository platform menus

v1.8.3

February 23, 2026

Fixed

Team Tab Visibility Race Condition — Fixed a race condition where the Team tab wouldn't appear for Whop customers because license info was fetched before identity sync completed, reading tier as "free". Team tab now shows from the initial settings load regardless of licenseUpdated timing. Added error resilience and a post-sync retry as safety net

v1.8.2

February 23, 2026

Fixed

Team Tab After Purchase — Settings panel now shows the Team tab immediately after a Whop purchase completes, without requiring a VS Code restart. Previously, the tier change was detected but the Settings webview wasn't notified

v1.8.1

February 23, 2026

Added

Team Jira Sharing — Admin configures Jira once, all team members inherit the settings automatically. Credentials stay local per user for security
Smart Provider Defaults — Switching review modes now only enables AI providers that have a configured API key, preventing "key not configured" errors

Improved

Changed

Team Member Experience — Team members now see correct tier, usage limits, and feature access. Previously, members could appear as free tier locally despite being on a team plan
Review Mode Persistence — Customized AI provider selections (e.g., OpenAI-only) are now correctly preserved when switching between Fast, Thorough, and Custom modes

v1.8.0

February 22, 2026

Added

GitLab Integration — Full support for GitLab Cloud and self-hosted instances. Merge request listing, diff fetching, comments, file content, and status mapping — all through the unified platform interface
GitLab Self-Hosted SSL — Custom CA certificates and skip-SSL-verification options for corporate GitLab instances behind proxies
Platform Auto-Detection — Extension now automatically detects whether a repository is GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket from the git remote URL. Supports SSH, HTTPS, OAuth token URLs, and enterprise/self-hosted instances
Retry Customization — shouldRetry predicate now supports three-way control: false (block retry), true (force retry on any error), undefined (use default behavior). Useful for platform-specific retry policies

Improved

Changed

AI Response Handling — Improved normalization of AI model responses. Category and severity fields returned as arrays are now correctly extracted. Invalid enum values default gracefully instead of breaking the review
Gemini Model Update — Updated default Gemini model to gemini-2.5-flash across the extension
Diff Processing Architecture — Extracted diff splitting, file filtering, chunking, and validation into a standalone utility module for better maintainability and testability
Network Resilience — Retry logic now correctly handles custom predicates without conflicting with the built-in retryable error check
Jira Setup Instructions — Settings panel now shows complete list of required API token scopes for Jira integration, including granular scopes for scoped tokens

Fixed

GitLab Merged MR Diffs — Fixed diff fetching for merged/closed merge requests where GitLab returns null diff references
TypeScript Build — Fixed spread type error in settings panel that could cause compilation issues in strict mode

v1.7.0

February 21, 2026

Improved

Changed

Team Collaboration — Shared repositories and shared API keys are now fully operational end-to-end. Team admins set keys and repos once, members get them seamlessly on any machine
Settings Webview — Replaced inline event handlers with delegated data-action pattern for better Content Security Policy compliance
CodeLens Lifecycle — Active issue decorations are properly cleared on extension deactivation, preventing stale indicators in the editor

v1.6.0

February 20, 2026

Added

Shared Repositories — Team admins can add shared repository configurations from the Settings Team tab. All team members automatically see shared repos in the PR sidebar alongside their personal repos, with deduplication and (Team) label
Shared API Keys — Team admins can set shared AI provider keys (Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI) for the entire team. Members without personal keys automatically fall back to the team key — no more "set your own token" prompts
Team Repos & Keys Management UI — New "Shared Repositories" and "Shared API Keys" sections in the Settings Team tab with add/remove controls for admins

Fixed

Model Display Name — Extension now shows correct model names (e.g., "GPT-5" instead of "GPT-4") by looking up the model version registry instead of hardcoding
Cold Cache on First Activation — Team repos and shared API keys now work on first extension activation. Previously, empty cache on startup silently skipped team features until next reload

Security

Hardened Team API — Improved authorization checks and input validation across team management endpoints

v1.5.0

February 20, 2026

Added

PR Preview Panel — Click a PR in the sidebar to see details (title, author, branches, description, changed files with diff stats) without triggering an AI review. No more accidental token usage
Start Review Button — Explicit "Start Review" button in the preview panel. AI review only happens when you ask for it
Smart Cached Reviews — If you've already reviewed a PR, clicking it again shows cached results instantly — no preview step, no waiting
Stale Review Detection — When a PR changes after your review, a warning banner appears with a one-click "Re-review" option
Review Cancellation — Cancel an in-progress review via the progress notification. AI API calls are aborted mid-stream, no partial results leak through
Post-Cancel Recovery — After cancelling, you return to the PR preview (or cached results for re-reviews) — never a blank screen
Cancellation Cooldown — 2.5-second cooldown after cancel prevents accidental double-reviews
Continue Review — If you dismiss the cancel confirmation, a new progress notification appears so you never lose track of a running review

Fixed

Deprecated Model Fallback — Extension now auto-detects deprecated AI models in saved presets and falls back to defaults. No more 404 errors from old model IDs like claude-3-5-haiku
Telemetry Event Naming — Fixed review_cache_check event using underscore instead of dot convention. Added 5 missing event types to backend allowlist (review.cache_check, review.cancelled, email.gate_shown, email.registered, email.gate_dismissed)
Data Sanitizer Allowlist — Added prId, hasCachedReview, cachedAt, stage, durationMs properties to telemetry sanitizer so cache/cancel analytics actually reach the backend
Marketplace URL — Fixed VS Code Marketplace feedback link pointing to wrong publisher ID

v1.4.0

February 18, 2026

Added

Team Management — Create teams, invite members, and manage seats from the Settings Team tab. Owners and admins can invite by email, cancel pending invites, and remove members
Team Analytics — Team-level review stats with total reviews, hours saved, active members count, trend indicators (up/down/flat), and per-member leaderboard
Invite System — Invite codes with copy-to-clipboard for manual sharing. Auto-detect pending invites on extension startup with accept/dismiss notification
Auto Team Creation — Purchasing a Team or Business plan via Whop automatically creates a team and adds you as owner

Fixed

Gauge SVG — Acceptance rate semicircle gauge now renders correctly for all percentages. Previously, values above 50% caused the arc to draw outside the visible area
Backend Auth — Improved server-side authentication flow to match the extension's auth model
Schema Alignment — Backend functions updated to match production database schema

v1.3.1

February 18, 2026

Fixed

Whop Plan Limits — Users who purchased plans through Whop were incorrectly shown "limit reached" because the extension only checked the legacy license key table. Now falls back to the identity-synced tier from the users table, so Whop-purchased plans (Starter, Developer, Team, Business) are correctly recognized
Register Email Button — "Register Email" button in History and Insights tabs now triggers the email gate and refreshes the UI after registration completes

v1.3.0

February 18, 2026

Added

v1.2.4

February 16, 2026

Fixed

Event Tracking — Fixed 5 feedback/suggestion event types that were rejected by the backend due to naming mismatch (dot vs underscore convention). Events suggestion_approved, suggestion_rejected, review_completed, review_feedback, and suggestion_feedback now arrive correctly in the database
Event Buffer — Malformed events (400 Bad Request) are now dropped instead of retried forever, preventing stale events from blocking the entire queue

v1.2.1

February 15, 2026

Improved

Changed

Native Icons — Replaced emoji characters with VS Code codicon icons across all UI surfaces (settings panel, review webview, edit comment panel, CodeLens, QuickPick). Icons now render consistently across all OS and themes
Consistent Severity Indicators — Severity icons in CodeLens and comment threads now use standard VS Code theme icons ($(error), $(warning), $(info), $(pass)) instead of colored emoji circles
