Changelog

v0.1.0 — Collins

The first release under the Collins name, and the fork's version reset — Collins forked from agent-session-manager (original project website) and restarted its version numbering at 0.1.0.

• Rebrand to Collins — app name, command (collins), Python package, app id (com.episode6.Collins), docs, and an original Tom Collins glass app icon. Existing settings, names, and favorites migrate automatically from the old ~/.config/agent-session-manager/ (or older ~/.config/claude-session-manager/) location on first run.
• Claude Code only — the upstream Cursor provider was removed; this fork focuses on Claude Code.
• Terminal panel — a second plain-shell terminal per tab (Ctrl+J), bottom or right, with persisted per-session layout and scrollback history.
• Claude usage panel — subscription limits with reset countdowns under the session list, polled every 5 minutes (paused while minimized/locked).
• Session backgrounding & re-attach — close dialogs and header buttons can background a session (/bg) instead of exiting it; opening a still-running session attaches to the live process instead of resuming a copy.
• Auto-generated session titles — pre-existing sessions titled locally, new ones summarized by a headless claude -p --model haiku run.
• Sidebar upgrades — compact single-line rows, drag-to-reorder projects, per-project + buttons, empty projects with hide/unhide, a "New Thread" placeholder for just-started sessions, active-tab highlight, and creation-time sorting.
• Per-tab footer — the agent's live working directory (click to copy) and the current git branch.
• Quality of life — reopen the last active session on launch, remembered window size, tab-bar hide toggle, Ctrl+W to close a tab, and retuned defaults (easy copy & paste on, idle notifications off).

Upstream history

Everything below is the changelog of the upstream project, agent-session-manager by Máté Molnár, as it stood at the fork point. Version numbers are upstream's (unrelated to Collins's own 0.1.0). Note that Cursor support (added upstream in v0.10.0) and the native chat / session replay features (added in v1.0.0) are not currently part of Collins.

v1.0.0 — Native chat, replay & richer sessions

• Native streaming chat (Claude): token-by-token output with interactive permission cards — Allow / Always allow / Deny every Edit, Write, and Bash.
• Cursor chat in read-only (ask) and trusted (auto-run) modes.
• Resume into chat: reopen any session from the sidebar as a live chat tab.
• Session replay: step through any transcript as native chat bubbles.
• Interactive prompt cards over the terminal answer the agent's questions with a click.
• Advanced new-session options: pick a model, permission mode, extra directories, or continue the last session in a folder.
• Open session from file, permanent delete (alongside trash), a folder-path toggle in the sidebar, and a quick tab emoji shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+E).
• A new generic agent icon and banner, replacing the Claude-specific logo.

v0.10.0 — Multi-agent (Cursor)

• Provider framework: session handling is now generalized behind per-agent providers, so the app manages more than one AI coding agent.
• Cursor support: Cursor sessions are discovered and resumed (cursor-agent) right alongside Claude Code. One sidebar lists both, each row badged with its agent icon.
• Per-agent New Session: the New Session menu offers one entry per installed agent. Resume, graceful close, and fork all route through each session's own agent (Cursor force-closes; fork stays Claude-only).

v0.9.0 — Rebrand to Agent Session Manager

• Renamed from Claude Session Manager to Agent Session Manager — the project, repository, app icon, and docs — to reflect upcoming support for more AI coding agents beyond Claude Code.
• Existing settings, names, and favorites migrate automatically from the old ~/.config/claude-session-manager/ location on first run.
• Installed command became agent-session-manager; PyPI package agent-session-manager-gtk; AUR/PPA package agent-session-manager.

v0.8.0 — Distribution & localization

• Localization: full UI translations for Hungarian, German, Spanish, and French, with a language picker
• Terminal color themes: Dracula, Solarized, Gruvbox, Nord, Catppuccin, Tokyo Night, Monokai, One Dark…
• Multi-window support
• Interrupted badge for sessions you stopped mid-task
• AUR and Ubuntu PPA packages; one-step tag-driven release pipeline

v0.7.0 — Insight, export & PyPI

• Waiting badge for sessions where Claude asked a question
• Export a session transcript as Markdown
• Published to PyPI; app ID moved to io.github.r4nd3l.ClaudeSessionManager

v0.6.0 — Navigation & config

• Quick switcher (Ctrl+Shift+K)
• New Session remembers your last folder; resizable, persisted sidebar
• Drag to reorder tabs; read-only MCP servers browser

v0.5.0 — Session insight

• Transcript peek in the details dialog
• Desktop notifications when a background session goes idle
• MCP servers and per-session usage; online documentation

v0.4.0 — Tab usability

• Per-tab emoji, clearer active-tab styling, close-all-tabs button
• Shift+Enter inserts a newline in Claude's prompt

v0.3.0 — Search & graceful close

• In-terminal find bar; closing a tab asks Claude to exit cleanly (/exit)
• Copy session ID; groups collapsed by default; card-style rows

v0.2.0 — Tabs & workflow

• Renameable tabs, per-tab status dots, toggleable sidebar
• Installable .deb

v0.1.0 — Initial release

• Sidebar of Claude Code sessions, embedded terminal tabs, custom names, favorites
