Full changelog
🛟 Hotfix: Markdown auto-save no longer corrupts your files
If you've been on v0.2.39, please upgrade. The markdown preview pane was silently rewriting .md files on disk through a Tiptap round-trip — collapsing GFM tables, rewriting Obsidian wikilinks ([[Note]] → [Note](http://Note)), corrupting YAML frontmatter, and adding spurious \[, \], \~, \_ escapes. Fixed in #445 — closes #437 and #440.
✨ Gemini CLI extension support
Desktop Commander can now be installed as a Gemini CLI extension.
🧹 Tool history log: better truncation (#441)
The tool history file could grow unbounded and occasionally crash the server. Now hard-capped at 5 MiB with a rolling trim down to 4 MiB keeping the most recent entries.
