v0.12.0 (2026-05-07)
Import Ecosystem Expansion — 6 AI Tools Covered
This release expands Mantra's supported AI coding tools from 4 to 6, adding the two most widely-used tools missing from the lineup, and delivers a full Import Wizard UI refresh.
GitHub Copilot Chat Import
- The #1 AI coding assistant with 20M+ users and 90% Fortune 100 penetration
- Local import: auto-detects VSCode, VSCode Insiders, and JetBrains distributions
- Remote SSH import: import sessions from remote servers over SSH
- Multi-distribution disambiguation: when Copilot Chat appears from different IDEs under the same name, the Import Wizard shows a subtitle chip to distinguish sources
- Live updates: Mantra appends new messages in real-time as Copilot Chat files change
OpenCode (sst) Import
- The fastest-growing open-source AI coding CLI (
@opencodevs/opencodeecosystem) - Reads SQLite database (
opencode.db) with cross-platform path auto-detection (macOS / Linux / Windows) - Live updates via the SQLite incremental polling engine — real-time message append for in-progress sessions
- Full support for all 7 message part types (text / reasoning / file / tool / patch / step-start / step-finish)
Import Wizard UI Refresh
- Import Wizard now displays all 7 import sources uniformly, with 3 new tool cards added
- Each tool has a brand icon and accent color (Copilot Chat blue
#0969DA· OpenCode orange#F97316) - Tools with multiple IDE variants automatically show a distribution subtitle chip to distinguish sources
Error Monitoring
- Sentry integration for automatic runtime error capture and reporting
- Built-in user feedback dialog — submit feedback in one click when something goes wrong
Note on Roo Code: Roo Code has announced it is shutting down. Mantra has accordingly removed its frontend import entry; the backend parser is retained in case the service resumes.
v0.11.8 (2026-04-28)
Interface & Interaction Refresh
This release focuses on the visual and interaction experience of the player interface — restructuring navigation to make mode switching more intuitive and the layout hierarchy cleaner.
Mode Navigation Rail
- A new vertical Mode Rail on the left edge replaces the compact mode switcher previously embedded in the top bar.
- All four modes (Analytics / Playback / Compress / Replay) have distinct accent colors; the active mode is highlighted with a colored indicator bar.
- Common shortcuts (Hub, Skills, Settings) are consolidated in the rail's footer, keeping the top bar uncluttered.
Streamlined Top Bar
- The top bar is narrower and refocused on breadcrumb navigation, search, and session actions — removing controls that have moved to the Mode Rail.
Per-Mode Visual Polish
- Playback: Message bubbles now show a role label and reveal timestamps on hover; tool call cards and output blocks received visual refinements.
- Replay: Controls and panels adopt a unified purple accent palette, making step state and operation type easier to follow.
- Analytics: Metric cards and charts updated with the new mode color system.
- Compress: Panel and action element visual consistency improved.
- Filter bar: Responsive layout in variable-width panels is now more stable.
v0.11.7 (2026-04-28)
Skills Hub Major Upgrade
This release significantly expands Skills Hub capabilities — from daily management to community collaboration.
Tags & Ratings
- Add tags to Skills for quick filtering and categorization
- Rate Skills 1–5 stars to track which ones are most valuable to you
- Full-text search (FTS): search across skill names, descriptions, and tag content
Version History & Snapshots
- File-system monitoring: automatically create snapshots when Skill files change (500ms debounce)
- Snapshot timeline: view the complete change history in the Skill detail panel's "Version History" tab, with source badges (import / file change / manual restore)
- One-click rollback: restore to any historical version; current content is auto-backed up before restore
- Snapshots with identical hashes are deduplicated to save disk space; up to 50 snapshots retained per Skill
GitHub Repository Bulk Import
- Enter a public GitHub repository URL to bulk-import all
SKILL.mdfiles - Shallow clone: end-to-end < 30 seconds for repos with 100+ Skills
- Supports specifying branch and subpath to import only a subdirectory
- Upstream subscription tracking: records source repo and commit SHA; click "Check Upstream" in the Skill detail panel to see if updates are available
Unified Conflict Resolution
- Consistent conflict handling across all sources (tool directory scan / custom directory / GitHub upstream updates)
- Three-way comparison view: compare Base / Ours / Theirs side-by-side for fully informed decisions
- Three strategies: Overwrite (adopt upstream), Rename (auto-append
-2,-3… suffix), Skip - "Apply to remaining conflicts" bulk strategy to reduce repetitive decisions
Skill Identification Improvements
- Name disambiguation: automatically add suffixes when importing duplicate-named Skills — zero data loss
- Origin detection: parses
.git/config+ HEAD when importing from GitHub; card subtitle displayshost/owner/reposo same-named Skills from different sources are instantly distinguishable
