  1. v8.2.0

    Latest

    Pull requests on Azure Repos

    trau now delivers to Azure Repos: it opens pull requests, waits on branch policies, and answers review feedback. Azure Boards comments keep their formatting.

    Added

    • A repository hosted on Azure Repos gets pull requests, policy-driven merges and review feedback, so Azure DevOps teams can run the full loop
    • Review votes, comment threads, replies and resolved threads on an Azure Repos pull request steer the run the way they do on other forges
    • Onboarding asks for the Azure DevOps token when a repository delivers to Azure Repos, and reads the base branch's build policies as the merge gate
    • trau doctor checks that the Azure DevOps token reaches each repository and that the Azure Boards project exists

    Fixed

    • Azure Boards comments keep their tables, code blocks and screenshots instead of arriving as plain text
    • Removing a label or a tag on an Azure Boards work item now takes effect instead of leaving the old tag in place

  2. v8.1.0

    Interview review recommends a ticket structure

    Interview review recommends how reviewed tickets run and orders tickets that change the same files. Lane databases can copy only the schema, with a size warning before a large copy.

    Added

    • Interview review recommends a structure, explains how each one runs, and orders tickets that change the same files so they do not run in parallel
    • Each worktree database can be a schema-only copy, and the hub shows the source size and warns before a large full copy
    • Live Demo presenters get a step-by-step guide with saved progress, ticket links, Checklist reviews and recorded costs
    • A live Demo plays at a slow, normal or fast pace, and pauses and resumes from the Demo card or the command line

    Changed

    • Filing reviewed tickets under a selected parent queues the parent as one epic, and a blocked ticket waits in the drain right after approval

  3. v8.0.0

    Choose how reviewed work becomes tickets

    Choose ticket types and placement after review, connect monitoring, and rank the Backlog with Deep analysis. Existing integrations need updates for the changed Interview contracts.

    Added

    • Monitoring turns new issues into Draft Interviews, with an automatic mode that files and queues the reviewed work
    • Deep analysis orders Task suggestions using completed work and Lessons, and saves the order for the Backlog
    • Checklist input supplies setup notes and test instructions to the agents that work on a ticket

    Changed

    • Interview review lets you choose ticket types, update an existing ticket, or file the reviewed work under a selected or new parent
    • Task suggestions use separate analysis tabs and a resizable panel, and the run Checklist moves to Details

    Fixed

    • Runs keep waiting for pending checks and pause for a later resume when the extended wait ends

  4. v7.0.0

    Choose the next task and switch Providers during a run

    Get task suggestions for a Repo or Workspace, with an optional goal to guide the choice. Switch a running ticket to another Provider and find app URLs for browser verification.

    Added

    • Task suggestions help you choose work from a Repo or Workspace backlog, with an optional goal to guide the ranking
    • Switch a running ticket to another Provider and restart its active phase
    • Find app URLs automatically and see a warning before a run when browser verification has no app to check

    Changed

    • Stopped agents offer clear actions to resume a conversation or start a new session
    • Onboarding shows setup commands for you to run in your terminal

    Fixed

    • Interview approval accepts an unchanged reviewed plan and can queue the selected parent after it creates tasks

  5. v6.0.0

    Interview artifacts and one Delivery choice

    Create and share versioned documents in Interviews. One Delivery choice controls whether a pull request merges automatically or waits for your decision.

    Added

    • Interviews show documents, charts and interactive examples beside the conversation, with earlier versions available to reopen
    • Share Interview artifacts with collaborators or, when enabled, anyone with the link
    • Trusted pull request comments start fix rounds across all Child repos in a Folder repo
    • Choose each Child repo's base branch for every supported Forge

    Changed

    • Delivery replaces the separate merge, review and QA settings with Automerge or Stop at the PR
    • Existing command-line and integration clients must adopt the new Delivery choice to control when a pull request merges

  6. v5.0.0

    Shared Interviews for hosted collaborators

    Hosted collaborators use personal accounts, review the Backlog, and continue shared Interviews. This major release removes the Interview drawing board.

    Added

    • Collaborators use their own AI and tracker accounts to continue shared Interviews and approve issues
    • Hosted collaborators read the Backlog and return to earlier Interviews
    • Hosted Interviews show when repository files were last checked and offer a choice to continue with older files
    • New API starters and local WordPress sites expand project creation

    Fixed

    • Project creation finds newly installed tools when requirements are checked again

    Removed

    • The Interview drawing board is removed; submitted images and text remain, while unsubmitted sketches are discarded

  7. v4.4.0

    Maintenance update

    This release includes maintenance improvements.

    Changed

    • Stability and reliability improvements

  8. v4.3.0

    Trust your own certificate authority

    Trau now reaches self-hosted code hosts and trackers whose certificates an internal authority signed. Doctor puts problems first and shows the command that fixes each one.

    Added

    • Name your internal certificate authority in Settings, and trau reaches self-hosted GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira and Azure DevOps behind it
    • A temporary switch skips certificate checks for those hosts until the right authority is set, and trau doctor warns while it is on
    • trau doctor can print only its problems, or a machine-readable report that scripts and agents can act on

    Changed

    • trau doctor lists problems first, folds passing checks into one line, and ends with every fix command in one place

  9. v4.2.0

    GitLab joins the supported code hosts

    Trau now delivers to GitLab, self-hosted instances included, with merge requests and review feedback. Board syncs show live progress, and the Assistant can fix tickets for you.

    Added

    • Runs deliver to GitLab and self-hosted GitLab with merge requests, and act on approvals and review discussions
    • A Board sync shows live progress for Azure DevOps, Jira and Linear, and keeps running when you leave the page
    • The Assistant can rewrite a synced ticket's description and comment on tickets, with a line diff to review before you apply

    Changed

    • Terminal sidebar rows get Start, Restart and Stop buttons, and status dots show when a command or an agent is busy
    • The Interview step is now called Technical specification, and completed runs no longer show steering controls

    Fixed

    • Backlog parents whose children synced after them show their expand chevron again

  10. v4.1.0

    Jira Data Center joins the supported trackers

    Trau now works with self-hosted Jira Data Center sites as well as Jira Cloud. Business requirements interviews can refine an existing user story in plain business language.

    Added

    • Self-hosted Jira Data Center sites connect with a personal access token, then sync, read and update tickets the same way Jira Cloud does
    • Business requirements interviews can refine an existing user story in business language, with no code details in the result

    Changed

    • Testing a Jira connection tells you when the chosen deployment does not match the site
