  1. v2.64.0

    Latest

    Match models to ticket complexity

    Trau can now score each ticket's complexity and run it under the model preset you map to that level. Tickets also gain an operator Checklist, and the app speaks plainer language with a built-in Glossary.

    Added

    • Opt-in AI assessment scores each ticket's complexity and readiness, shown as a badge in the Backlog and the Queue
    • Models by complexity runs a ticket under the preset mapped to its complexity, steps up after repeated failed verify rounds, and reports outcomes on Costs
    • A Checklist on every ticket tracks operator steps before and after merge, with overdue warnings and one page that lists every open item
    • Interviews flag likely duplicate tickets before you file them, and you get one notification when verify repairs stop making progress

    Changed

    • The app uses plainer names, such as Prepare for Inbox and Queue for Loop, and a Glossary page with term tooltips explains the words that stay

    Removed

    • Team sync of lessons and run history over your git remote is removed until a centralized replacement ships

  2. v2.63.0

    Try Trau free for 14 days, then subscribe in the app

    Trau now installs without a key and starts with a free 14-day trial. Subscribe monthly or annually from inside the app when you are ready.

    Added

    • Install Trau without a key and start a free 14-day trial with your email
    • Subscribe monthly or annually from inside the app, and manage your card, invoices and cancellation from the Account page
    • Run one license on two machines, and free a machine yourself from the Account page
    • Customize Workspace navigation with colors, ordering and visibility
    • Keep high-usage findings on record for review, and enforce an ADR policy across your projects

    Changed

    • Trau stops starting new work when a trial or subscription ends, while runs in progress finish and your history stays readable

  3. v2.62.1

    Azure DevOps Bugs nest where they belong

    A patch for Azure DevOps boards, plus a quieter diff sidebar.

    Changed

    • The diff file sidebar no longer shows tooltips on hover

    Fixed

    • Azure DevOps Bugs follow your process’s backlog level, so a requirement-level Bug can parent the Tasks the Inbox files

  4. v2.62.0

    Onboarding proves the run path

    Onboarding now checks that trau can actually run against your repo before you start, and new projects get stack-matched skill suggestions. Workspaces switch in one click, and your Mac stays awake while trau works.

    Added

    • Onboarding checks repo access, proof storage and QA sign-ins, offers SSH recovery, and ends with a held smoke run
    • The Skills page suggests skills matched to your repo’s stack, and the trau operator skill installs from the installer or the hub
    • A Workspace rail switches Workspaces in one click, and Settings → Workspaces manages the Projects in each
    • Trau keeps your Mac awake through Capsomnia while any task runs

    Changed

    • trau doctor opens with a one-line verdict and groups its findings by how much they affect runs

    Fixed

    • An approved run interrupted by the Claude sign-in wall returns to the front of the queue instead of stalling

  5. v2.61.0

    Start a new project from scratch

    New Project can now scaffold a runnable Next.js, Laravel or NestJS starter, optionally in a new GitHub repository, or recommend one after a short research session. The plugin system and Inbox Ask ahead are removed.

    Added

    • Start from scratch creates a runnable Next.js, Laravel or NestJS starter from the official scaffolder, checked and registered for you
    • The hub can create a new GitHub repository for the starter, private by default, and push it once its checks pass
    • Describe your project runs a research session that compares the three starters against your goals and recommends one

    Changed

    • The sidebar is wider and resizable, and the wizard’s Worktrees step shows only what detection found

    Fixed

    • A base branch that moves during a conflict replay no longer gets a correct one-commit pull request quarantined

    Removed

    • The plugin system, including its built-in design plugin, and the Inbox Ask ahead pass are removed

  6. v2.60.0

    Browser verification proves changes with screenshots

    Browser verification now proves a change with screenshots alone, shown with their captions on the run page. Long dependency installs in a new lane are no longer cut off mid-way.

    Changed

    • Run detail → Proofs shows QA screenshots in a lightbox with their captions and the verify attempt that took them
    • The first hub start on this version deletes stored proof videos and keeps every screenshot

    Fixed

    • A long dependency install in a new lane is no longer removed mid-way, and the first Laravel lane after a reset no longer faults

    Removed

    • Browser verify no longer records, stores or renders video, and ffmpeg is no longer required

  7. v2.59.0

    QA sessions ship as real video

    A browser verify run now records the QA session and shows it on the run page as soon as verify ends. Captures without a recording still fall back to a screenshot slideshow.

    Added

    • The verifier records its browser session, and Run detail → Proofs plays it as soon as verify ends

    Changed

    • A capture without a usable recording falls back to a captioned slideshow of its screenshots

    Fixed

    • A slideshow from a responsive QA pass keeps the frames from every viewport instead of only the first

  8. v2.58.0

    Two managed browser harnesses

    Browser verification now runs on two harnesses trau installs itself, with automatic fallback. The installer puts trau in a directory you own, so updates need no administrator.

    Added

    • Trau installs two browser harnesses itself and falls back to the second when the first fails to start
    • Hub → Browser runtime shows what is ready and the one command to copy for anything the machine still lacks
    • An Inbox interview accepts extra context while a round of questions is open and keeps the answers you gave
    • Finished tickets on the Loop page link to their run details

    Changed

    • The installer puts trau in a directory you own and never runs sudo, so trau update works without an administrator

    Fixed

    • No browser session outlives its run, and an app URL that never answers is reported before verify starts

  9. v2.57.0

    Business requirements in the Inbox

    The Inbox can now write business requirements for people to read, held until someone authorizes development. Your license key now sets the interface each installation shows.

    Added

    • A Business requirements interview files a held issue with goals, requirements and acceptance criteria until someone authorizes development
    • Settings → Project defaults saves the format your team’s business issues follow
    • Your license key sets the interface: Business analyst seats see Inbox, Backlog and Projects, and Full access sees everything
    • The New project wizard and Add repo can copy a remote repo onto the hub machine and register it when the copy lands

    Changed

    • Models by phase presets belong to one provider, and the sidebar leads with Overview

    Fixed

    • Splitting a Jira ticket follows Jira’s hierarchy, so an Epic gets Tasks and a standard ticket gets Sub-tasks

  10. v2.56.0

    Bug reports file themselves

    Sentry, Laravel Nightwatch or any tool you script can now open, requeue or cancel tickets through signed webhooks. A standing drain keeps the queue armed, and hubs on other machines show up as runners.

    Added

    • Signed webhooks from Sentry, Laravel Nightwatch or your own tools open, requeue or cancel tickets, and Sentry issues bring their stack trace
    • A standing drain stays armed when the queue runs dry, queues newly ready tickets on every sync and resumes the day after a budget cap
    • Hubs on other machines report to a central hub and appear as runners on the Instances page
    • Inbox review lets you choose the outcome of an interview started from a ticket: update it, split it, or file new work
    • The loop can require extra labels before it picks a ticket, and trau hub supervise now works on Linux
    • An interview loads the repo’s matching skills before it answers
