What changed

Checked releases from August 8–15, 2026. The key releases were v1.0.79 (Aug 10) and v1.0.80 (Aug 14).

New features found

  • /app CLI command (v1.0.79): Opens the current CLI session directly in the GitHub Copilot desktop app (requires Copilot app 1.1.3+)
  • Improved /tasks navigation (v1.0.79): Nested tree browsing, current/all/finished filters, and a live steerable timeline for monitoring subagent work
  • /worktree new command (v1.0.79): Creates a new git worktree and starts a fresh session in it without interrupting the current conversation
  • Plugin canvas extensions (v1.0.79): Plugins can now ship canvas extensions under a com.github.copilot/extensions/ directory
  • v1.0.80: Model configuration updates only — no documentation changes needed
