Agent Zero v1.13 is live β ODF-First Documents + Desktop Lifecycle π
v1.13 is now live. The headline change: Agent Zero now defaults to open standards for every document it produces. Office & Document Handling β’ ODT, ODS, ODP are now the primary formats for Writer, Spreadsheet, and Presentation artifacts β’ OOXML (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX) remains available as an explicit compatibility option β’ Full ODF package generation, validation, and read/edit support β’ Unified Office canvas controls β active-file header in canvas and modal views, shared "+ New" menu, inline Save, Rename/Close from a document dropdown β’ Live document reload after edits β LibreOffice windows close and reopen instead of relying on canvas repaints β’ Reduced automatic document triggering β meta-discussions about files no longer create artifacts; explicit file and canvas requests still work Linux Desktop β’ Persistent Desktop lifecycle β a single Xpra Desktop iframe stays alive across canvas, modal, and keepalive hosts β’ Explicit shutdown vs. crash state, with an XFCE panel "Shutdown Desktop" launcher (confirmation required); unsafe logout/lock/switch-user affordances are hidden β’ New desktop_state helper, expanded desktopctl observe-act-verify commands, and Xpra bridge diagnostics β’ Generalized CLI agent guidance β the Desktop skill now uses a generic nested CLI-agent launch pattern (TARGET_CLI / FALLBACK_CMD) instead of tool-specific instructions Browser β’ Stable modal switching β Desktop β Browser now reuses existing sessions instead of opening a blank tab β’ New Focus mode control in the Browser modal header β’ New browser:screenshot action that writes JPEG/PNG files for vision_load β’ Extended agent-callable input actions and a browser-forms on-demand skill for label-wrapped form controls. This means better automation! UI & UX β’ Unlimited canvas sizing β the fixed right-canvas width cap is removed β’ Surface-switch buttons in modals (Browser/Desktop switcher in modal headers) β’ Time Travel now uses the standard centered modal shell and shared backdrop β’ Bash-style chat input history β Up/Down arrow navigation through previous inputs (community contribution); Down-arrow only triggers at end-of-text
