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