PAUITerm 26.8.0

Released August 2, 2026

Added a built-in Live Preview (Live Server) and a first-class in-app browser, both native to the tiled workspace — plus major performance and security fixes.

What’s New

  • ›Added Live Preview: a self-contained static server with automatic project detection (Vite, React, Vue, Svelte, Astro, Angular, Next.js, Nuxt, Laravel, Django, Docker, Rust, and more), auto reload with CSS hot-swap, and a preview pane that docks and tiles like the editor and terminal
  • ›Live Preview needs zero configuration — no port or host to type in; the address is preset to 0.0.0.0:5500 and the next free port is assigned automatically per project, shown as a clickable address once the server is running or a project's own dev server is detected
  • ›Dev-server URLs printed by terminals, agents, and commands (including ANSI-coloured output like Vite's banner) surface as a clickable address in the status bar — PAUITerm never launches a second server
  • ›Added QR codes for the preview's LAN URL so a phone on the same network can open it immediately
  • ›Added an in-app Browser Workspace: unlimited tabs with real navigation history, pinning, reopen-closed-tab, per-project session restore, and a shared browsing profile that keeps logins across restarts
  • ›Added responsive testing viewports (Responsive, Desktop, Laptop, Tablet, Phone, Custom) with portrait/landscape and zoom, shared by the browser and the preview
  • ›The Password Manager can now Reveal, Copy, and Fill saved logins — Fill works only when the tab is on the credential's own site
  • ›Added an editor settings panel (Cmd+,) covering fonts, ligatures, indentation, word wrap, line numbers, sticky scroll, minimap, whitespace rendering, format-on-save, and auto save
  • ›Added a per-pane editor status bar with live cursor position plus indentation, line-ending, encoding, and language pickers
  • ›Added a language-aware editor right-click menu with Go to Definition, References, Rename Symbol, and Format for TypeScript, JavaScript, JSON, CSS, and HTML

Improvements

  • ›OAuth logins and browser-opens from agents, commands, and terminals (Claude Code, gh, git, $BROWSER, open, xdg-open) now open in the in-app browser, so logins complete without leaving PAUITerm
  • ›Cmd+click (macOS) / Ctrl+click (Windows/Linux) opens terminal links — http(s) in the in-app browser, other schemes in the OS default app
  • ›Copy and paste between the browser or preview and the code editor is now reliable in every combination
  • ›Starting an agent no longer freezes other sessions: the launch PATH is resolved once per app launch (twenty lookups went from 13.7 s to under 1 ms)
  • ›Stopping or restarting a session no longer blocks other terminals and agents during the kill grace period
  • ›The sidebar CPU/memory readout now reads the process table once for all sessions instead of once per session

Bug Fixes

  • ›Removed the Live Preview port and host settings inputs — the address is preset and assigned automatically per project
  • ›Corrected the app identifier from com.pauiterm.app to ph.kpa.pauiterm
  • ›Fixed pasting into the in-app browser and Live Preview inserting the clipboard text twice
  • ›Fixed proxied HTTPS dev servers losing localStorage, sessionStorage, and IndexedDB on every app restart
  • ›Fixed proxied sites sharing a single cookie jar — each origin now gets its own *.localhost hostname
  • ›Fixed restarting an agent or command leaving its pane blank while the pane stayed open
  • ›Fixed the saved-password picker not appearing when a username field was focused by clicking it
  • ›Fixed the editor and file-explorer font size silently resetting to the default on every restart
  • ›The in-app browser no longer bypasses TLS certificate validation for public hosts — untrusted certificates now stop with a warning page naming the site
  • ›Tauri IPC commands are now rejected unless they originate from the app's own main webview, closing a path where a third-party page in a browser tab could invoke app commands

Known Issues

  • ›Windows and Linux installers are still being finalized.
  • ›The app identifier change means data saved by earlier builds is not picked up automatically — copy the contents of the old data folder to the new one (on macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/ph.kpa.pauiterm).
  • ›The in-app browser does not include full DevTools, a network inspector, a downloads manager, or per-site permission prompts.
