What's New in v0.49: Astra Is a Banger, and Codex Got a Lot Better
v0.49 brings GPT 6 Astra to Lanes, makes Codex sessions far more reliable, adds full Codex history support, and brings pull request status directly onto the issue board.
What's New in v0.48: Dictation, a Lighter App, and a Working Folder That Behaves
Talk your prompt instead of typing it. A microphone now sits on the issue description, the session toolbar, and workspace chat, and the transcript lands in the CLI's own input line for you to read before you press Enter. Underneath: the app boots on a fifth of the JavaScript, opens files it used to refuse, and the working folder gained move, duplicate, and multi-select.
Lanes Link Is Now Available in the Desktop App, No Terminal Required
From v0.47.0, Lanes has a Lanes Link page. It installs the CLI, holds the profile and target, connects your accounts, starts the endpoint, and registers it with Claude Code or Codex. The CLI still owns consent and the token, and the app never reads either.
Lanes Link: One Endpoint for Everything an Agent Needs
Every agent wants its own copy of your accounts. Lanes Link is one MCP endpoint you run yourself: it holds them once, decides what each agent may do, and records every call. Open source, Apache-2.0, on your machine or your own cloud.
What's New in v0.46: Gateways, Local Models, and a Rebuilt Harness Page
Point a session at a model provider you host or buy: a local Ollama, a vLLM box on your network, OpenRouter, or z.ai. Lanes now installs and manages Ollama for you, and bakes a context window that survives a real agent prompt. A new Harness page detects, installs, and updates the CLIs Lanes drives, inside a settings area rebuilt around agentic coding.
Loop Engineering: Stop Prompting, Start Looping
Coding agents are loops, not prompts. Here is what loop engineering means, why verification and context decide whether a loop survives a long run, and how to build one, grounded in the recent work that named the practice.
What's New in v0.45: Forms, a Dashboard, and a Revamped MCP
Lanes Forms lets your agents provision a live form endpoint mid-task, no signup and no backend. A new hosted dashboard brings your forms, activity, and API keys into one place, the Lanes MCP splits into a local and a remote server, and a Git Identity button keeps your commits attributed to the right account. Plus a run of stability fixes across v0.44 and v0.45.
Claude Fable 5 is here. You can run it in Lanes today.
Anthropic just shipped its first Mythos-class model. From v0.43.0 it sits in the Lanes model picker like any other Claude. What it is, what it costs, and why its long-horizon autonomy fits a board of parallel sessions.
