Summary

Warp, a terminal emulator, has released several new features and improvements in 2024, including Warp for Linux, which shares ~98% of the codebase with its macOS app. The company also eliminated the need to log in to access core features, allowing users to try before they commit. Notable updates include Agent Mode, a way to interface with AI directly from the command line, and Active AI features that suggest fixes and next actions based on terminal errors and history. Collaboration tools like Session Sharing, Warp Drive on the web, and Notebooks have also been introduced, making it easier for developers and teams to work together without hassle. Performance improvements include a 136% boost in PTY throughput and optimized memory usage when pasting large blocks of text into the terminal. Looking ahead, Windows support is planned for 2025, along with overhauls of SSH and tmux experiences and major memory optimizations.
