Qwen Code Weekly: HTML Export Enhancement, Terminal GIF Recording, GitHub Workflow Commands
This week we released v0.11.1 with multiple stability fixes and feature enhancements. Meanwhile, development on the v0.12.0 branch continues with several noteworthy new features.
- Released stable version: v0.11.1
- v0.12.0 in development, multiple new feature PRs merged
✨ New Features
HTML Export: Tool Call Content Viewer
After exporting a session as an HTML file, clicking the IN / OUT labels on Shell tool calls now opens a modal window displaying the full content. Previously, clicking these labels had no effect. See PR #2085
Terminal Streaming Screenshots and GIF Generation
The terminal-capture tool now supports a streaming capture mode that takes screenshots at fixed intervals during command execution, ideal for recording progress bars, spinner animations, and other dynamic terminal output. After capture, ffmpeg is automatically invoked to compose a looping GIF. See PR #2116
Configurable options include screenshot interval, startup delay, and automatic stop when output stabilizes. If ffmpeg is not installed, GIF generation is skipped without interrupting the screenshot process.
Previously limited to static screenshots, you can now record the full command execution process, making it ideal for feature demos and tutorials.

Built-in GitHub Workflow Commands
Four new built-in custom commands covering common GitHub operation scenarios, invoked via /qc:<command-name>. See PR #2117
/qc:code-review: Fetches PR details and diff, generates a code review report covering correctness, style, performance, and security/qc:commit: Analyzes staged changes, generates a commit message conforming to Conventional Commits spec, and handles branching automatically (avoids committing directly to main)/qc:create-issue: Drafts a GitHub Issue based on codebase context, automatically selecting the feature request or bug report template/qc:create-pr: Creates a fully structured Pull Request following the project’s PR template
AGENTS.md as Default Context File
AGENTS.md in the project root is now automatically loaded as a context file, consistent with the behavior of GEMINI.md, CLAUDE.md, and similar files. No additional configuration is needed when working in multi-agent frameworks. See PR #2018
Ctrl+Y to Retry Failed Requests
After a request fails, press Ctrl+Y to retry directly without re-entering the content. See PR #2011
Auth Dialog Layout Improvement
The login dialog has been redesigned with a three-option layout for clearer distinction between options. See PR #2030
Code Highlight Tab Width Support
The code highlight component now supports a tabWidth configuration option. Tab characters are replaced with the corresponding number of spaces, resolving inconsistent tab display width in code blocks. See PR #2077
