A collection of bug fixes and improvements including better Descript integration, enhanced keyboard shortcuts for issue editing, improved label management, faster startup performance, and fixes for importers and modal dialogs.
Fixes and improvements
This week we've been focusing on larger upcoming functionality, so we only have minor fixes and improvements.
Descript shared URLs are now embedded automatically in issue descriptions and comments.
Issue editing actions in the fast issue editor now use the same keyboard shortcuts than in the rest of the application. To use the keyboard shortcuts, the title or description fields can't be focused.
Issue editing actions in the issue view will now open pop-overs attached to the appropriate properties in the side pane.
Opening issue peek using a quick press on has been fixed to work more reliably
When pressing "Add label" in the issue view will now bring up a popover that lets you toggle any label on and off.
When you have a sub-action editor open in the issue view, any issue editing actions triggered via the action menu or keyboard will target that sub-action unless you're hovering over another sub-action
Issue peek will now disappear when the fast issue editor is opened
Fixes a regression that could cause startup to be slow, especially on Safari and Firefox
You can now delete an import up to 7 days after it was created.
Fixed several bugs with the GitHub importer
Fixed a bug with our Clubhouse importer
Inserting a reference to an issue inside a description or a comment won't remove the rest of the sentence after it anymore
It is now easier to select the workspace where you want an OAuth application to be installed
Labels with the "%" character, like "50%", will now open correct URLs with proper encoding
When filtering issues, "By creator" filter will now group all suspended users as a single entry
Fixed some entries showing twice in the context menu
The background of modal dialogs are once again tinted darker on macOS
Linear Agent now offers adaptive routing to optimize model selection by task complexity, environment secrets support for secure dependency access, and open-weight model options including GLM. Teams can define custom project labels and statuses, assign project leads, use durable IDs for projects and initiatives, and automate workflows with new team-based triggers for onboarding and reassignment.
Loops, Linear's recurring agent workflows, now respond to more workspace activity including project, initiative, and cycle changes, can edit Linear documents and post updates to Slack. This helps teams automate coordination tasks like updating docs and keeping stakeholders informed when plans change.
Linear now offers a Priority tab that intelligently separates urgent notifications from less critical ones, preventing important items like release-blocking reviews from getting lost. Additionally, document editing is now available on iOS and Android, rich previews render in diffs, draft projects with Linear Agent for planning, and admins can approve third-party app access on paid plans.
