Gitsu v0.2.1 — what's new
Highlights
- Instant item details for agents. Gitsu MCP answers
get_itemfrom the board Gitsu already has loaded, in milliseconds instead of a GitHub round trip, and says how old the answer is. - Every column reads correctly. When an agent asks about a column Gitsu hasn't loaded, such as an iteration, Gitsu MCP now fetches it from GitHub instead of reporting it as empty.
- Fresher answers with the window hidden. The board keeps refreshing in the background, so agents get current data even when Gitsu is minimised.
Full changelog
New features
- Gitsu MCP: item details, comments and sub-issues come from Gitsu's cache first, with the age of the data and a note on anything read from GitHub
- Gitsu MCP: list the sub-issues of an item, and use the board open in Gitsu when no project is named
Improvements
- Gitsu MCP names the columns it doesn't have cached and reads them from GitHub when asked
- Agent reads go through the running Gitsu app and share its cache
Other improvements
- Board data keeps refreshing while the Gitsu window is hidden
- Data ages reported to agents no longer reset after an edit
