The sidebar groups tasks by project, so you always see which agent is working on which project – no more window juggling for multirepo work.\n\nMarkdown files now render as formatted text while you edit – clear headings, formatted lists, highlighted code – with no split preview. The syntax recedes while you read and appears when you edit.\n\nAnd on Windows, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other IMEs now work as intended. This was one of our most-reported Windows issues, and it’s fixed.\n\nAlso in this release: a new *Customize* screen lets you pick your keymap, theme, and accent color on first launch, and Agent Review now lets you choose which agent and model run the review.\n\n**Download the latest Air release**\n\n## Your projects now share one window\n\nUntil now, opening another repository in Air meant opening another Air window. The new multiproject view puts multiple projects and their tasks in one place. The sidebar groups tasks by project, search covers the full task list, and each task keeps its project and branch visible as you move between them.\n\nThis changes the unit of navigation in [Air](https://air.dev) from windows to tasks. Start an agent in your backend repo, switch to the frontend while it runs, and then jump to a completed task in a third project – all without losing track of which agent is working where. Running and completed tasks stay visible together, so you can coordinate multirepo work as one workflow instead of several disconnected Air sessions.\n\nYou can also group tasks by status to see what needs attention, what’s running, and what’s ready to review.\n\n## Markdown files now read like documents\n\n[Air](https://air.dev) now renders any `.md`\n\nfile with clear heading hierarchy, formatted lists, distinct code blocks, and syntax highlighting for commands, paths, and inline code.\n\nIt is still an ordinary Markdown file. The syntax recedes while you read and appears when you edit, making READMEs, plans, notes, and documentation easier to scan without parsing the formatting first.\n\n## Try the new release\n\nDownload the latest Air release at [air.dev/download](https://air.dev/download) or update through JetBrains Toolbox.
