Vertical tabs: new summary mode
Warp says “Summary mode for vertical tabs” provides a compact overview of tab contents. (warp.dev/changelog/2026/">https://docs.warp.dev/changelog/2026/)
Tabs can auto-color by directory
Warp also says you can associate colors with directories so that tabs automatically adopt the configured color when their working directory matches (configured in Settings → Appearance). (https://docs.warp.dev/changelog/2026/)

- displaying run durations and timestamps on shell commands when viewing conversation transcripts,
