What’s new

What changed in the last 3 versions of forest, and what you need to do on a project already on the trail. /resupply reads the same notes to you inside Claude Code, starting from whichever version you are on.

Breaking says whether something you rely on works differently. Project update says whether a project you already started needs anything from you.

1.4.0 · current

Breaking: no · Project update: no

4 new commands. /stress tries to kill an idea cheaply before you spend weeks on it. /raise gets you ready for investors without inventing a number. /landing writes or checks the page that sells your product. /diagram draws flows and maps from your own files.
A page of your whole project, project/index.html, kept up to date as you work. Copy any document or section as it is, or as a prompt for another AI tool. /map opens it.
forest fits itself to you more closely. The research time you chose sets how much Camp 2 asks of you. /pack changes your help style, research time or finish line whenever you ask.
The gate is stricter about evidence. An answer to "would you…" counts as assumed, and one person's word is not enough to press on.
No more dead ends. A project you turned back or finished early can start a second round, and every camp can close, whatever you're building.
Safer shipping. Keys and installs stay out of git, and /ship stops on anything a review flagged as a blocker.
/resupply keeps your own settings and skills, and now works on Linux and Windows too.
The project file gains 4 optional fields. /reach and /landing ask for the 2 about your user when they're blank.

1.3.1

Breaking: no · Project update: no

/pack asks what you want at the end: proof the problem is real, documents somebody else builds from, something working fast, or a finished thing live. The trail stops where you said, and every camp stays open either way.
/publish takes a project from a folder to a live address: git, a code host, the repository, hosting, secrets, a domain.
/debug reads an error, says what it means in plain words, then finds the cause under the symptom.
Every check that stops you now names where to go next.
forest asks once whether it may send a few anonymous counts, off unless you say yes. They show which camp people stall at. Nothing from your project is ever sent, and the full account is on the privacy page.

1.2.0

Breaking: no · Project update: no

Camp 4 offers design work that fits your team and your time, and hands to /sketch after.
Everything forest offers now says when to use it, what you get, and how you can tell it is done.
/review asks whether the design solves the problem in the brief before it checks how it looks.

The download is always this version. On an older one, forest offers you the update at the start of a session. Nothing changes until you say yes.
