Sourcegraph 6.11

A newer version of Sourcegraph is available: Sourcegraph 6.12.

This page includes all changes for 6.11 and its patch releases. The latest patch for 6.11 is 6.11.5639.

Highlights

Deep Search optimizations, UX improvements, and Markdown export

Deep Search now features thread starring, Markdown export features, and improved latency and @-mention performance.

Performance

Deep Search now leverages enhanced reasoning capabilities to optimize tool call use and response creation. This update lowers latency and improves context handling, enabling more interaction turns before hitting context limits.

We improved the ranking and caching system for @-mentions to match the accuracy of standard search suggestions. This change ensures that file and command context retrieval is quick and reliable. To further speed up navigation, you can now select folders and files from the @-mentions dropdown using the Tab key.

UX improvements

Managing active threads is now more efficient. You can directly star conversations with the icon next to the conversation title, enabling you to pin important context without needing to open the sidebar.

For external integration or documentation, conversations can now be exported as Markdown. You can view the raw output by adding .md to the conversation URL or select the new option in the dropdown menu to copy the formatted text directly.

Verify Deep Search answers with inline citations

Clickable citations now link directly to the exact code snippets that informed the model's answer.

Deep Search now includes inline citations to make answers strictly verifiable. Citations act as clickable annotations pointing to the specific code logic used in the response. You can now instantly navigate to and highlight the exact snippet that informed an answer rather than hunting through a list of files.

This eliminates the guesswork behind the model's reasoning. By allowing you to review the referenced code directly, you can quickly assess the quality of the answer and move forward with confidence.
