Delta runs multiple tasks in parallel: separate threads with isolated workspaces
On September 23, Delta 0.17 taught its desktop agent to create separate threads with isolated workspaces. Agents in different threads can exchange messages, while Delta attaches large pasted text to the conversation as a file.

New in today's Delta release (v0.17) Ask an agent in one thread to launch several tasks: each will start in its own independent top-level thread.

Previously, an agent handled a task in one thread. Now you can ask it from one thread to launch several tasks, each running in its own independent thread.
Installing Delta. On Linux, install the app by unpacking the archive, running `./Delta/install.sh`, and launching `delta`. A Zed account and acceptance of the Delta Early Access Agreement are required.
In Delta 0.17, a review verdict can be set with `/approve` and `/request-changes` commands in any thread.
