What the release notes say

2.16.0 September 22, 2026 Windows Subsystem for Linux, Office attachments, and live subagent cards Connect to a Windows Subsystem for Linux distribution from Application Settings, and drop Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files straight into a prompt. Subagents now appear as live cards you can follow and stop while they work. This release also adds right-click copy and save for images. Improvements (12) Added a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) section to Application Settings on Windows, so you can connect to an installed WSL distribution or switch back to your local Windows environment. When connected, the title bar shows the active distribution name. You can now attach Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) to a prompt by dragging and dropping them into the message box, and Gemini models read them natively instead of falling back to opening the stored file. Subagent invocations now appear as dedicated cards in the conversation stream with live running, waiting, and completed status, a hover control to stop a running subagent, and one-click navigation to its conversation in the side pane. Prompt actions in interactive widgets and HTML artifacts now fill in and focus the message box instead of sending automatically, so you can review or edit the prompt before submitting it. Right-click an image in an attachment, a preview modal, or an earlier message to Copy Image or Save Image. SVG images can now be copied to the clipboard and pasted into other applications. The loading indicator now shows what the agent is doing while it prepares a response, including tool initialization progress and a live countdown with attempt count when a model request is retried. The timestamp in the agent's message footer now shows when the response finished rather than when it started, matching the duration shown on long-running turns. Application keyboard shortcuts now take priority over web previews, so shortcuts keep working while a preview has focus. The Confirm Undo dialog
