Release Notes

New Features - The TUI now has quick reasoning controls: Alt+, lowers reasoning, Alt+. raises it, and accepted model upgrades now reset reasoning to the new model’s default instead of carrying over stale settings. (18866, 19085) - App-server sessions can now manage multiple environments and choose an environment and working directory per turn, which makes multi-workspace and remote setups easier to target precisely. (18401, 18416) - Added first-class Amazon Bedrock support for OpenAI-compatible providers, including AWS SigV4 signing and AWS credential-based auth. (17820) - Remote plugin marketplaces can now be listed and read directly, with more reliable detail lookups and larger result pages. (18452, 19079) - Hooks are now stable, can be configured inline in config.toml and managed requirements.toml, and can observe MCP tools as well as applypatch and long-running Bash sessions. (18893, 18385, 18391, 18888, 19012) - Eligible ChatGPT plans now default to the Fast service tier unless you explicitly opt out. (19053) Bug Fixes - Preserved Cloudflare cookies across approved ChatGPT hosts, reducing auth breakage in HTTP-backed ChatGPT flows. (17783) - Fixed remote app-server reliability issues so websocket events keep draining under load and shutdown no longer fails when the remote worker exits during cleanup. (18932, 18936) - Fixed permission-mode drift so /permissions changes survive side conversations and updated Full Access state is correctly reflected in MCP approval handling. (18924, 19033) - Fixed waitagent so it returns promptly when mailbox work is already queued instead of waiting for a fresh notification or timing out. (18968) - Fixed local stdio MCP launches for relative commands without an explicit cwd, bringing fallback path resolution in line with CLI behavior. (19031) - Startup now fails less often on managed config edge cases: unknown feature requirements warn instead of aborting, and cloud-requirements errors are clearer about what failed.
