Release Notes

New Features - Added experimental paginated thread history with efficient resume, search, persisted names, sub-agent support, and memories. (33364, 33907, 34085, 34229, 34386) - Expanded /import to migrate Cursor and Claude Code settings, MCP servers, plugins, sessions, commands, and project-scoped memories. (31672, 33411, 33426, 33444) - Added experimental Amazon Bedrock login, custom endpoint and authentication support, and GPT-5.6 Sol as the default Bedrock model. (31327, 33170, 33175, 32288, 33695) - Added audio inputs and tool outputs, including common local audio formats, and introduced streaming realtime V3 conversations. (33261, 33856, 33932, 34080, 34385) - Stabilized the opt-in multi-agent V2 experience with configurable sub-agent models, reasoning levels, concurrency, restored roles, and improved agent navigation. (33550, 33631, 33657, 33841, 34383) - Added secure, clickable inline visualization links in the terminal UI. (33925, 34217, 34346) Bug Fixes - Editing an earlier prompt or retrying a safety-buffered turn now creates a contextual branch, preserving the original conversation, attachments, and mention bindings. (33201, 33207, 33211) - Improved terminal responsiveness for long conversations and streamed output through incremental Markdown rendering, fewer redraws, caching, and bounded command output. (34045, 34049, 34216, 34223, 34359) - Prevented slow or conflicting MCP startup and authentication flows by enforcing startup timeouts, avoiding blocking OAuth discovery, serializing refreshes, and reusing tool catalogs safely. (32229, 32781, 32825, 33184, 33297) - Improved Windows execution and sandbox reliability, including native exec-server sandboxing, network-proxy enforcement, hidden helper consoles, and correctly quoted hook commands. (32849, 32857, 33926, 34423) - Fixed compact release-metadata parsing and macOS code-mode installation, with an in-process fallback when the external code-mode host is unavailable. (31667, 31876, 31899) - Strengthened safety and approval handling with better forced-rm detection, consistent full-access confirmation, and preserved rejection reasons across tools. (32989, 33464, 34400) Documentation - Updated the bundled OpenAI Docs skill with current GPT-5.6 model resolution, prompting, and migration guidance across macOS, Linux, and Windows. (31842, 33121) Chores - Migrated bundled GPT-5.4 selections and internal uses to the corresponding GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna variants. (33173) - Reduced startup and large-context overhead with concurrent skill/plugin discovery and more efficient remote compaction. (31566, 33369, 33423, 34431) - Updated the packaged ripgrep binary to 15.2.0.
