OpenAI Codex CLI — August 2026 Releases

What's new in OpenAI Codex CLI, August 2026

OpenAI Codex CLI adds agents dashboard, /export, session forking and Bedrock support

OpenAI Codex CLI's August 2026 releases focused on session management and multi-task work: a codex agents dashboard for searching, starting, renaming and stopping tasks, codex queue for messaging existing sessions, codex exec fork for forking sessions, and /export to write a conversation to Markdown. Eight releases shipped, from rust-v0.146.1 to rust-v0.151.0.

Other additions include the --approve-for-me flag for automatically reviewed approvals, Amazon Bedrock as a built-in provider, opt-in MCP 2026-07-28 protocol support, and Agent Plugins searchable across local, personal, workspace and remote catalogs. Later releases added @ mentions for tasks, a /copy picker, /cd, /pwd and /cwd commands, and extension hooks over MCP tool results. Security work ran throughout: secret redaction in command history, explicit trust for unfamiliar projects, and sandbox enforcement fixes. rust-v0.149.1 listed only a changelog link.
