This release focuses on improving the day-to-day terminal experience: smoother input handling, more reliable interrupt controls, and stronger safeguards around sessions and large prompts.
Smoother Prompting Experience
Working with longer or more complex prompts is now significantly easier thanks to improved multiline input support and better keyboard handling across terminal environments. Input behavior is more consistent, including improved compatibility with advanced terminal keyboard protocols.
We also refined newline handling to make composing structured prompts feel more natural and predictable.
More Reliable Interrupts
Interrupting running operations is now more dependable across the board.
We improved how keyboard interrupts are handled during active processes and subprocess execution, making it easier to safely regain control when something hangs or runs longer than expected. Ctrl+C behavior in enhanced keyboard mode has also been improved for a more consistent experience.
Better Controls and Security Improvements
This release introduces additional session security protections, including support for session whitelisting and related hardening improvements.
We also added configurable prompt size limits, giving users more control over large inputs and helping prevent runaway resource usage.
Smarter Recovery Flows
When a tool execution is denied, the system can now request additional context instead of immediately failing, helping resolve interruptions more smoothly and reducing unnecessary retries.
Reliability Improvements
We fixed an issue with numeric version comparisons to ensure version handling behaves correctly across releases.
As always, thanks to everyone testing edge cases, reporting issues, and helping improve the experience release after release.
