// HOW THIS ISSUE IS MADE

We read every release from the 174 tools on our watchlist at the source — GitHub and GitLab release notes, vendor release pages and changelogs, project blogs and feeds, vendor press releases, and the source code behind the tag. Bug-fix-only releases and non-product newsroom noise are dropped; what's left is summarized down to the new capability, how to try it, and any screenshots or videos the release itself published. Every entry links to the sources it was built from.

AI & LLM Tooling

◆ AI Coding Agents

Earendil Works Pi

v0.52.9 NOTES

AI agent toolkit: unified LLM API, agent loop, TUI, coding agent CLI

Pi v0.52.9 adds hot-reload for extensions, short disable flag aliases, and richer tool introspection via getAllTools().

└──▷ GET THIS VERSION

$ git clone --branch v0.52.9 https://github.com/earendil-works/pi.git
# already have the repo? check out this version:
$ git checkout v0.52.9

└──▷ USE IT

Trigger a live reload of the Pi runtime from inside an extension — useful when your extension detects a config change and needs to restart the agent without manual intervention.

typescript

ctx.reload();

Launch Pi quickly in a scripting context without loading extensions, skills, or prompt templates.

$ pi -ne -ns -np

Introspect all available tools and their full parameter schemas from within an extension to build dynamic dispatch or validation logic.

typescript

const tools = pi.getAllTools();
for (const tool of tools) {
  console.log(tool.name, tool.description, tool.parameters);
}

›New ctx.reload() extension API method triggers a full runtime reload, enabling hot-reloading of configuration or restarting the agent programmatically.
›New short CLI aliases -ne, -ns, and -np for --no-extensions, --no-skills, and --no-prompt-templates speed up interactive usage and scripting.
›Exported /export HTML sessions now include collapsible tool input schemas (parameter names, types, descriptions) for easier session review and sharing.
›pi.getAllTools() now returns tool parameters in addition to name and description, enabling richer extension integrations.

v0.10.0-nightly.20260208.36931e1e NOTES

Qwen Code v0.10.0 adds session resume, history export (Markdown/HTML), Agent Skills GA, and a Java SDK alpha.

└──▷ GET THIS VERSION

$ git clone --branch v0.10.0-nightly.20260208.36931e1e https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code.git
# already have the repo? check out this version:
$ git checkout v0.10.0-nightly.20260208.36931e1e

└──▷ TRY IT

Resume a previous conversation in a non-interactive pipeline without losing context.

$ qwen query --session-id <your-session-id> 'Continue the refactor from where we left off'

Archive a finished session as a shareable HTML report or Markdown document.

$ qwen export --format html --output session-report.html

›Adds --session-id support to the query command for resuming previous sessions mid-conversation.
›Adds an export command for session history, outputting in Markdown and HTML formats.
›SDK gains resume and continue options plus extended authType support.
›Adds FORK_MODE to ProcessTransport for Electron IPC integration.
›Promotes Agent Skills from experimental to stable.

+5 moreshow less

›Introduces a Java SDK alpha (Feat/javasdk alpha 202501).
›Adds a large-paste placeholder in the CLI UI to handle oversized input on macOS.
›Debug mode now routes all console calls to a logfile-first debugLogger instead of stdout.
›Removes the read_many_files tool and replaces it with a readManyFiles utility scoped to user @-commands.
›Adds a hint in the UI for installing external-source extensions.

└──▷ BREAKING ON UPGRADE

!Settings previously named with disable* prefixes are renamed to enable* (e.g. disableX becomes enableX); any config referencing the old names will break.
!The read_many_files tool is removed; integrations invoking it directly must migrate to the new readManyFiles @-command utility.
!The Smart Edit tool and ClearcutLogger are removed; any workflows depending on them will no longer function.
