Source: https://fx.sh/changelog
v0.0.10
Sep 14, 20266.17mibfx now completes turns up to 1.6ร faster and starts model requests up to 2.5ร faster.
Improvements
- Speed gains vary with session length and usage. Longer sessions improve the most.
- Shell failures now give the model clearer recovery guidance.
/tracenow provides better diagnostics for session-title issues.- System notices have a cleaner visual treatment.
Bug Fixes
- Resume recovery now restores shell activity more reliably.
- Scrollback retention is more reliable when resuming long conversations.
- Resolved questions and answers now render cleanly across terminal widths.
Security
- MCP errors now have stronger secret protection.
v0.0.9
Sep 12, 20266.17mibfx can now use a frontier model for steering, then delegate to cheaper models to implement. Subagents keep running while you steer, can have different models and reasoning levels, and take feedback mid-task. Weโre accomplishing this without any new commands or concepts, just chat with fx.
Breaking Changes
- For simplicity,
\!in the composer is just prompt text now. It no longer starts a terminal session. Commands go through the agent and the usual approval flow.
New Features
- Subagents can use their own model and reasoning effort. Use GPT-6, Astra, or Fable 5.1 to steer, then delegate implementation to Kimi K3.
- You can send feedback to a running named subagent without interrupting its current tool. The final result still comes back to the parent conversation.
- New conversations get a short title from the first prompt. Turn generated session titles off in
/settings. - Press
ctrl\+pwhile writing to open the model picker. Your draft and attached images stay where they are. - ACP clients can set reasoning effort on supported models. They can also replay earlier tool calls as structured events.
- New runnable
libfxexamples forNode.js,browsers,Next.js, andNuxt.
Improvements
fx \-candfx \-\-continuenow resume the workspaceโs remembered conversation without a full session scan.- Compaction now shows in the activity row. If you send a message while itโs running, it waits, then runs with the compacted context.
- Assistant Markdown now renders nested emphasis, links, code spans, lists, fenced code blocks, and entities the way GitHub does.
@~,@\., and@\.\.open the home directory, workspace, and parent directory. No trailing slash needed. File suggestions also stay put while you browse and refine them.- Escape needs a second press within one second to interrupt active work. ctrl+c clears a non-empty composer first; with an empty composer, it interrupts active work, then exits fx on the next press.
Bug Fixes
- Running subagents keep going if a file lookup fails. Follow-up messages also donโt leave named subagents stuck.
- AI Gateway now applies the reasoning effort you selected on chat requests. Prompts with images no longer fail on the v4 endpoint.
- Long replies no longer shuffle transcript rows or overwrite the last character on a full-width terminal line.
- MCP OAuth now works with servers that support PKCE but leave
noneout of their metadata, including Slack MCP.
Security
- Auto mode now checks which terminal session itโs sending input to, including after a resume.
- Auto mode no longer reuses an earlier safety-review decision when judging a later action.
- Auto mode no longer raises false cautions when you use a credential with the service itโs for, or with a local test process.
v0.0.8
Sep 7, 20266.01mibfx is smaller, simpler, and faster. libfx initialization in Node / browser is over 40ร faster; fx binary is 2.8% smaller. fx uses a simpler, more reliable shell, context compaction is optimized per model, and steering is now the default.

v0.0.7
Aug 29, 20266.19mibMCP is safer, easier to manage and more compatible; project servers require explicit trust,fx mcpis now a top-level command,Ctrl\+Entercan steer active turns and fx uses eight fewer tools to preserve context.
Breaking Changes
- Model selection:
/modelnow handles the full selection flow, from quick choices to the complete catalog. - **Fewer filesystem tools:**fx now advertises eight fewer tools for better accuracy and more context, with
terminalhandling core filesystem operations.
New Features
- **Active-turn steering:**While fx is working,
Ctrl\+Entersteers the active turn at the next model boundary.Enterstill queues an ordinary follow-up, and late steering becomes the next queued turn. - Collapsed tool calls:
/settingsnow includesCollapse tool calls, which shows one summary per tool-call group in the main transcript. Individual calls remain available in the full transcript withCtrl\+O. - **Project MCP configuration:**Workspaces can now define project MCP servers in
\.mcp\.jsonalongside profile servers. - Top-level MCP management:
fx mcpis now a top-level command withadd,list,path,remove,auth,logout, andtrust. - **Capability discovery:**fx can now search installed skills and configured MCP tools together from a natural-language request, then load or select the exact match before use.

fx mcp listreports configuration and saved authentication without connecting to servers. Add\-\-connectfor live discovery and health checks. - **Structured final output:**In
fx ask \-\-json,outputcontains all assistant Markdown andfinal\_outputcontains only a completed final response. Interrupted, failed, and background turns return an emptyfinal\_output. - **ACP session discovery:**ACP
session/listnow lists sessions across workspaces whencwdis omitted, includes saved titles, and paginates results in groups of 100.
Improvements
- **Transcript visibility:**Menus now open inline, so the transcript stays visible while you browse.
- **Focused menus:**Menus now use category, scope, and provider filters to show more relevant options.
- **Usage visibility:**Usage data now loads without blocking the interface and tracks token and request totals without double counting.
- MCP diagnostics:
fx statusandfx doctornow report configured servers and project configuration errors without starting servers or loading credentials. - MCP profile compatibility:
~/\.fx/mcp\.jsonnow acceptsmcpServersas an alias formcp, while every write usesmcp. - **Live turn feedback:**Submitted prompts, turn progress, elapsed time, and token usage now stay visible throughout the turn.

- **Automatic reviews:**Automatic permission reviews now allow more time before reporting that review is unavailable.
- **System prompt overrides:**Command help now documents temporary system-prompt replacement while keeping tool, skill, project, and runtime context.
Bug Fixes
- **Transcript stability:**Streaming responses no longer move scrollback or rewrite completed output.
- **Environment compatibility:**Interactive input now works correctly on WSL, and browser-hosted fx stops unsupported network work instead of retrying it.
- **Retry recovery:**Automatic retries now show progress, clear stale state, and stop silent Gateway attempts.
- **Terminal cleanup:**Timed-out and cancelled commands stop cleanly, keep accurate outcomes after resume, and avoid unsafe retries when completion cannot be confirmed.
- **Terminal recovery:**Sessions recover from host shutdown, accept input without a helper restart, and return control when the turn ends.
- **Saved tool output:**Saved results remain readable when a generated handle omits its file suffix.
- **MCP reliability:**MCP servers now start, stop, reconnect, and report errors more consistently across modern and legacy implementations.
- **Subagents and approvals:**Subagents keep their reasoning settings, and visible child approvals continue receiving input while the view refreshes.
- **ACP responses:**ACP clients receive clean Markdown, and resumed responses no longer repeat text already delivered.
- Undo safety:
/undonow keeps the original file intact when a restore cannot be completed and refuses attempts redirected through a new symlink.
Security
- **Signed macOS releases:**Stable macOS releases are now signed and notarized before packaging.
- **Project MCP protections:**Project servers and environment values remain inactive until approval, tool calls are checked again before reaching a server, and ambiguous configuration writes are refused.

Ecosystem highlights
v0.0.6
Aug 25, 20266.12mibAuto mode is safer, faster, and more token-efficient; approval workflows are up to 23% faster, and the macOS arm64 binary is 0.3% smaller (6.12 MiB vs 6.13 MiB).
Breaking Changes
- Terminal presentation:
/appearance,/input, and/maxxinghave been removed along with their saved settings. fx now uses the same input and transcript layout everywhere. - Foreground command timeouts:
terminal\.execcalls now requiretimeout\_msbetween 1 millisecond and 10 minutes. Useterminal\.startfor services, watchers, GUI apps, and other long-running work.
New Features
- Remote MCP servers:
/mcp add \-\-transport http <name\> <url\>now saves or replaces a remote Streamable HTTP server and reloads MCP immediately. The existing local stdio form is unchanged. - **Retained command output:**Captured command output can now be read later with
read\_tool\_result, including after a saved session resumes. With\-\-no\-save, output remains available until fx exits.
Improvements
- **Auto mode review prompts:**Auto mode now uses fewer tokens when reviewing unresolved actions.
- **Native binary size:**The macOS arm64 binary is 0.3% smaller (6.12 MiB vs 6.13 MiB).
- **Gateway defaults:**New Gateway sessions now use Kimi K3 with Fast mode enabled by default.
- Setup hub:
/setupnow groups sign-in methods under Connections and shows the current provider, Vercel team, and credential source. Child screens return to the setup hub, and active sign-in controls remain visible in compact terminals. - **Provider model preferences:**Gateway, Codex, and Grok now keep separate saved model selections, so switching providers no longer replaces another providerโs preferred model.
- **Subscription session longevity:**Codex and Grok sessions remain usable beyond 64 consecutive requests.
- **Usage tracking:**Rejected completions no longer appear in usage tracking, and duplicate completion callbacks are recorded once.
- **MCP discovery:**MCP searches still find the selected tool when a request includes surrounding context, and another serverโs authentication failure no longer replaces an empty search result.
- **MCP authentication:**MCP authentication stays responsive while configuration reloads or logout is in progress, and pending authentication stops when MCP reloads or fx exits.
- **Linked skill errors:**Linked skill errors now distinguish an unavailable linked directory from an unreadable
SKILL\.mdand explain whether to repair, remove, or authorize the link. - Live permission modes:
Shift\+Tabpermission-mode changes now apply to later tool calls in the current turn. Actions already in progress keep the mode under which they were admitted. - **Tool action summaries:**Denied and deferred tool rows now show the actual command or target, and those details and denial labels survive session resume.
Bug Fixes
- **Terminal resize:**Terminal resizing no longer leaves empty scrollback behind.
- **Subscription sign-in:**Codex and Grok sign-ins now survive unrelated, stalled, reset, or stale browser connections. Grok authorization codes can also be pasted when the browser cannot return to fx.

- **MCP stdio environments:**Configured MCP stdio environment variables now override inherited values without discarding the rest of the child environment.
- **Captured command failures:**Captured command output remains readable after timeout or cancellation. Output-capture failures now fail the tool call instead of returning an incomplete result.
- **Resumed review labels:**The
Safety cautionandReview unavailablelabels now survive session resume.
Security
- **Exact-action reviews:**Auto mode reviews each unresolved action against the current request and relevant results from the current turn. A clear review applies only to that exact unchanged action and is checked again before execution.
- **Blocked cautions:**Cautioned or unavailable actions remain blocked without opening a permission prompt or ending the turn.
- **Untrusted tool output:**Actions copied from untrusted tool output remain blocked unless the userโs request independently authorizes them.
- **Current-branch pushes:**Explicit pushes to the current branch use the branch reported by the local Git checkout rather than repository text.
- **Provider recovery authority:**After restart, fx continues unfinished Codex or Grok work only for the account that started it. If that account cannot be verified, fx preserves completed work and sends nothing.
- **Sensitive command output:**Command output flagged as sensitive is not saved with the session, including secrets split across output chunks or oversized lines.
- **OAuth callback validation:**OAuth authorization denials and successes apply only when the callback state matches the active sign-in attempt, and Grok browser callbacks accept only the expected xAI origin.
- **MCP issuer validation:**MCP sign-in stops before exchanging a token or saving credentials when the authorization response comes from a different issuer than the server advertised.
