  • •#4621 `1b13934` Thanks @Grapedge! - Allow /model and /effort while the agent is working; a turn that has already started calling the model keeps its settings, the switch applies from the next turn, and choosing Compact and continue runs after the current turn ends.
  • •#4544 `e24e1e1` Thanks @sailist! - Add support for forking running sessions and forking from a selected historical turn.
  • •#4520 `3ed0e68` Thanks @liruifengv! - Merge skills from every configured directory in multi-directory projects, with the primary directory taking precedence on name conflicts.
  • •#4062 `5f3ab5f` Thanks @7Sageer! - Add creation-time SSH, Docker, and custom-command environments; use --environment <id> and optionally --environment-cwd <path> when creating a session.
  • •#4606 `011b1d4` Thanks @wbxl2000! - Send each agent's run status, settings, context usage, goal and todo list over the server WebSocket as agent, usage, goal and todo frames; transcripts and the REST transcript endpoints no longer include meta or todos.
  • •#4540 `4b58a0c` Thanks @RealKai42! - Fix sessions sometimes still appearing in session lists right after being archived.
  • •#4543 `2d674cf` Thanks @7Sageer! - Speed up remote file reads, edits, writes, search, and completion.
  • •#4525 `8019337` Thanks @liruifengv! - Improve plugin marketplace interactions.

  • •#3733 `990580d` Thanks @gfunc! - Fix 400 "Invalid max_tokens" errors for models imported from a custom registry (api.json) by recording each model's advertised output token limit.
  • •#4627 `a5724dd` Thanks @Grapedge! - Show steered messages faded until the agent reads them, including across turns, instead of at full intensity immediately.
  • •#4541 `3a0b86e` Thanks @7Sageer! - Fix ACP initialization failing when clients send the first request during startup.
  • •#4543 `2d674cf` Thanks @7Sageer! - Fix searches failing on dot-only filenames, completion exceeding its timeout, and false directory warnings.
  • •#4600 `1401bdd` Thanks @7Sageer! - Fix local file tools in existing desktop sessions after upgrading.
  • •#4516 `be89803` Thanks @RealKai42! - Stop building the global full-text search index by default, so POST /api/v1/search reports the index as unavailable and past sessions are no longer scanned in the background; set [database] global_search = true or KIMI_CODE_GLOBAL_SEARCH=1 to turn it back on.
  • •#4477 `02d2e8f` Thanks @kimi-agent-bot! - Show backend model error messages verbatim, stop inferring quota from message wording, and require decoded model errors to carry explicit retryability for retry policies.
v2.4.1

@moonshot-ai/kimi-code@2.4.1

October 30, 2026

  • •#4553 `9140ea0` Thanks @RealKai42! - A single file read by the agent now returns at most 100,000 characters or about 25,000 tokens, whichever comes first, instead of up to 500,000 characters; set max_chars under [read] in config.toml to raise both limits again.
  • •#4521 `dbb65af` Thanks @7Sageer! - Shorten built-in tool and subagent prompts.
  • •#4521 `dbb65af` Thanks @7Sageer! - Shorten repeated goal and plan mode reminders.
  • •#4555 `480a9b0` Thanks @kimi-agent-bot! - web: Improved interactions and fixed known bugs.
v2.4.0

@moonshot-ai/kimi-code@2.4.0

October 28, 2026

  • •#4322 `44cdf8f` Thanks @Grapedge! - Allow expanding thinking during streaming with Ctrl-O
  • •#4342 `4a24ae1` Thanks @RealKai42! - Add /import-sessions and kimi import-sessions to import Claude Code and Codex sessions from the last 15 or 30 days. Run either one and choose a time range.
  • •#4284 `366fafb` Thanks @7Sageer! - Sessions in web and desktop now unload from memory after 30 minutes idle and resume transparently on next access.
  • •#4247 `0325b75` Thanks @RealKai42! - Plan mode now starts only when you turn it on, and every plan waits for your review: the agent can no longer enter Plan mode by itself, Never Ask no longer approves plans automatically, and kimi -p skips default_plan_mode and cannot approve the plan of a session that is already in Plan mode.
  • •#4316 `874d9ab` Thanks @huangzheng2016! - Add /provider refresh [providerId] to re-fetch provider model lists at runtime; unknown /provider subcommands now show a usage hint instead of opening the manager.
  • •#4347 `b3c6e0a` Thanks @Grapedge! - Report main-session and subagent status to compatible terminals with OSC 7501, including pending interactions and retained results.
  • •#4312 `01ef64e` Thanks @tpoisonooo! - Raise Tower's default agent concurrency limit from 16 to 256, support the existing max_running_tasks limit and per-spawn model selection, and reduce lock contention during inbox, review, and status processing.
  • •#4428 `461c6e9` Thanks @wbxl2000! - Fix cancelled questions showing as answered in session history.

v2.3.3

@moonshot-ai/kimi-code@2.3.3

October 26, 2026

  • •#4414 `f36c127` Thanks @RealKai42! - Stop showing a failed swarm for AgentSwarm calls rejected before any subagent starts, such as while swarm mode is off; after such a rejection, the agent points you to /swarm if you asked for a swarm.
  • •#4424 `f895f30` Thanks @liruifengv! - Update model switch confirmation prompts.
  • •#4423 `07a34fe` Thanks @RealKai42! - Show a high-usage warning when you turn on swarm mode with /swarm.
  • •#4432 `be427e0` Thanks @RealKai42! - Merge the two repeated permission-mode notice lines in the swarm and goal start confirmation prompts into one sentence each.
  • •#4443 `60c888f` Thanks @kimi-agent-bot! - web: Improved interactions and fixed known bugs.
v2.3.2

@moonshot-ai/kimi-code@2.3.2

October 25, 2026

  • •#4386 `fd2e2c7` Thanks @RealKai42! - Handle tasks directly by default instead of proactively launching subagents; request delegation explicitly in your message, AGENTS.md, a skill, or an enabled multi-agent mode.
  • •#4384 `c9a4836` Thanks @RealKai42! - Agent swarms now start only when you turn on swarm mode: the agent can no longer launch AgentSwarm by itself, so swarms are no longer available in kimi -p or ACP clients such as Zed.
v2.3.1

@moonshot-ai/kimi-code@2.3.1

October 23, 2026

  • •#4348 `c569bab` Thanks @liruifengv! - Fix workspace trust failures when Git Bash is unavailable on Windows.
  • •#4348 `c569bab` Thanks @liruifengv! - Fix sessions occasionally remaining occupied after an application crash on macOS and Linux.
  • •#4356 `0e3980e` Thanks @7Sageer! - Show the holding client's name in session-in-use errors.
  • •#4348 `c569bab` Thanks @liruifengv! - Offer to take over a session that is still in use after a retry, so sessions left locked by an exited process can be used again, and add a KIMI_CODE_SESSION_LOCK=0 switch that turns off the session lock.
  • •#4348 `c569bab` Thanks @liruifengv! - web: Improved interactions and fixed known bugs.
v2.3.0

@moonshot-ai/kimi-code@2.3.0

October 21, 2026

  • •#4294 `3f80896` Thanks @liruifengv! - Add a confirmation dialog when switching models in a session with conversation history: start a new session, compact and continue, continue directly, or cancel. Shown only when enabled by cloud configuration.
  • •#4188 `3f0857e` Thanks @oocz! - List plugin skills under their qualified <pluginId>:<skillName> name so same-named skills from different plugins all stay visible and invocable; invoking a plugin skill by its bare name no longer works, use the qualified name instead.
  • •#4214 `ef727e5` Thanks @sailist! - Support streaming large requests and responses through remote control, raising the transfer limit from 10 MiB to 100 MiB, with concurrent transfers bounded to protect memory.
  • •#4288 `df0ff3c` Thanks @github-actions! - When the same session is open in multiple clients, sending from a second one now shows an occupancy prompt with retry/cancel, or reloads updates made elsewhere first and resends your message.
  • •#4200 `5bab748` Thanks @7Sageer! - Automatically generate a session title after the first turn and show it as the terminal window title.
  • •#4250 `6e7cc90` Thanks @sailist! - Setting [permission] dangerous_command_guard = false now turns off every built-in confirmation guard — dangerous commands, sensitive-file access, and git control-path access — instead of only the dangerous-command guard.
  • •#4281 `5710c54` Thanks @sailist! - Fix session events stopping after a session is archived and restored.
  • •#4201 `83a39b4` Thanks @Grapedge! - Stop blocking the terminal while the footer reads git status.
Show more (7)
  • •#4230 `b260326` Thanks @kimi-agent-bot! - Report a clear error when thinking effort is set to off for Gemini 4 models.
  • •#4208 `20b5991` Thanks @SeleneXX! - Fix Gemini 4 requests always failing with a 400 error.
  • •#4242 `c1459a6` Thanks @wbxl2000! - Run hooks such as PreToolUse and Stop in the session's project directory, as documented, instead of the directory the server was started from.
  • •#4210 `f28c51c` Thanks @sailist! - Add the [mcp] default_deferred config key: when the experimental tool-select flag is on, set default_deferred = true in config.toml to load every MCP server's tools on demand by default; a server can opt out with deferred: false.
  • •#4171 `0327e8e` Thanks @7Sageer! - Support custom-registry model upgrade metadata in model configuration.
  • •#4188 `3f0857e` Thanks @oocz! - Allow uppercase letters, dot-separated segments, and @ suffixes in plugin names when installing plugins.
  • •#4294 `3f80896` Thanks @liruifengv! - Queue /compact while the agent is busy: the command now joins the message queue and runs in order instead of failing with an error; it is skipped if the context was auto-compacted while it waited.
v2.2.0

@moonshot-ai/kimi-code@2.2.0

October 14, 2026

  • •#4159 `0a3a2fb` Thanks @RealKai42! - Add an opt-in NotifyUser progress update feature (off by default): new sessions can show the agent's mid-turn progress with an optional one-line title, enabled in the TUI /experiments or the web/Desktop settings' Lab section; set [experimental] notify_user = true or KIMI_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_NOTIFY_USER=1 to turn it on.
  • •#4145 `242ac23` Thanks @wbxl2000! - Add kimi app [path] to open a new desktop chat in the current or specified directory.
  • •#4061 `20a2cea` Thanks @chengluyu! - Cap the agent's in-turn wait for background tasks at 90 seconds (longer timeouts are no longer accepted), discourage repeated waits, and let a new message end the wait immediately.
  • •#3998 `09af3b4` Thanks @tpoisonooo! - Tower mode: a message sent while the agent is running aborts the in-progress turn and runs as its own turn.
  • •#4031 `33e368a` Thanks @Grapedge! - Add sticky user message summaries in fullscreen mode; click a summary to jump to the original message.
  • •#4074 `c9f01f0` Thanks @tpoisonooo! - Tower mode: deterministic orchestration with TowerRebase and LLM-free status, goal/tower mutual exclusion, and workspace protection.

  • •#4081 `06ebfc8` Thanks @sailist! - Fix shifted turns and lost replies when a UserPromptSubmit hook injects text; hook JSON output without a "message" field is no longer added to the conversation.
  • •#4154 `419aced` Thanks @7Sageer! - Fix media file reading on the first turn after resuming a session.
  • •#4083 `f409caa` Thanks @sailist! - Cron tasks from the source session no longer fire inside a forked session.
  • •#4152 `f0bc988` Thanks @7Sageer! - Forked subagents now inherit the parent's available agent types, including custom agents.
  • •#4057 `a940f2f` Thanks @huangzheng2016! - Fix the permission mode switch in the goal-start approval prompt not taking effect on the v2 engine.
  • •#4081 `06ebfc8` Thanks @sailist! - Fix messages rendering out of place in sessions with a UserPromptSubmit hook.

  • •#4004 `e17ff67` Thanks @Grapedge! - Add a TUI mode setting to /settings with an experimental fullscreen layout; switching modes takes effect after restarting Kimi Code. You can also set tui_mode in ~/.kimi-code/tui.toml directly: "regular" renders into the terminal scrollback, while "fullscreen" makes parts of the UI mouse-interactive for a smoother experience.
  • •#3964 `6451f1e` Thanks @7Sageer! - Block file tools from accessing files outside the working directory through symlinks.
