Gemini CLI 0.58.0 Changelog Explained

TLDR

Behind-the-scenes cleanup and safety improvements for the Gemini AI terminal tool.
Fixed a few bugs that caused errors when canceling tasks or retrying prompts.
Tightened security so the AI cannot accidentally run dangerous background programs.
This update is all about making the Gemini command-line tool more reliable and secure. It mostly matters to developers who use the tool to code, because it fixes annoying glitches with task cancellation and makes the system safer to run on Mac computers.

No major new features in this update—this one is all about fixing bugs and cleaning up the code behind the scenes.

Code Cleanup: The developers removed some old, unnecessary code (like "eslint-disable" commands) to make the tool's shell execution service run smoother and easier to maintain.
History Rollback: Tweaked how the tool handles your history when you undo an action or retry a prompt, making the whole process feel more responsive and less clunky.

Mac Security Fix: Fixed a security tool (macOS Seatbelt) so it properly blocks the AI from accidentally running background programs like Docker when it shouldn't. This keeps your computer safer by isolating those background tools.
Canceling Tasks: Fixed an issue where the AI server (which lets different agents talk to each other) would get stuck showing an old error when you tried to cancel a task, even if you started a new message.
File Ignore Rules: Fixed how the tool reads "symlinks" (file shortcuts) so it correctly ignores the files you tell it to skip.
Safety Checkers: Fixed a setup issue to make sure the tool's top-level safety systems load correctly when you change its writing permissions.

No breaking changes in this release.
