Kimi CLI v1.42.0 Changelog

This release is a solid maintenance update that makes the Kimi command-line tool more reliable, especially for Windows users. It matters most to people who use the tool daily and want a cleaner, less glitchy experience.

What's new

• Better tracking info: The app now includes its specific name and exact build version when sending background error reports. This helps the developers know exactly which version of the tool you are using if something goes wrong.

Improvements

• Smoother Windows experience: The background system that runs commands on Windows computers has been switched from PowerShell (the default Windows command tool) to Git Bash. This generally gives developers a more consistent and reliable way to interact with your computer's system.

Fixes

• Messy screen text: Sometimes, if the AI made a mistake and had to try a step again, it would leave broken, half-finished text on your screen. This update wipes that partial text away so your screen stays clean during a retry.
• Missing /btw command: A special shortcut command (/btw) wasn't properly set up in the system, so it wouldn't work if you typed it. That is now fixed and registered correctly.
• Testing pipeline: The automated system that checks the code for errors was accidentally broken by a previous update, but it is now back up and running smoothly.
