Kimi CLI v1.43.0 Changelog

This update is all about making the Kimi command-line tool cleaner, smarter, and safer to use. It matters most to developers and power users who rely on this tool daily, giving them a smoother experience on the screen while the AI works more efficiently behind the scenes.

What's new

• A cleaner interface: The text spacing in the terminal is improved, web links are highlighted so they are easier to spot, and pop-up notifications stay on screen for a better amount of time.
• Smarter tool use: If the AI tries to use the exact same tool twice in a row, or repeats a tool it already used in a previous step, the system now catches this and skips the duplicate action. This saves time and computing power.
• Better behind-the-scenes tracking: The system that tracks how the app is performing (telemetry) got an upgrade. It now gives developers better details about how tasks finish and what kind of errors happen, helping them fix issues faster.
• Mac Intel support: There is now a specific release built for older Mac computers running on Intel (x64) processors.

Improvements

• Upgraded internal skills: The built-in tools the AI uses to generate changelogs and manage releases have been leveled up.
• Better login security: The system that handles logins for external tools (known as OAuth) got a storage upgrade, making connections more reliable.

Fixes

• Subagent memory glitch: Sometimes, when an AI "helper" (a subagent) was working in a strict planning mode, it would lose important reminders about the rules it needed to follow. This is fixed, so the helpers stay on track.
• Security patch: A security flaw (known as a CVE) was found in an image-processing library called Pillow that the app relies on. The library was updated to version 12.2.0 to close this security hole.
