This release is all about smoothing out the user experience and setting the stage for the future. It matters most to developers and power users who rely on this tool in their terminal every day, as it fixes frustrating freezes and paves the way for the next generation of the software.

What's new

  • A fresh welcome screen: When you open the tool, the welcome message now supports styled text (like colors and bolding) and points you to a helpful new web link at kimi.com/code.
  • Project evolution announcement: The documentation and banners now officially announce that this tool is evolving into a successor project called Kimi Code.

Improvements

  • Better language routing: Fixed the website's automatic language redirect so the documentation loads in the correct language for your region without glitching.

Fixes

  • Terminal freeze on exit: Sometimes, when you tried to close the app, the terminal would hang or freeze (known as a "TTY hang"). This update cleanly shuts down background connections (called MCP connections) so the app closes exactly when you tell it to.
  • Missing chat history: If you reopened a previous session, your past conversation history wasn't always showing up. This bug is now squashed, so the app correctly replays your history right when you load it.
