This release is mostly about transitioning users to a brand-new version of the software. It matters to current users because it prepares them for the move to the next generation of the tool, while also fixing a small but annoying glitch in how errors are displayed.
What's new
- Upgrade prompts: When you use the command-line tool (the text-based interface), it will now guide you to upgrade to the new "Kimi Code." This is the successor to the current tool, meaning it's the newer version the developers want everyone to switch to.
Fixes
- Clearer error messages: Before this update, if a tool you were using crashed or failed, the error message would cut off the last little bit of text. That missing text was often the most important clue for figuring out what went wrong. The error messages were also formatted in a way that made them hard to read. Now, the full message is included and shown as easy-to-read plain text.
