Pi v0.79.1 adds Claude Fable 5 model support with adaptive thinking and xhigh effort mode. New features include default positional arguments in prompt templates (${1:-7}), configurable project trust defaults, and improved extension autocomplete without slash-command prefixes. Extension developers get new APIs like ctx.isProjectTrusted() and areExperimentalFeaturesEnabled feature guards. The update is backward compatible and can be deployed routinely without breaking changes.

Pi v0.79.0 introduces project trust for local inputs with saved decisions and CLI controls. Extensions can now control trust decisions for global and CLI contexts. The interactive footer displays cache-hit visibility, and SDK plus RPC extension surfaces have been enhanced with public exports. No breaking changes or security updates included.

Pi v0.78.1 adds provider support for Ant Ling, NVIDIA NIM, and MiniMax-M3. Extensions receive enhanced context information through ctx.mode and ctx.getSystemPromptOptions(), enabling distinction between TUI, RPC, JSON, and print modes. Documentation now includes containerization guidance and a Gondolin extension example. The update is recommended with no migration required.

Pi v0.78.0 introduces primarily usability improvements and extension development enhancements. New features include named startup sessions via --name/-n flag, clickable file tool paths with OSC 8 hyperlinks, and resume command hints when exiting interactive sessions. For extension authors, convertToPng, parseArgs, and Args type have been exported. Additionally, custom Amazon Bedrock request header support was added. This routine update requires no migration and introduces no breaking changes.

Pi v0.77.0 adds support for Claude Opus 4.8 and introduces selective tool disabling via the --exclude-tools flag. The release includes headless Codex subscription login using device-code authentication. Extension developers get streaming-aware input handling through InputEvent.streamingBehavior. This is a routine update with no breaking changes requiring migration.

Pi v0.76.0 delivers improvements for automation and stability. New features include explicit session IDs via --session-id parameter, better RPC output control with excludeFromContext flag, and optimized provider retry mechanisms with bounded wait times. Additionally, terminal editing has been made more stable across environments through improved capability detection. The update is backward compatible and can be deployed routinely.

pi v0.75.5 delivers performance improvements and UI enhancements. The read tool now shows cleaner output with collapsed cards displaying only read lines, while file tools run faster on Windows through async filesystem operations. Package updates become more reliable with git ref reconciliation. Additional features include custom Anthropic-compatible adaptive thinking support, standardized unified patches for edit tool results, and a vendored native helper replacing the koffi dependency. Routine update with no breaking changes.
