Key Updates

Installation and Platform Support

  • Added a direct install script for macOS and Linux, distributed as a GitHub release asset using the existing platform payload (including codex and rg tools)
  • Installation via npm remains available: npm install -g @openai/codex@0.106.0

App-Server v2 Enhancements The app-server v2 thread API now includes:

  • Experimental thread-scoped realtime endpoints and notifications for live collaboration
  • New thread/unsubscribe flow allowing developers to unload threads without archiving them
  • These additions enable more flexible real-time interaction patterns within threaded conversations

JavaScript REPL Promotion

  • JavaScript REPL functionality promoted from /unstable to /experimental status
  • Added startup compatibility checks with user-visible warnings to help developers understand system requirements
  • Lowered validated minimum Node.js version requirement to 22.22.0 for broader compatibility

Collaboration and Model Access

  • Enabled request_user_input capability in Default collaboration mode (previously limited to Plan mode)
  • Made 5.3-codex model visible in CLI model list for API users, improving model discovery
  • Improved memory behavior through diff-based forgetting and usage-aware memory selection for more efficient context management

Getting Started

Update to version 0.106.0 using npm or by using the new native install script for macOS/Linux systems. Review the updated compatibility requirements for JavaScript REPL if you use that feature.
