v2026.1.11: Speed Demons and Scoped Providers

on GitHub

This release focuses on performance improvements and fixing several edge cases that affected users with complex configurations. The headline changes include significant startup time reduction for mise x (exec) and a new consolidated manifest system that replaces the per-tool .mise.backend files, making tool installations cleaner and faster.

Configuration management gets more flexible with support for loading .config/miserc.toml in local directories, and the prepare providers are now properly scoped to their defining config files—fixing issues where providers could leak between projects.

Highlights

• Faster mise x startup - Reduced overhead when running commands through mise x, which should be noticeable for frequently executed commands (#7890)
• Consolidated backend manifest - Tool installations now use a single manifest file instead of individual .mise.backend files per tool, improving both performance and disk organization (#7892)
• Local .config/miserc.toml support - You can now place mise configuration in .config/miserc.toml within your project directory, following XDG conventions (#7896) - thanks @scop!

Bug Fixes

• Scoped prepare providers - Prepare providers are now correctly scoped to their defining config file, preventing unintended interactions between projects (#7889)
• GitHub cache path fix - Resolved an issue where clearing cache for GitHub backend tools used incorrect paths (#7907)
• macOS .app bundle support - The GitHub backend now properly discovers binaries inside macOS .app bundles (#7885)
• Task --help behavior - Running mise run <task> --help now shows task info instead of trying to execute when no usage spec is defined (#7893)
• Task wait_for fixes - Fixed issues with wait_for when using environment overrides, and outputs are now properly re-rendered (#7888)

vfox Improvements

• Module hooks now receive the constructed environment when using cmd.exec, enabling more powerful plugin behavior (#7908)

Documentation

• Added documentation explaining MISE_GITLAB_TOKEN for accessing private GitLab repositories - thanks @lchagnoleau! (#7902)
