v2026.2.8: Hooks Get Their Act Together

on GitHub

This release focuses on hooks—fixing 12 community-reported issues that were making them unreliable. There are also some nice quality-of-life improvements for Node.js and Ruby users.

Highlights

Hooks overhaul — A comprehensive fix for the hooks system addressing a dozen issues reported by the community. Global hooks now actually work, hook execution order is corrected (leave fires before enter), infinite loops in fish shell are fixed, and postinstall hooks can now find all installed tools. #8058

Node version detection from package.json — mise now reads tool versions directly from package.json using the devEngines and packageManager fields. This means your Node, Bun, pnpm, yarn, and npm versions can be auto-detected without a separate .tool-versions or mise.toml file. Semver ranges are simplified automatically (>=18.0.0 → 18). #8059

Precompiled Ruby goes stable — You can now use precompiled Ruby binaries by setting ruby.compile=false without needing experimental=true. This will become the default in 2026.8.0. If you haven't tried it, precompiled Ruby installs in seconds instead of minutes. #8052

New Features

• --dry-run-code flag — Added to install, upgrade, prune, uninstall, and use commands. Behaves like --dry-run but exits with code 1 when there's work to do, enabling patterns like if ! mise install --dry-run-code -q; then mise install; fi #8063

Bug Fixes

• MISE_ARCH override — The bun and erlang plugins now respect MISE_ARCH at runtime, which is useful for Windows ARM64 users running x64 binaries under emulation #8062
• key=value format — mise settings set, mise settings add, mise config set, and mise shell-alias set now accept key=value as a single argument #8053

Registry

• Added quicktype (npm:quicktype) — thanks @zdunecki! #8054

Dependencies

• Upgraded to TOML 1.1 support via toml 0.9 and toml_edit 0.24 #8057
