New Features
- The Python SDK now supports first-class authentication, including API key login, ChatGPT browser and device-code flows, account inspection, and logout APIs. (#23093)
- Python turn APIs are easier to use for text-only workflows: you can pass a plain string as input, and handle-based runs now return a richer
TurnResultwith collected items, timing, and usage data. (#23151, #23162) codex exec resumenow accepts--output-schema, so resumed automations can keep session context while still enforcing structured JSON output. (#23123)- TUI startup is faster because terminal capability probes are now batched instead of waiting on several serial checks before the first interactive frame. (#23175)
- Remote executor registration can now use standard Codex auth instead of a separate registry credential flow. (#22769)
- App-server turns can preserve requested image fidelity, including original-resolution local images, across user inputs and image-producing tools. (#20693)
Bug Fixes
- Goal continuations now stop when they hit usage limits or a repeated blocker instead of looping and burning more tokens, and completion responses phrase usage more naturally. (#23094, #22907)
- The session picker is easier to trust: renamed threads now show
name (thread-id)in resume hints, and pasted text works in the picker search box. (#23234, #23338) - Multi-session TUI flows are more reliable: in-progress MCP calls stay marked as active during replay, and elicitation replies are sent back to the thread that requested them. (#23236, #23241)
- Remote sessions now keep websocket connections alive and show repo-relative diff paths again instead of
/tmp/...-prefixed paths. (#23226, #23261) - Windows installs are more robust:
codex doctornow detects npm-managed installs correctly, and MSVC release binaries no longer depend on separately installed VC++ runtime DLLs. (#22967, #22905) - TUI polish fixes include immediate shutdown feedback on exit, hiding the ChatGPT usage link for non-OpenAI providers, and keeping a cleared Fast tier from reappearing after side-thread resume. (#23323, #23127, #23121)
Documentation
- The Python SDK docs, FAQ, and examples were refreshed around the new auth flow and turn APIs, with clearer setup guidance and simpler text-only examples. (#22941, #23093, #23151, #23162)
Chores
- Memory summaries are now versioned and rebuilt when the stored format is stale, which should keep long-lived memory context leaner and more predictable. (#23148)
