## Recent releases

| Version | Date | Urgency | Changes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `v9.2.0` | 2026-05-19 | High | # 🔥 What's New in v9.2.0? The era of manual system administration is officially over! ZAI Shell v9.2.0 introduces game-changing autonomy, deeper context awareness, and bulletproof safety features.  ### 🤖 1. Full Autonomy (`--auto`) Don't just give ZAI a command; give it a mission! By adding the `--auto` flag, ZAI enters a loop. It executes steps, reads terminal outputs, fixes its own errors, and loops until the task is **100% complete**.   ### ⏪ 2. 1-Click Rollback (`undo`) Trusted the |
| `v9.1.0` | 2026-05-12 | High | ### ✨ What's New * **Background Watch System (`--watch`)**: Tell Zai to monitor anything (RAM, files, processes). It writes a custom stateful script and runs it in the background, alerting you instantly when conditions are met. * **Visual Context (Ctrl+Shift+Z)**: Zai can now see what you see. Press the hotkey to capture your screen and send it to Zai's vision model for context-aware debugging. * **Fixer Mode**: A brand new operational mode (`fixer`). It ignores generic chatter and acts as a |
| `v9.0.3` | 2026-02-07 | Low | This release fixes a critical security vulnerability that could allow unauthenticated remote code execution when using P2P terminal sharing in `--no-ai` mode.  All users are strongly advised to upgrade immediately.  See the GitHub Security Advisory for full details. |
| `v9.0.2` | 2026-02-01 | Low | ### 🐛 Bug Fix  - Fixed PostHog/ChromaDB version conflict causing telemetry errors (Thanks @neodev27!)  ### 📦 Important  After updating, run: ```bash pip install --upgrade chromadb posthog |
| `v9.0.1` | 2026-01-26 | Low | ## What's New  ### Sentinel 1.5 - Complete Rewrite Sentinel is no longer a simple risk scorer. It is now a **behavioral intelligence system** that understands context, learns from mistakes, and knows when you are panicking.  **Key Features:** - **4-Dimension Risk Breakdown**: Every action is analyzed across Structural, Behavioral, Contextual, and Intent dimensions - **Panic Mode Detection**: Detects user frustration through language patterns ("please work", "trying again") and adjusts ris |
| `v9.0` | 2026-01-18 | Low | Sentinel Mode Added: A new safety layer that analyzes user intent to prevent dangerous actions autonomously.  Smart Path Logic Removed: Removed manual path correction to allow the AI full control over filesystem paths without interference. |
| `v8.1.2` | 2026-01-03 | Low | ## 🔧 Bug Fixes  - Fixed keyboard import error when package is not installed - Added keyboard availability check for GUI automation - Program no longer crashes if keyboard module is missing  Thanks to @babayagaga2 for the contribution! 🙏 |
| `v8.1.1` | 2026-01-03 | Low | ## 🔧 Encoding Fix  - Removed hardcoded encoding defaults - AI now selects the appropriate encoding for each task - System encoding used as fallback when AI doesn't specify - Fixed shell selection in hybrid plan execution |
| `v8.1` | 2026-01-02 | Low | ### New Features  **🔑 Enhanced Encryption System** - `share encrypt` - View current encryption status and full key - `share encrypt random` - Generate random key (displays full key for sharing) - `share encrypt key <key>` - Use a specific Fernet key - `share encrypt on/off` - Toggle encryption - Encryption state now persists between sessions  **🚫 No-AI Mode for P2P** - `share start --no-ai` - Start terminal sharing without AI processing - Helper sends actual commands (e.g., `dir`, n |
| `v8.0` | 2026-01-01 | Low | ### Major Features  #### Multi-Client P2P Terminal Sharing  ZAI Shell v8.0 includes a peer-to-peer terminal sharing system that enables collaboration between multiple users. The architecture supports one host and multiple helper clients, communicating over TCP sockets with optional end-to-end encryption.  **Key Capabilities:**  * **Multi-client support**: One host can handle multiple concurrent helper connections * **Real-time communication**: Message broadcasting, command sharing, and |
