0.140.0 — Codex Cli - Product release notes & changelog tool

New Features

Added /usage views for daily, weekly, and cumulative account token activity. (#27925)
/goal now preserves oversized text, large pasted blocks, and image attachments, including in remote app-server sessions. (#27508, #27509, #27510)
Added permanent session deletion through codex delete, /delete, and app-server thread/delete, with confirmation safeguards and subagent cleanup. (#25018, #27476)
Added /import for selectively importing setup, project configuration, and recent chats from Claude Code. (#27070, #27071, #27703)
Typing @ now opens the unified mentions menu for files, plugins, and skills by default. (#27499)
Added managed Amazon Bedrock API-key authentication and encrypted local storage for CLI and MCP OAuth credentials. (#27443, #27689, #27504, #27535, #27539, #27541)

Bug Fixes

Corrupted SQLite state databases are now backed up and rebuilt automatically from rollout data, including malformed database-directory cases. (#26859, #27719)
Prevented /review from crashing when Esc is pressed with queued guidance, while preserving that guidance when the review is canceled. (#22879)
Improved MCP reliability by retrying transient startup failures, reporting unusable OAuth credentials as logged out, and preserving explicitly disabled servers. (#25147, #26713, #27414)
Fixed remote plugin uninstall requests and correctly surfaced apps requiring authentication during installation. (#27085, #27223)
Persisted “Don’t remind me” update dismissals reliably and cleared stale running-hook indicators after completed turns. (#27619, #27783)
Non-TTY background commands can now be interrupted with Ctrl-C while preserving their final output and exit status. (#26734)

Documentation

Clarified contributor guidance around keeping crate APIs narrow and supporting Linux, macOS, and Windows. (#27939, #27966)

Chores

Improved responsiveness for large repositories and long sessions by preserving Git’s built-in filesystem monitor, avoiding duplicate history reads, accelerating archive lookup, and caching turn-diff rendering. (#26880, #27031, #27276, #27489)
Removed the experimental /realtime voice controls and related audio dependencies from the TUI. (#27801)
