Copilot CLI v1.0.40-1: Azure DevOps Support & Session Fixes
Copilot CLI 1.0.40-1 adds Azure DevOps auto-detection, rolls out session history to all users, and fixes session resumption bugs. Faster startup with async certificate loading.
TL;DR
- Azure DevOps repos now auto-disable GitHub MCP server to prevent conflicts
- Session history and /chronicle command rolled out to all users
- CLI startup faster with async CA certificate loading; session resumption bugs fixed
New
- Azure DevOps detection — automatically disables the GitHub MCP server when working in Azure DevOps repositories, eliminating manual configuration headaches
- Session history & /chronicle — file tracking and the /chronicle command now available to all users (previously limited)
- Skills as slash commands — ACP clients like Zed can now use skills as slash commands, matching the CLI experience
Improved
- Faster startup — custom CA certificates now load asynchronously, reducing CLI initialization time
- Remote control links — timeline now shows the full URL instead of just "Open in browser"
- Live agent planning — ACP clients display the agent's live plan as it works through multi-step tasks
- Statusline customization — new toggle for custom statusLine.command visibility in the statusline picker
Fixed
- Session resumption no longer falsely reports sessions as in use after unexpected CLI process exits
- --config-dir propagation — now correctly passes to plugin subcommands; --config-dir is deprecated in favor of COPILOT_HOME
- Mouse selection now works while the /ask response dialog is open, allowing content to be highlighted and copied
Update with: npm install -g @github/copilot-cli@latest
