What's New is an index, not a publisher: every entry below links to the vendor's own release notes, which are the authoritative source. Entries are labelled where they are hand-curated sample data, pre-releases, or drawn from a secondary source such as a developer blog.

Reuse: the summaries, labels and curation here are © What's New. Quote freely with attribution and a link back; wholesale republication of the corpus is not permitted — terms: https://whatsnew.fyi/terms. The vendors' own release notes remain their publishers'.

- **added** — Add xhigh reasoning effort support for Grok 4.6
- **changed** — Path-sourced plugins in a local (directory-source) marketplace now load live from their real directory, so editing one takes effect on /restart or a new session without /plugin update
- **changed** — Skills and custom agents are discovered from directories added with --add-dir
- **fixed** — Signing out of an account now clears its cached enterprise managed settings, so signing back in generally re-fetches the policy rather than re-applying the one cached before sign-out
