# Release notes

These notes describe published Anaconda CLI releases. Prereleases are labeled in their entries.

For installation and update behavior, see [Update the CLI](https://anaconda.com/docs/cli-reference/anaconda-cli/self-update.md). Each entry links to its published GitHub release for the full change history.

**0.3.0 prerelease**

2026-09-24

> [!NOTE]
>
> This is a prerelease. The changes in this entry are not available in the stable v0.2.4 release.

**What's changed**

* Renamed the experimental `ana ob` command to `ana platform` on supported Unix platforms and removed the experimental feature requirement.
* Added login requirements for commands that manage tools, configure features, and access services. Authentication commands, self-update, feedback, and installer downloads remain available without login.
* Added direct setup of AI coding assistants with `ana mcp`, including installation of the Anaconda Intelligence skill.
* Added `ana channel create`, `ana channel remove`, and `ana channel upload` for private channels and packages.
* Added subscription-based channel selection and a terms-of-service disclaimer for `main-x`, and removed its beta designation.
* Added support for a conda-package build, with self-update and managed tool installation disabled because conda manages those operations.

**What's fixed**

* Cleaned up broken symlinks in `~/.ana/bin` during tool management.
* Added a warning when disabling `main-x` for one tool leaves it enabled for the other.
* Prevented duplicated multi-select prompts in narrow terminals.
* Forwarded help requests to the wrapped CLI for `ana org` and supported `ana platform` commands.

[Full release notes - 0.3.0](https://github.com/anaconda/anaconda-cli/releases/tag/v0.3.0)

**0.2.4**

2026-07-28

**What's new**

* Added automatic update notifications after successful commands. Notifications do not install updates and can be disabled with `ANA_UPDATE_CHECK=false`.

**What's fixed**

* Changed the `main-x` conda configuration to use `default_channels` instead of adding entries to `channels`.

[Full release notes - 0.2.4](https://github.com/anaconda/anaconda-cli/releases/tag/v0.2.4)

**0.2.3**

2026-07-14

**Improvements**

* Updated terminal colors for better portability.
* Clarified when to restart the shell after installation.
* Updated MCP command wrappers and added typed arguments to their help output.

**What's fixed**

* Updated managed tools to use the versions included with each ana release.

[Full release notes - 0.2.3](https://github.com/anaconda/anaconda-cli/releases/tag/v0.2.3)

**0.2.2**

2026-06-18

**What's new**

* Added an externally managed installers table to `ana tool list`.

**What's fixed**

* Improved error messages for unknown subcommands.

[Full release notes - 0.2.2](https://github.com/anaconda/anaconda-cli/releases/tag/v0.2.2)

**0.2.1**

2026-06-16

**What's fixed**

Fixed a release build caching issue that prevented some v0.2.0 changes from being compiled into its binary. This release rebuilds the CLI with the changes described in the v0.2.0 entry; it does not add application features beyond those changes.

[Full release notes - 0.2.1](https://github.com/anaconda/anaconda-cli/releases/tag/v0.2.1)

**0.2.0**

2026-06-15

> [!WARNING]
>
> A build caching issue left some of the following changes out of the v0.2.0 binary. Use v0.2.1 or later to obtain the corrected build.

**Breaking changes**

Removed the managed `anaconda` symlink to avoid shadowing the command in conda's base environment. Use `ana org` for the wrapped Anaconda.org commands.

**What's new**

Added `ana tool download miniconda` to download the installer for the current platform and verify its checksum. The command does not run the installer.

**What's fixed**

* Sent the HTTP status from `ana api fetch` to standard error, and added validation for empty or invalid URLs.
* Preserved the `main` channel when disabling `main-x` for pixi.
* Supported keyrings containing repository tokens written by `anaconda-auth`.

[Full release notes - 0.2.0](https://github.com/anaconda/anaconda-cli/releases/tag/v0.2.0)

**0.1.6**

2026-05-19

**What's fixed**

* Fixed help parsing so commands accept `--help` without requiring their usual positional arguments.
* Improved the error message when conda is not installed.
* Cached the user identifier in the keyring.

[Full release notes - 0.1.6](https://github.com/anaconda/anaconda-cli/releases/tag/v0.1.6)

**0.1.5**

2026-05-13

**What's fixed**

* Skipped downloads when `ana self update` targets the installed version, unless an explicit version is combined with `--force`.
* Raised the open-file limit to reduce "too many open files" failures during tool installation on macOS.

[Full release notes - 0.1.5](https://github.com/anaconda/anaconda-cli/releases/tag/v0.1.5)

**0.1.4**

2026-05-12

[Full release notes - 0.1.4](https://github.com/anaconda/anaconda-cli/releases/tag/v0.1.4)

**0.1.3**

2026-05-12

**What's changed**

Disabled Sentry diagnostics by default.

* Fixed an issue where the `ANA_DOMAIN` environment variable would fail if it included a URL scheme or trailing path.
