# Preview release: v0.32.0-preview.0 Released: February 27, 2026 Our preview release includes the latest, new, and experimental features. This release may not be as stable as our [latest weekly release](latest.md). To install the preview release: ``` npm install -g @google/gemini-cli@preview ``` ## Highlights - **Plan Mode Enhancements**: Significant updates to Plan Mode, including support for modifying plans in external editors, adaptive workflows based on task complexity, and new integration tests. - **Agent and Core Engine Updates**: Enabled the generalist agent, introduced `Kind.Agent` for sub-agent classification, implemented task tracking foundation, and improved Agent-to-Agent (A2A) streaming and content extraction. - **CLI & User Experience**: Introduced interactive shell autocompletion, added a new verbosity mode for cleaner error reporting, enabled parallel loading of extensions, and improved UI hints and shortcut handling. - **Billing and Security**: Implemented G1 AI credits overage flow with enhanced billing telemetry, updated the authentication handshake to specification, and added support for a policy engine in extensions. - **Stability and Bug Fixes**: Addressed numerous issues including 100% CPU consumption by orphaned processes, enhanced retry logic for Code Assist, reduced intrusive MCP errors, and merged duplicate imports across packages. ## What's Changed -
