# Preview release: v0.42.0-preview.0
|
|
|
|
Released: May 05, 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
|
|
|
|
- **Auto Memory Enhancements:** Introduced an Auto Memory inbox flow with a
|
|
canonical-patch contract for better memory management.
|
|
- **Improved Voice Mode:** Added a wave animation, microphone icon updates, and
|
|
privacy/compliance UX warnings for the Gemini Live backend.
|
|
- **New CLI Commands & Flags:** Added a `--delete` flag to the `/exit` command
|
|
for session deletion, a `list` subcommand to `/commands`, and a `/bug-memory`
|
|
command for heap snapshots.
|
|
- **Expanded Model Support:** Gemma 4 models are now enabled by default via the
|
|
Gemini API.
|
|
- **Enhanced Core Resilience:** Improved API resilience with reduced timeouts,
|
|
automatic retries for stream errors, and better handling of invalid stream
|
|
events.
|
|
