v2026.11.7: : Shorter shim errors, task run history in JSON, and dotfiles safety fixes

Compare Source

When no config selects a shim's tool, the shim now fails with a one-line error, and a new opt-in setting can run the latest installed version instead. mise tasks info --json and mise tasks ls --json now include each task's run history, and vfox plugins that download nothing can install in locked mode. This release also fixes problems in bootstrap packages, dotfiles, tasks, mise exec and config rewrites.

Added

• Shorter shim errors and shims.fallback_to_installed. When no config selects a shim's tool, the error is now one line that names the latest installed version and two ways to use it. Add --verbose to list every installed version. #​15525 (@​jdx)

  mise ERROR No version is set for shim: rg. Run `mise use -g [email protected]` to set a default, or `mise x [email protected] -- rg` to run it once.
  

  The new shims.fallback_to_installed setting (MISE_SHIMS_FALLBACK_TO_INSTALLED, default false) makes the shim run that latest installed version instead of failing. It only applies to tools that no config mentions. If a configured version is missing, the shim still fails instead of running a different version. Windows .exe shims keep the error.

  mise settings shims.fallback_to_installed=true

• Task run history in JSON output. mise tasks info <task> --json and each entry of mise tasks ls --json now include a history field. It has the same summary as mise tasks history --summary --json: number of runs and failures, median duration, and the last run's duration, status and start time. The field is null for a task with no recorded runs. Text output hasn't changed. #​15522 (@​jdx)

• Locked installs for vfox plugins that download nothing. Some tool plugins download nothing, such as mise-xcode, which selects an Xcode already on the system. These plugins can now set downloads = false in metadata.lua. mise install --locked then installs them without a lockfile URL, and mise lock records only the version. If such a plugin's PreInstall returns a url anyway, the install fails with an error. #​15586 (@​jdx, @​michalpopek)

  PLUGIN = {
    name = "xcode",
    version = "0.1.0",
    downloads = false,
  }

Changed

• Less noise for coding agents. When mise detects a coding agent (for example CLAUDECODE=1 or AI_AGENT), it no longer prints the new-version notice, the mise self-update instructions, or hint messages. mise version --json and the warnings in mise doctor still report a newer version. Set AI_AGENT=0 to see the notices again. #​15523 (@​jdx)

Fixed

Config and upgrades

• mise upgrade --bump and mise use no longer write a registry entry's default options into mise.toml. For example, jactionlint = "2.4.0" no longer turns into { version = "2.5.0", workflow = "release.yaml" }. Options already written in the file are kept. #​15519 (@​jdx, @​jylenhof)
• When mise rewrites a tool entry, boolean and numeric options stay unquoted, so uvx = true no longer becomes uvx = "true". #​15517 (@​jdx)
• If a packageManager field pins pnpm with a checksum, mise now runs pnpm's install script. pnpm 12 can then use its native binary instead of warning that it is running through Node.js. The checksum is still verified. #​15563 (@​jdx)
• mise doctor now warns when a package.json that mise reads as a version file can't be parsed, for example because of a trailing comma. Before, mise ignored the versions in that file without saying why. #​15567 (@​jdx, @​crntnvdl)

Install, lock and exec

• A plain mise install or mise lock now installs missing [plugins] entries first. Idiomatic version files declared by those plugins, such as .xcode-version, are then read on the first run. Before, mise reported "all tools are installed" and a second run was needed. #​15585 (@​jdx, @​michalpopek)
• A non-root mise install no longer fails with "failed to rebuild runtime symlinks" when the user's global config picks a different version than the administrator's system config. mise now leaves the global link in a read-only shared install directory as it is. #​15526 (@​jdx, @​marcodb-servescale)
• mise lock now sends the forge token when it downloads a release asset to compute its checksum. This fixes 401 Unauthorized errors for private or self-managed GitLab, GitHub, GitHub Enterprise and Forgejo releases that publish no digest. #​15556 (@​jdx)
• With mise x -- <cmd>, directories from env._.path now come before tool bin directories even when the caller's PATH already contains them. A project's pinned npm is no longer skipped in favor of Node's bundled one. #​15564 (@​jdx)
• On Windows, mise x and shims no longer keep the caller's stdout pipe open while a detached child process runs. Before, PowerShell captures waited until that process exited, which affected tools like the Nx daemon. #​15583 (@​jdx)

Tasks and daemons

• A task can now use a task template defined in its own project's mise.toml when you run it from a sibling project in a monorepo, for example with mise run //foo:foo_task from bar/. #​15568 (@​jdx)
• mise run <task> -h now asks the task's usage spec whether -h means help. Tasks that set disable_help, declare their own -h flag, or accept -h as a flag value now receive it as an argument. Other tasks still show help. #​15573 (@​jdx)
• File tasks in a subdirectory of the task directory, such as mise-tasks/sub/nested, now resolve {{config_root}} and relative _.file paths in their env against the project root, not the subdirectory. #​15557 (@​jdx)
• mise run --quiet and --silent now hide the startup log lines of daemons that a task starts. #​15588 (@​jdx, @​artemklevtsov)
• If a named daemon port (ports.<name>) collides with a daemon in another checkout, the error now names that daemon and checkout. Before, it named whichever process held the port. mise also warns when a worktree's slot moves one automatic port onto a port the primary checkout uses for another. #​15561 (@​jdx, @​ponko2)

Bootstrap packages

• mise now runs snap list with English messages, so mise bootstrap no longer tries to reinstall snaps that are already installed when the system language isn't English. #​15518 (@​jdx, @​nahoj)
• Casks that generate completions through a wrapper command, such as ngrok, now install. mise expands $HOMEBREW_PREFIX in the wrapper's arguments. #​15562 (@​jdx)
• Casks whose installer creates its own Caskroom directory, such as miniconda, no longer fail with "multiple Caskroom versions". mise now counts only directories that Homebrew has a metadata record for. Before, this error stopped bootstrap for every package. #​15560 (@​jdx)
• Third-party tap formulae that use require_relative, such as brew:gromgit/fuse/sshfs-mac, can now be evaluated and built from source. mise loads them from a checkout of the tap at its pinned commit. Only GitHub taps are supported. #​15572 (@​jdx)

Dotfiles and skills

• Without a terminal and without --yes, mise dot apply now refuses to overwrite copy targets that were edited locally and aren't saved in history. Before, it replaced them without asking, and mise dot undo couldn't restore them. The error points to mise dot diff and --yes. #​15565 (@​jdx, @​nahoj)
• When you apply a directory copy, files that already match their source are no longer rewritten. Their modification times stay the same, and only the [history.reload] commands for files that changed run. #​15558 (@​jdx)
• Dotfiles history no longer gets stuck after a very large mise dot apply. A long commit message used to exceed the OS argument limit. Machines that are already stuck finish the pending operation on their next save. #​15575 (@​jdx)
• A leading ~ in skills.dir or MISE_SKILLS_DIR now expands to the home directory. Before, mise created a directory literally named ~. #​15559 (@​jdx)

Documentation

• A new "Coding agents" docs page explains how to put a project's tools and [env] on an agent's PATH. It includes a one-line Claude Code SessionStart hook that runs mise hook-env and notes on Codex and git worktrees. #​15521 (@​jdx)

v2026.11.6: : Pick several tasks with mise run --multi, and use unprefixed bootstrap packages

Compare Source

mise run --multi lets you pick several tasks from a checklist. [bootstrap.packages] keys without a manager: prefix now install through one available package manager, and the npm backend can install from an HTTPS tarball URL. Custom daemons can name several ports, and launchd agents can set resource limits. This release also changes the default prompt theme to base16 and fixes problems with tasks, mise env --dotenv, and installs.

Added

• mise run --multi. Opens the task picker as a checklist. Press Space to check a task, / to filter, and Enter to run the checked tasks. They run as if you had joined them with :::, so they run in parallel unless one depends on another, and -j and the other mise run options still apply. Add --all to list tasks from every project in a monorepo. --multi needs an interactive terminal and can't be combined with a task name, --affected or --tag. #​15503 (@​jdx)

  mise run --multi
  mise run --multi --all

• Unprefixed [bootstrap.packages] keys. A key without a manager: prefix now installs through exactly one manager, so the same config works across distributions and operating systems. mise uses the first manager that is available and allowed by system_packages.managers. The default order is apt, dnf, pacman, zypper, apk, brew, winget, scoop, choco. #​15506 (@​jdx, @​thernstig)

  • The new system_packages.prefer setting (MISE_SYSTEM_PACKAGES_PREFER) replaces that order, and only the managers it lists are considered.
  • Use the new names option when a package has a different name under some managers.
  • mise picks the manager only by which managers are available, not by what their repositories contain. If the install fails, mise reports an error and does not try another manager.
  • If no manager can install a key, mise warns and skips it. mise bootstrap packages status lists it as skipped.
  • Prefixed keys such as "apt:git" work as before.

  [bootstrap.packages]
  git = "latest"
  openssl = { names = { apt = "libssl-dev", dnf = "openssl-devel" } }

• npm tools from HTTPS tarball URLs. The npm backend can now install a package from a tarball URL, such as a pkg.pr.new preview build. Use npm: followed by the full URL as the tool name, for example mise use 'npm:<tarball URL>'. The version is a prefix of the tarball's SHA-256, so latest means whatever the URL serves now, and mise up updates the tool when that content changes. #​15461 (@​jdx, @​kjanat)

  • Only HTTPS URLs work, and the checksum option isn't supported.
  • If the tarball depends on other URL packages, list them in allow_exotic_deps.
  • mise.lock records the version but not a dependency graph.

• Named ports on custom daemons. run and task daemons can now declare several ports in a ports table, as presets and containers already can. Before, mise passed these entries to pitchfork, which ignored them. Each port is exported as <DAEMON>_<NAME>_PORT. A fixed number is used as written. An auto port needs its own base, and each linked worktree gets a different port. Named ports are checked for collisions with other ports. #​15504 (@​jdx, @​ponko2)

  [daemons.stack]
  run = "docker compose up"
  ports.app = { auto = true, base = 8080 }
  ports.db = { auto = true, base = 5432 }
  ports.admin = 9000

• Resource limits for launchd agents. [bootstrap.macos.launchd.agents] entries accept soft_resource_limits and hard_resource_limits. You can now raise launchd's default limit of 256 open files without wrapping the program in a ulimit shell command. The keys are launchd's nine limits in snake case, such as number_of_files and number_of_processes. An empty table, or a soft limit above the hard limit, is an error. Based on @​disintegrator's implementation. #​15509 (@​jdx)

  [bootstrap.macos.launchd.agents.proxy]
  program = "~/.local/bin/proxy"
  soft_resource_limits = { number_of_files = 10240 }
  hard_resource_limits = { number_of_files = 65536 }

• history.lock_wait. Sets how long mise dot commands that change history wait when another history operation is running. Set it in config or with MISE_HISTORY_LOCK_WAIT. The default is 30s, 0 fails immediately, and any value above 1h is treated as 1h. mise dot watch and mise dot recover never wait. #​15498 (@​jdx, @​zachbornheimer)

• Progress in mise upgrade. After installing, mise upgrade checks every tracked config before removing old versions. This step now shows a checking tracked configs progress line, so the command no longer looks stuck. The check is also faster with many tracked configs: with about 930 configs, the same check in mise prune --dry-run dropped from about 12s to 2-4s. #​15489, #​15512 (@​jdx)

Changed

• Default prompt theme is now base16. Interactive prompts, such as the mise run task picker, were hard to read on light terminals that don't set COLORFGBG. The base16 theme now uses the terminal's named colors, and unselected options and help text use the terminal's normal text color. On dark terminals, prompts now look different by default. To keep the previous look, set color_theme = "charm" or color_theme = "auto". #​15494, #​15524 (@​jdx, @​AdrianDC)

Fixed

• Broken TOML task usage. A TOML task whose usage couldn't be loaded, such as a missing include file or a spec that didn't parse, used to break mise tasks --usage, mise generate task-docs and completion for every task. Now mise warns about that task and the others keep working. A broken task that doesn't use its spec, such as one with raw_args = true, still runs. mise tasks validate still reports the error. #​15465 (@​jdx)
• MISE_ORIGINAL_CWD with --cd. Tasks run with -C/--cd or MISE_CD now get the directory where mise was started, not the --cd target. #​15464 (@​jdx)
• Faster task freshness checks. Checking whether a task is up to date no longer reads directories that can't contain its sources or outputs. For example, sources = ["packages/*/src/**/*"] no longer reads every packages/*/node_modules, and mise skips directories excluded by !**/node_modules/**. Tasks still select the same files. #​15499 (@​jdx, @​2chanhaeng)
• mise env --dotenv output can be read back. Values are now quoted and escaped when needed, so values with #, newlines, quotes or $ stay the same when the file is loaded with _.file. Simple values stay unquoted. Tools that don't handle quotes, such as Docker --env-file, read the quotes as part of the value. #​15490 (@​jdx)
• Undefined {{ env.X }} errors. When a template referred to an undefined env field, the error listed the name of every environment variable, including secret names such as *_TOKEN. In an activated shell, mise printed this list at every prompt. The error now names only the missing field and suggests get_env(name=..., default=""). #​15510 (@​jdx)
• Nushell completion with activation. With mise activate nu, pressing Tab after mise now completes mise subcommands and arguments instead of file paths. On Nushell versions before 0.116, flags still need ^mise and the script from mise completion nu --install. #​15505 (@​jdx, @​Deano217)
• Command wrappers during installs. The cargo, npm, pipx and aube backends now run their install commands without command wrappers on PATH. For example, cargo install no longer fails when cargo is wrapped by mbx. mise exec, mise run and ordinary commands still use wrappers. #​15495 (@​jdx)
• cargo: tools with minimum_release_age. With an explicit minimum_release_age and "core:rust" = "stable", cargo: tools failed to install because mise looked for rust@stable instead of the dated Rust version it had installed. #​15460 (@​jdx)
• Date-only release ages for Rust beta and nightly. A date-only minimum_release_age, such as 2026-11-09, now includes rust@beta and rust@nightly builds from that day instead of falling back to the day before. #​15486 (@​jdx)
• packslip: releases in monorepos. In repositories that publish releases for several components, packslip: couldn't find releases listed after another component's releases. A pinned version is now looked up by its tag, and latest searches more of the release history. #​15501 (@​jdx, @​pepicrft)
• Faster GitHub fallback on 5xx errors. When a GitHub release download URL returns a 5xx error, mise now retries the check once, then switches to the API asset URL. Before, it used up all http_retries first, which could take minutes per file. #​15485 (@​jdx, @​csechuan)
• Long cache keys in the http: backend. Installs could fail with File name too long, for example Yarn 2+ from a packageManager with a Corepack checksum. Temporary directory names now stay under the filesystem's name length limit. #​15493 (@​jdx)
• Cleanup after failed installs. Installing a GitHub repo that isn't an asdf or vfox plugin no longer leaves its clone in the plugins directory. The error now suggests the github: backend. A failed install also removes its cache directory. #​15511 (@​jdx, @​gigaimage)
• Homebrew tap casks with zap :not_required. Previewing or installing these casks failed with an ArgumentError. #​15491 (@​jdx, @​cdenihan)

v2026.11.5: : mise dot files shows what is tracked in a directory

Compare Source

This release adds mise dot files to show which files in a directory are tracked, and a status.show_env_ignore setting to hide variables from the status line. It also lets dot commands accept relative paths, stops warning when you save dotfiles by hand, and fixes downloads that failed because ~/.netrc held a stale login.

Added

• mise dot files. Lists the files and subdirectories in a directory and shows the state of each one, so you no longer have to work out how [dotfiles] entries, their exclude/include lists and [history] exclude apply. The possible states are:

  • tracked: saved to history. The row shows the entry that covers it and whether it autosaves.
  • excluded: covered by an entry, but a rule leaves it out. The row names the rule.
  • omitted: selected, but capture skips it, for example a file that looks like a credential.
  • untracked: no entry covers it.
  • partial: a directory that isn't tracked itself but contains tracked files.
  • local: a path kept in local-only history (mode = "track-local").

  PATH defaults to the current directory and can be a relative path or a single file. -r/--recursive lists every file below the directory, --tracked and --untracked filter the rows, and --json prints one object per row. The command uses the same exclusion check as mise dot save, so the two always agree. #​15456 (@​jdx, @​farangkao)

  $ mise dot files ~/.config
  untracked  cache/
  partial    foot/   1 file tracked below
  tracked    hypr/   1 file · ~/.config/hypr (track, autosave)
  untracked  mise/

• status.show_env_ignore. With status.show_env on, mise lists every variable it sets each time you enter a directory, including variables that never change. This new setting takes variable names or shell globs to leave out of that line. You can also set it with MISE_STATUS_MESSAGE_SHOW_ENV_IGNORE as a comma-separated list. Changes to config files and paths are still shown. mise warns about malformed patterns and ignores them. #​15454 (@​jdx)

  [settings.status]
  show_env = true
  show_env_ignore = ["GO*", "DENO_INSTALL_ROOT"]

  With this config, mise +DENO_INSTALL_ROOT +GOBIN +GOROOT +LUA_INIT becomes mise +LUA_INIT.

Fixed

• Relative paths in mise dot commands. mise dot track config.toml used to fail with target must be absolute or start with ~/. track, untrack, add and edit now resolve relative paths from the current directory the way a shell does, including .. after a symlinked directory. A path inside your home directory is saved in its ~/ form. Exclude and include rules are still relative globs. #​15455 (@​jdx, @​farangkao)
• No warning when saving dotfiles by hand. If you haven't set up the history-watch service, mise dot track now prints an info message about saving with mise dot save instead of a warning, so --quiet hides it. mise dot status now lists automatic capture as manual, without a warning or a suggested next step. mise still warns if the watcher is set up but not running, or if captures fail. #​15455 (@​jdx, @​farangkao)
• 401 errors caused by stale ~/.netrc credentials. Some downloads failed with 401 Unauthorized even though the server would serve the file without logging in. For example, mise install glab failed against gitlab.com when ~/.netrc held a login that gitlab.com no longer accepted. If the only credentials came from netrc and the server returns 401, mise now retries once without them. Later retries of the same download also leave them out. Requests that carry their own Authorization header (such as forge tokens) and requests redirected to another host are not retried this way. #​15451 (@​jdx)

v2026.11.4: : zip:: includes for config and tasks

Compare Source

Config and task includes can now load from zip:: archives over HTTP(S). This release also fixes shim tab completion, [tool_alias] handling in enable_tools/disable_tools and mise prune, mise dot sync conflicts, and ufw firewall rule matching in mise bootstrap.

Added

• zip:: includes for config and tasks. Before, include and task_config.includes accepted local paths, git:: and oci:: sources. They now also accept a zip archive served over HTTP or HTTPS. mise downloads and unpacks the archive, then loads it the same way as an oci:: artifact. For task_config.includes it loads executable file tasks and .toml task files. For include it loads the mise.toml at the archive root. Zip entries don't reliably carry file permissions, so mise makes non-TOML files that start with a shebang executable. #​15439 (@​jdx)

  • Only HTTP and HTTPS URLs are accepted. Any other scheme fails with an error.
  • Task includes are still experimental, like the other remote sources.
  • A URL doesn't pin specific contents. mise refreshes a zip config include the way it refreshes a branch (fetch_remote_versions_cache), and paranoid mode rejects zip config includes.

  # replace <URL> with the archive's HTTP(S) URL
  include = ["zip::<URL of platform-config.zip>"]
  
  [task_config]
  includes = ["zip::<URL of shared-tasks-1.0.0.zip>"]

Fixed

• Tab completion through shims. Completing a command for a tool run through a mise shim (such as aube or pitchfork) showed mise's own subcommands instead of the tool's. mise now answers completion requests only when it is invoked as mise. Under a shim name, the request goes to the real tool. mise also skips version resolution, auto-install and auto-update while answering these requests. #​15429 (@​jdx)
• Tool aliases in enable_tools and disable_tools. If a tool was declared by its full backend ID, filtering by its [tool_alias] name did the wrong thing. MISE_ENABLE_TOOLS=myjq excluded the tool instead of selecting it, and MISE_DISABLE_TOOLS=myjq had no effect. An alias now matches the same tool as its full ID in both filters, including aliases with inline options. An explicit enable list still overrides disable_tools. If you disable an aliased python, _.python.venv is turned off too. Based on a fix by @​zeitlinger. #​15437 (@​jdx)
• mise prune and project tool aliases. When run from another directory, mise prune resolved a tracked project's [tools] entries against the current directory's config. Tools named through the project's own [tool_alias] caused "not found in mise tool registry" warnings, and mise couldn't tell whether those installs were still in use. These entries now resolve through the project's aliases, as well as the aliases in its parent and global configs. #​15438 (@​jdx)
• mise dot sync with exclusions added on two machines. When two machines each added their own mise dot exclude globs, sync failed with "enrollment conflict in exclusions". mise now merges the lists in this order: the shared base, then this machine's additions, then the other machine's. The same applies to an enrolled path's own exclude and include lists. A removal or a !glob added on both sides is still a conflict, because glob order matters. The error message now says how to recover. #​15449 (@​jdx)
• ufw rules with a source or destination CIDR. A [[bootstrap.linux.firewall.rules]] entry with a source or destination CIDR and no port never converged. mise read 10.42.0.0/16 as a port and a protocol, so mise bootstrap plan --detailed-exitcode kept reporting the rule. Firewall commands also now run with LC_ALL=C, so inspection no longer fails under non-English locales such as de_DE.UTF-8. #​15450 (@​jdx)
• Fedora 45 COPR builds. Releases are now built for Fedora 45 (x86_64 and aarch64) in the jdxcode/mise COPR repo. Before, Fedora 45 users were stuck on 2026.8.5. #​15441 (@​jdx)

Documentation

• The shell setup docs now say that fish 4.9.3 loads mise completions on its own, so you can skip mise completion fish --install there. #​15442 (@​jdx)

v2026.11.3: : Task history, saved task logs, and source-based --affected outside monorepos

Compare Source

This release adds three task features: mise tasks history shows how long past runs took, the opt-in task.logs setting saves each task's last output, and mise run --affected now works in any project by matching changed files against each task's sources. It also fixes problems with upgrade --bump, GitHub asset detection, locked lockfiles, Windows npm installs, prune and hung asdf plugins.

Added

• mise run --affected outside a monorepo. Before, --affected worked only at a monorepo root and failed anywhere else. Outside a monorepo it now runs only the matching tasks affected by changed files. A task is affected when a changed file matches its sources, or when the config file or file script that defines it changed. Matching uses the same rules as the up-to-date check, including ! exclusions and paths relative to the task's directory.

  • Tasks with no sources, and tasks whose sources use {{usage.*}}, run whenever anything changed. When nothing changed, nothing runs.
  • Global tasks are left out. Dependencies of a selected task still run, subject to the up-to-date check.
  • The existing --affected-base, --affected-head, --affected-committed, --affected-uncommitted and --affected-untracked options decide which changes count. --affected-explain prints why each task was selected or skipped, and --affected-json reports the reasons (changed-source, task-config, task-file, no-sources, argument-sources).
  • Monorepo project selection is unchanged.

  #​15407 (@​jdx)

  [tasks."test:unit"]
  run = "cargo test"
  sources = ["src/**"]
  
  [tasks."test:docs"]
  run = "markdownlint docs"
  sources = ["docs/**"]

  mise run --affected --affected-explain 'test:*'

• mise tasks history. mise now records when each task run started, how long it took, its redacted arguments, its exit code and its status (ok, failed, cached, skipped or cancelled). mise tasks history [TASK] lists past runs. --summary shows each task's run count, failure count, median duration of successful runs, and last duration and status. --json prints the records as JSON. Recording is on by default and keeps the last 20 runs per task. You can change the limit with task.history_limit, or turn recording off with task.history = false. Dry runs and tasks that only have depends are not recorded, and a recording error never fails a run. #​15408 (@​jdx)

  $ mise tasks history --summary
  hello      3  0  89.0ms  88.0ms  ok
  test:unit  3  0  -       1.0ms   skipped

• Saved task output with mise tasks log. When the new task.logs setting (or MISE_TASK_LOGS=1) is on, mise keeps the full output of each task's last run. mise tasks log NAME prints it, and --path prints where the file is. This gets back output that the replacing, timed, silent and summary styles hide or shorten. When a task fails under one of those styles, mise prints a full output: <path> line. Logs are stored in $MISE_STATE_DIR/task-logs/ with owner-only permissions and are redacted the same way as terminal output. Each log keeps the newest 4 MiB. Output that mise doesn't pipe is not logged: raw and interactive tasks, and the default interleave mode when it has nothing to redact. The setting is off by default. #​15409 (@​jdx)

  The same PR changes every piped output style: lines longer than 1 MiB now arrive in pieces, so mise no longer holds a whole long line in memory. The pieces are split so that secrets and URL credentials are still fully redacted.

Fixed

• mise upgrade --bump no longer rewrites a two-part prefix such as { prefix = "1.23" } to the unresolvable prefix:prefix:1.1. It now bumps to the correct version, for example prefix:1.26. #​15426 (@​jdx, @​kjanat)
• When choosing a release asset automatically, the github: backend now skips Python wheels (.whl) and Ruby gems (.gem), as it already does for .deb and .rpm. Before, a manylinux wheel could be picked over the native binary. An explicit asset_pattern can still select these files. If an asset_pattern looks like a regular expression and matches nothing, the GitHub, GitLab and Forgejo error now explains that asset_pattern is a glob and suggests matching_regex. #​15423 (@​jdx)
• With tool_config.locked = true and lockfile_mode = "generate", installing or running one tool no longer writes another tool's unrecorded version into mise.lock. Before, this let the next run accept a pin nobody had reviewed. The lockfile now stays unchanged, and only mise lock records new versions. #​15428 (@​jdx, @​mikomiel)
• On Windows, npm: tools installed with aube are now reinstalled when a cache restore turned their dependency links into file symlinks. Before, mise install reported "already installed" while Node failed with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND. #​15425 (@​jdx, @​Diapolo10)
• When run from outside a project, mise prune and mise upgrade no longer delete installs of task tools that the project names through its [tool_alias]. The "not found in mise tool registry" warning for these tools is also gone. #​15427 (@​jdx)
• fetch_remote_versions_timeout now stops an asdf plugin's bin/list-all that hangs. mise kills the script's process group and fails with timed out after ... and a hint about the setting. Before, mise waited until the script exited and held the version lock the whole time. ruby-install --update now follows the same timeout. bin/list-all now runs with stdin closed, so a script that reads stdin gets EOF. #​15424 (@​jdx, @​karngyan)

v2026.11.2: : Task tags, summary output, JSON run reports, and mise run --at

Compare Source

This release adds four mise run features that help CI scripts and coding agents: tags for selecting tasks, a summary output style that only shows failures, a JSON run report, and --at for running tasks at another git revision. It also fixes problems with safe-mode lockfiles, symlink-each dotfiles, shims and shell completion.

Added

• Task tags. You can label tasks with tags, then run every task that has a tag with mise run --tag. A tag can be a string or a list. File tasks set them with #MISE tags=[...], and templates add their tags to the tasks that extend them. You can repeat --tag, and a task matches if it has any of the given tags. Dependencies run whatever their tags are. If you also give a pattern, such as mise run --tag slow 'test:*', mise runs only the matching tasks that have the tag. mise tasks ls --tag filters the task list, and tasks ls --json, tasks info and the MCP task list now include tags. #​15406 (@​jdx)

  [tasks."lint:docs"]
  run = "markdownlint docs"
  tags = ["lint", "docs"]
  
  [tasks."test:e2e"]
  run = "./e2e/run"
  tags = ["test", "slow"]

  mise run --tag lint
  mise tasks ls --tag slow

• summary task output style. mise holds each task's output until the task ends. A task that passed prints one line, such as [unit] passed in 4.2s. A task that failed prints everything it wrote. Tasks that mise stopped print [name] cancelled. This style is opt-in: use --output summary, MISE_TASK_OUTPUT=summary, task.output, or a task's output. mise keeps up to 64 KiB of output per task and drops the oldest output past that. A long-running task such as a dev server prints nothing until it exits, so give those tasks output = "interleave". #​15403 (@​jdx)

  $ mise run --output summary test
  [lint] $ cargo clippy -- -D warnings
  [lint] error: unused variable: `x`
  [unit] passed in 4.2s
  [lint] ERROR task failed

• JSON run reports. mise run --report-file <PATH>, or MISE_TASK_REPORT_FILE, writes a JSON report when the run ends. This happens whether the run passes, fails, is interrupted or hits --timeout.

  • The report has the run's status (passed, failed, cancelled or timed_out) and every scheduled task, dependencies included.
  • Each task has its status (passed, failed, cancelled, skipped, cached or not_run), exit code, duration and timestamps.
  • Task arguments are redacted the same way as in terminal output.
  • The flag can't be combined with --dry-run. Tasks don't inherit the variable, so a nested mise run can't overwrite the outer report.

  #​15405 (@​jdx)

• mise run --at REV. Runs tasks at another git revision without touching your checkout. mise checks the revision out into a temporary detached worktree, runs the task with that revision's own config and tasks, then removes the worktree. It also removes it after a failure, a timeout or Ctrl-C. --at-setup CMD prepares the worktree first, for example by installing dependencies.

  • Submodules are initialized.
  • Tasks and the setup command get MISE_RUN_AT_SOURCE (your checkout) and MISE_RUN_AT_REV (the commit).
  • Config at that revision gets your main checkout's trust, and you can't bypass this with a prompt or --yes.
  • Paranoid mode always refuses a config at that revision.

  #​15410 (@​jdx)

  mise run --at main test
  mise run --at HEAD~1 --at-setup "npm ci" test

Fixed

• Lockfiles and safe mode
  • MISE_SAFE=1 MISE_LOCKED=1 mise install works again for node, python and go when mise.lock has their checksums. It used to fail with "No lockfile URL found". These tools now work out their own download URL and check it against the locked checksum. If safe mode is the reason a URL is missing, the error now says so. #​15392 (@​jdx)
  • npm: tools locked through aube now install in safe mode and in untrusted projects. mise keeps the lockfile's dependency graph if it only fetches from the registry using integrity hashes. Graphs that name tarball URLs, git sources or local paths are still dropped. #​15401 (@​jdx)
  • mise lock java@temurin-27 no longer rewrites java = "temurin-26" to the broken temurin-temurin. It now writes temurin-27, with the same precision as the original request. Switching vendor at the same version, as in java@zulu-26, is saved too. #​15386 ([@​jdx](https://redirect.github.com/jdx
