What's New

Based on Copilot CLI releases v1.0.76–1.0.80 (August 2026), the following changes were found and documented:

New Features Found

  1. Plugin auto-updates (v1.0.78–v1.0.79) — First-party plugins now auto-update at session start. A new autoUpdate field in extraKnownMarketplaces enables the same behavior for custom marketplaces.
  2. Plugin enable/disable controls (v1.0.76) — /plugins enable and /plugins disable commands let you toggle plugins, MCP servers, and skills without uninstalling them.
  3. Session-scoped /model + /config model (v1.0.79) — /model is now session-only by default; /config model sets a persistent default across sessions. Also supports /model plan to pick a model for plan mode only.
  4. /app CLI command (v1.0.79) — Running /app in a CLI session opens that session directly in the GitHub Copilot desktop app (requires app 1.1.3+).
