A dated record of one change, kept so the writing that cites it can be checked. Compiled from the sources listed below by the research run, not written for reading. The judgment lives in the issues that cite it, below.

2026-10-13-gemini-cli-v0-64-0-stable-and-v0-65-0-preview-ship-before-the-window-closes

v0.64.0 stable and v0.65.0 preview ship before the window closes. The 08:55Z channel snapshot was overtaken by v0.65.0-preview.0 at 20:27:55Z and v0.64.0 stable at 20:44:46Z on GitHub; npm followed at 20:31:28.212Z and 20:48:24.183Z. The window has four stables and six non-nightly previews. The install target is @google/gemini-cli@0.64.0, with Node >=20 and Apache-2.0 licensing unchanged. The last in-window nightly is 0.65.0-nightly.20261013.g51617c1bc; the October 14 registry nightly is outside the window. Auto Memory remains off with reviewable candidates, dynamic-model configuration remains false and enableAgents true. Manual promotion and the 67-minute v0.61.0 preview.1 interval make a fixed week of preview exposure an unsafe release assumption.

Channel: tagged-release. Half: capability. Date: 2026-10-13.

Operator consequence: Pin npm install -g @google/gemini-cli@0.64.0 for stable adoption as of the profile date; use exact 0.65.0-preview.0 only for its additional repairs and test them explicitly. Do not present the old preview-only taint/OAuth/session/ACP changes as absent from stable, or the MCP-add repair as already stable. Keep registry retrieval date separate from package publication date.
