# Changelog

> What changed in Kiste and its CLI.

New CLI versions arrive with `kiste self-update`. New Kiste images are
announced by `kiste list`, and `kiste update` applies them; see [Update a
Kiste](https://docs.kiste.run/kisten/manage.md#update).

### Platform

- **Automatic checkpoints.** Every Kiste is checkpointed every five minutes
  when its disk changed, and when it stops, restarts, is forked or deleted.
  Checkpoints are encrypted and kept off-site in two EU locations, and restore
  on demand. See [Checkpoints and snapshots](https://docs.kiste.run/kisten/snapshots.md).
- **Kiste Stream.** Published ports live at their own address under
  kiste.stream, as separate sites with their own cookies. See
  [Kiste Stream](https://docs.kiste.run/stream.md).
- **Desktop at desktop.kiste.run.** Desktop links are reusable, account-bound
  and expire after one hour by default; several viewers can watch one desktop.
- **Device keys.** Every computer you sign in on gets its own SSH key, and
  every Kiste accepts all of them.
- **Account.** Self-service data export and account deletion.
- **Status page** at [kiste.run/status](https://kiste.run/status).
- **Documentation** at docs.kiste.run.

### CLI 0.1.1

- The full command set as `kiste` and `kst`: Kisten, SSH, files,
  forwarding, desktop links, Kiste Stream, snapshots, images, environments,
  commands, coding agents, credentials, API keys.
- `--output human|json|ndjson`, stable exit codes and registered error codes
  with request IDs.
- Plain `ssh NAME.kiste` works after `kiste login`.
- Signed releases: the installer and `self-update` verify the release
  signature and refuse an older release served as a newer one.
- Shell completions that know your Kisten by name.

The complete list is in the [CLI reference](https://docs.kiste.run/cli.md).
