Full Changelog: CHANGELOG.md

v2.10

Fixes & Improvements

• Render skills CLI management: We added a CLI command to help users install, update and manage skills for AI agents from render-oss/skills.

Full Changelog: v2.9.1...v2.10

v2.9.1

Fixes & Improvements

• Restore text as default output format for non-TTY output: when the CLI detects a non-interactive context (e.g., piped output), the auto-resolved output format is text. Previously, v2.9.0 changed the default output to JSON for non-interactive contexts.
• Show user email in workspaces header: the breadcrumb header for render workspaces displays the user's email instead of the workspace name ([user email] > Workspaces)
• Pre-select current workspace: For both render workspaces and render workspace set, the current workspace is pre-selected in the TUI

Full Changelog: v2.9.0...v2.9.1

v2.9.0

Features

Ephemeral shell via render ssh

Connect to a temporary, isolated shell instance with --ephemeral / -e.

# Interactive: select a service from the current workspace, then connect ephemerally
render ssh

# Launch an ephemeral shell for a service
render ssh my-service --ephemeral

# Short flag
render ssh my-service -e

Support RENDER_OUTPUT env var

Globally configure an output format without needing to specify it with every command.

Order of precedence:

1. Value of a command's --output / -o flag
2. Value of RENDER_OUTPUT environment variable
3. Auto-detection based on TTY/CI signals

# Set default output format for all commands
export RENDER_OUTPUT=json

# Override default per command
render services list -o yaml

---

Fixes & Improvements

• Support ~ expansion in file path flags. --flag=~/path now correctly resolves to $HOME/path for objects put/get --file, taskruns start --input-file, and blueprints validate [file]
• Skip TUI for non-interactive commands. Eliminates a visual flash for commands that don't render a TUI

Full Changelog: v2.8.0...v2.9.0
