Qwen Code published stable version 0.25.2 on October 15 at 15:41:15 UTC, according to GitHub’s API. The week also contains nightly and preview builds, including 0.25.3-preview.0; they remain prereleases. TypeScript SDK 0.1.20 reports bundling CLI 0.25.2: this is not a new Qwen model release.
Among the documented changes, a default-off option lets authorised public REST and WebShell sessions use foreground shell execution with mandatory approval. The CLI also adds repeatable --disable-mcp-server to exclude servers per invocation. Headless Mods remain opt-in and add capabilities including tool-call interception and permission checks in trusted sessions.
The release notes also describe a test-failure explorer and background monitoring or shell tasks. These features concern orchestration, result presentation and execution controls, not a security guarantee. The changelog mixes public surfaces with private or hosted capabilities: appearing in release notes does not establish that every user can access every component.
