This is a prerelease. The changes in this entry are not available in the stable v0.2.4 release.
What’s changed
  • Renamed the experimental ana ob command to ana platform on supported Unix platforms and removed the experimental feature requirement.
  • Added login requirements for commands that manage tools, configure features, and access services. Authentication commands, self-update, feedback, and installer downloads remain available without login.
  • Added direct setup of AI coding assistants with ana mcp, including installation of the Anaconda Intelligence skill.
  • Added ana channel create, ana channel remove, and ana channel upload for private channels and packages.
  • Added subscription-based channel selection and a terms-of-service disclaimer for main-x, and removed its beta designation.
  • Added support for a conda-package build, with self-update and managed tool installation disabled because conda manages those operations.
What’s fixed
  • Cleaned up broken symlinks in ~/.ana/bin during tool management.
  • Added a warning when disabling main-x for one tool leaves it enabled for the other.
  • Prevented duplicated multi-select prompts in narrow terminals.
  • Forwarded help requests to the wrapped CLI for ana org and supported ana platform commands.
