June 2026 — OpenAI Codex: Five key feature deliveries focused on performance, startup time, and UX. Implemented paste-enabled searchable menus, memchr-based byte scanning, faster plugin hooks loading, faster resume/fork last session lookups via state DB, and plugin discovery caching to speed up TUI startup. Collectively, these changes reduced latency, improved responsiveness, and enhanced stability when handling large histories and complex plugin ecosystems. Note: no explicit bug fixes were listed in the provided data; the month emphasized performance improvements, startup speed, and user-facing speedups.
