# Codex 0.162.1

By Steven Van · 2026-10-09

The release fixes a terminal crash with multiline questions and startup failures caused by mismatched feature settings.

Multiline asynchronous questions no longer crash the terminal interface in [Codex](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/openai-codex>) 0.162.1. The [release](<https://github.com/openai/codex/releases/tag/rust-v0.162.1>) also fixes startup failures.

- Asynchronous questions preserve line breaks and complete hyperlink destinations.

- Differences between a running background server's feature settings and CLI defaults no longer cause startup failures. Compatibility checks now apply only to explicit command-line feature overrides.
