v0.2.0

Release Notes — v0.2.0

New Features

Run commands programmatically from MATLAB

Send commands to a running terminal session directly from MATLAB code:

t = terminal();
t.run("git status")
t.run("make build")

The run method sends the command string followed by Enter, as if typed interactively.

StartupCommand option

Run a command automatically when the terminal starts:

t = terminal(StartupCommand="git status");

Codex CLI agent support

OpenAI Codex CLI is now a supported agent for agentic workflows:

t = terminal(Agent="codex");

Codex registration uses codex mcp add when the CLI is available, with automatic fallback to writing ~/.codex/config.json directly.

MCP server pinned to MATLAB session

Any agents that use the MCP server from within a terminal will always connect to the MATLAB instance in which that terminal is running, even if shareMATLABSession was called in other MATLAB sessions. This prevents agents from unexpectedly switching to a different MATLAB session.

Bug Fixes

Dark mode background color matches MATLAB desktop

The terminal dark mode background color now uses #121212 to match the MATLAB command window and editor background, instead of the previous #1e1e1e which was noticeably different.

Fixes matlab/terminal-in-matlab#1.

Other Changes

• Updated release workflow for public repository
• Minimum MATLAB version check (R2023a) added for agentic mode
• Removed redundant shareMATLABSession call from agentic startup path
