PBIR Tools v0.9.27

Install: uv tool install pbir-cli or pip install pbir-cli. Native and portable
downloads are attached below for macOS on Apple silicon, Windows x64, and Linux on x64 or
arm64.

What’s new

• Calmer terminal output — success, warnings, errors, and report names use a small,
  consistent set of colors. Power BI yellow stays focused on the logo and loading animation.
• Portable downloads — run pbir without an installer on macOS, Windows, or Linux. The regular
  signed PKG and MSI installers are still here too.
• More dependable report changes — field replacement, hierarchy binding, page and visual
  updates, themes, bookmarks, filters, and legacy-to-PBIR conversion have all had a broad
  reliability pass.
• Better report and model handoffs — report paths and model references are handled more
  consistently when you move between local PBIR work and connected semantic models.

Power BI skills

The companion
power-bi-agentic-development skills v26.28
now give agents a clearer te + pbir workflow for changes that span a semantic model and its
reports. They also explicitly keep report edits inside pbir instead of patching JSON directly.

Versions 26.26 through 26.38 are a transition period for the skills. Pin 26.25 or earlier if you
need the old structure to stay put.

Run pbir --help to get started. Feedback is welcome in the
pbir.tools issue tracker.
