# Neo CLI Release Notes

> Product updates and announcements for the Neo CLI

<Update label="1.2.0" description="21-11-2025" tags={["Latest"]}>
  Template updates for Neo 1.6.0 compatibility, improved router architecture, and enhanced sidebar navigation.

  ## Improvements 💪

  * **Router architecture**: Updated all templates to use Riverpod providers for router management
    * Router renamed from `NeoRouter` to `AppRouter` for better naming consistency
    * Router accepts `Ref` parameter so that future features like authentication route guards can watch providers when needed
  * **Sidebar template**: Updated to use the latest Neo 1.6.0 API and improved implementation
    * Removed deprecated `activeItem` and `setActiveItem()` usage
    * Route-based navigation: Sidebar buttons now determine active state based on current route path instead of manual state management
    * Changed from `HookConsumerWidget` to `ConsumerWidget` (removed unnecessary hooks dependency)
    * Updated to use `AutoRouter` builder pattern for better router context access
  * **Template consistency**: Both `simple` and `sidebar` templates now use the same router architecture pattern
  * All project templates now support Neo 1.6.0
</Update>

<Update label="1.1.0" description="14-11-2025">
  Performance improvements, better project templates, and streamlined configuration options.

  ## New 🚀

  * Added automatic configuration of `analysis_options.yaml` with Neo-specific settings in all created projects

  ## Improvements 💪

  * All project templates now support the latest version of Neo
  * **Enhanced .gitignore**: Improved the generated `.gitignore` file in created projects with the latest patterns
  * **Project versioning**: All created projects now start with version `0.1.0`

  ## Removed ❌

  * **Config command options**: Removed platforms and template options from `neo config` to ensure you actively decide what you want when running `neo create` instead of always using the same defaults. After updating, run `neo config` to make sure your configuration is updated to the latest version.
</Update>
