Summary
QwenLM shipped Qwen Code v0.16.2 with a build fix for stale TypeScript outputs and several workflow-oriented improvements, including project-local context loading and safer diagnostic redaction. The release also carries Windows image-path fixes and text-buffer submission repairs.
What changed
Qwen Code v0.16.2 cleans stale outputs before tsc --build, adds a memory-leak debugging skill, loads .qwen/QWEN.local.md as project-local context, and fixes several CLI and extension issues.
Why it matters
Even though this is a patch release, it shows Qwen Code investing in the same fundamentals that matter for daily agent use: local project memory, safer telemetry, and fewer brittle failure modes. Those are the areas where developer trust is won or lost.
