> July 2026 release notes for UiPath CLI.

## July 31, 2026

UiPath CLI is now generally available at version **1.197.0**, ending the [public preview](./may-2026.md#may-7-2026) that began in May 2026. This release is the point where the command surface, output envelope, and exit-code behavior become a contract you can build automation and CI pipelines against.

### What General Availability means

- **Semantic versioning is now enforced.** Breaking changes to command names, flag semantics, or the JSON envelope only happen at a MAJOR bump, preceded by a full deprecation cycle. See [Versioning and stability](../user-guide/versioning.md).
- **Per-command stability labels apply.** Commands are `GA` by default; `Preview` commands can still change without a MAJOR bump; `Deprecated` commands get at least one full MAJOR cycle before removal.
- **The output envelope and exit-code contract are stable.** `Result`, `Code`, `Data`, `Message`, `Instructions`, and the five-tier exit-code contract (`0` / `1` / `2` / `3` / `4`, plus `130` for user cancellation) hold across MINOR and PATCH releases.

For the full contract, see [Versioning and stability](../user-guide/versioning.md).
