# CC Switch v3.9.0
> Local API Proxy, Auto Failover, Universal Provider, and a more complete multi-app workflow
**[中文版 →](release-note-v3.9.0-zh.md) | [日本語版 →](release-note-v3.9.0-ja.md)**

## Overview
CC Switch v3.9.0 is the stable release of the v3.9 beta series (`3.9.0-1`, `3.9.0-2`, `3.9.0-3`).
It introduces a local API proxy with per-app takeover, automatic failover, universal providers, and many stability and UX improvements across Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI.
**Release Date**: 2026-01-07
---
## Highlights
- Local API Proxy for Claude Code / Codex / Gemini CLI
- Auto Failover with circuit breaker and per-app failover queues
- Universal Provider: one shared config synced across apps (ideal for API gateways like NewAPI)
- Skills improvements: multi-app support, unified management with SSOT + React Query
- Common config snippets: extract reusable snippets from the editor or the current provider
- MCP import: import MCP servers from installed apps
- Usage improvements: auto-refresh, cache hit/creation metrics, and timezone fixes
- Linux packaging: RPM and Flatpak artifacts
---
## Major Features
### Local API Proxy
- Runs a local high-performance HTTP proxy server (Axum-based)
- Supports Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI with a unified proxy
- Per-app takeover: you can independently decide which app routes through the proxy
- Live config takeover: backs up and redirects the CLI live config to the local proxy when takeover is enabled
- Monitoring: request logging and usage statistics for easier debugging and cost tracking
- Error request logging: keep detailed logs for failed proxy requests to simplify debugging (#401, thanks @yovinchen)
### Auto Failover (Circuit Breaker)
- Automatically detects provider failures and triggers protection (circuit breaker)
- Automatically switches to a backup provider when the current one is unhealthy
- Tracks provider health in real time, and keeps independent failover queues per app
- When failover is disabled, timeout/retry related settings no longer affect normal request flow
### Skills Management
- Multi-app Skills support for Claude Code and Codex, with smoother migration from older skill layouts (#365, #378, thanks @yovinchen)
- Unified Skills management architecture (SSOT + React Query) for more consistent state and refresh behavior
- Better discovery UX and performance:
- Skip hidden directories during discovery
- Faster discovery with long-lived caching for discoverable skills
- Clear loading indicators and more discoverable header actions (import/refresh)
- Fix wrong skill repo branch (#505, thanks @kjasn)
### Universal Provider
- Add a shared provider configuration that can sync to Claude/Codex/Gemini (#348, thanks @Calcium-Ion)
- Designed for API gateways that support multiple protocols (e.g., NewAPI)
- Allows per-app default model mapping under a single provider
### Common Config Snippets (Claude/Codex/Gemini)
- Maintain a reusable "common config" snippet and merge/append it into providers that enable it
- New extraction workflow:
- Extract from the editor content (what you are currently editing)
- Or extract from the current active provider when the editor content is not provided
- Codex extraction is safer:
- Removes provider-specific sections like `model_provider`, `model`, and the entire `model_providers` table
- Preserves `base_url` under `[mcp_servers.*]` so MCP configs are not accidentally broken
### MCP Management
- Import MCP servers from installed apps
- Improve robustness: skip sync when the target CLI app is not installed; handle invalid Codex `config.toml` gracefully (#461, thanks @majiayu000)
- Windows compatibility: wrap npx/npm commands with `cmd /c` for MCP export
### Usage & Pricing
- Usage & pricing improvements: auto-refresh, cache hit/creation metrics, timezone handling fixes, and refreshed built-in pricing table (#508, thanks @yovinchen)
- DeepLink support: import usage query configuration via deeplink (#400, thanks @qyinter)
- Model extraction for usage statistics (#455, thanks @yovinchen)
- Usage query credentials can fall back to provider config (#360, thanks @Sirhexs)
---
## UX Improvements
- Provider search filter: quickly find providers by name (#435, thanks @TinsFox)
- Provider icon colors: customize provider icon colors for quicker visual identification (#385, thanks @yovinchen)
- Keyboard shortcut: `Cmd/Ctrl + ,` opens Settings (#436, thanks @TinsFox)
- Skip Claude Code first-run confirmation dialog (optional)
- Closable toasts: close buttons for switch toast and all success toasts (#350, thanks @ForteScarlet)
- Update badge navigation: clicking the update badge opens the About tab
- Settings page tab style improvements (#342, thanks @wenyuanw)
- Smoother transitions: fade transitions for app/view switching and exit animations for panels
- Proxy takeover active theme: apply an emerald theme while takeover is active
- Dark mode readability improvements for forms and labels
- Better window dragging area for full-screen panels (#525, thanks @zerob13)
---
## Platform Notes
### Windows
- Prevent terminal windows from appearing during version checks
- Improve window sizing defaults (minimum width/height)
- Fix black screen on startup by using the system titlebar
- Add a fallback for `crypto.randomUUID()` on older WebViews
### macOS
- Use `.app` bundle path for autostart to avoid terminal window popups (#462, thanks @majiayu000)
- Improve tray/icon behavior and header alignment
---
## Packaging
- Linux: RPM and Flatpak packaging targets are now available for building release artifacts
---
## Notes
- Security improvements for the JavaScript executor and usage script execution (#151, thanks @luojiyin1987).
- SQL import is restricted to CC Switch exported backups to reduce the risk of importing unsafe or incompatible SQL dumps.
- Proxy takeover modifies CLI live configs; CC Switch will back up the live config before redirecting it to the local proxy. If you want to revert, disable takeover/stop the proxy and restore from the backup when needed.
