Release2026-09-28

Cloudflare released cf, a new CLI covering its entire API. It replaces Wrangler’s 280 commands with 3,000+ operations. JSON is now the default output for agents. TypeScript-based config files enable type-checked agent edits. Vite is the new default dev server and build tool. Agents can search for commands in natural language. Wrangler will delegate to cf for new projects. Existing projects can migrate with `cf migrate`. Forge, the internal SDK generator, was open-sourced. The beta is available globally via npm.
