Crowdin CLI 5.0.0-next.0

The first pre-release of Crowdin CLI 5.0 - a complete rewrite from Java to TypeScript powered by Bun, shipped as a single self-contained binary. No Java, no runtime to install.

The command tree, crowdin.yml, and exit codes stay the same - most workflows carry over unchanged.

npm i -g @crowdin/cli@next

Supports macOS (arm64/x64), Linux (x64/arm64, glibc & musl), and Windows (x64). More channels (Homebrew, Chocolatey, Docker, standalone binaries) will come with GA.

✨ Highlights

• Starts instantly - crowdin --version in ~1.6 ms vs ~223 ms in 4.x; no JVM warm-up, a big win in CI.
• A friendlier interactive experience - clean menus, spinners, graceful cancellation; crowdin init gets you from browser authorization to a ready crowdin.yml in under a minute.
• Output for scripts and AI agents - new global -o, --output option on every command: json, toon (~60% smaller, ideal for LLM workflows), and plain.
• Cached uploads are stable - upload sources --cache is no longer experimental.
• ~90% tests coverage ✅

💥Breaking changes

• pre-translate → auto-translate (no alias).
• --plain → --output plain.
• Redundant negatable flags removed (e.g. --auto-update, --no-auto-tag) — defaults are unchanged, just drop them. --preserve-hierarchy removed; use preserve_hierarchy: true in the config.
• --cache file is now resolved relative to base_path.
• ignore_hidden_files now also skips dot-directories.
• Removed: config sources --branch; distribution add/edit --export-mode, --file (use --bundle-id) and --branch.
