Agent-Reach changelog: what's new each month
Every stable Agent-Reach release summarised by month: the highlights, new features, improvements, fixes and anything you need to act on. 3 months covered; the current month updates daily.
June 2026
3 releases: 1.4.1 → 1.5.0
June brought major reliability improvements to Agent-Reach, with better diagnostics, a new audio transcription feature, and fixes to several platform integrations. The agent is now more resilient when individual backends fail and better at triggering its own skills.
Highlights
- New transcribe command adds audio-to-text capability directly in the CLI using Whisper, with automatic fallback to OpenAI.
- Doctor health check now runs actual command detection instead of just checking file existence, catching broken installations.
- Skill auto-trigger logic rewritten so the agent reliably invokes Agent-Reach for research tasks.
- Reddit installation now correctly points to GitHub source instead of non-existent PyPI package.
- One failing platform backend no longer blocks the entire health check.
New
- Transcribe command for converting audio files or video links to text using Whisper.
- Machine-readable JSON output for doctor health checks with human-readable text legend.
- Polish option for transcription output using Llama 3.3 to improve formatting.
- One-sentence installation and update prompts for the agent to use.
- Active backend tracking in health check to show which platform route is currently in use.
- Version check that runs automatically after agent completes tasks.
Improved
- Health check now actually runs commands to detect broken installations like broken venvs after Python upgrades.
- Skill descriptions rewritten with platform aliases and action trigger words for better agent recognition.
- Whisper transcription prompting fixed to properly handle Chinese punctuation and retry logic.
- Xiaoyuzhou transcription quality improved with better prompt formatting.
- Test coverage expanded from 107 to 162 tests including contract and backend priority scenarios.
- Update check no longer incorrectly suggests updating when local version leads latest release.
Fixed
- Reddit installation command now correctly installs rdt-cli 0.4.2 from GitHub instead of non-existent PyPI version.
- Whisper prompts no longer lose quotes that were consumed by bash.
- Xiaoyuzhou transcription retry logic now includes the prompt parameter.
- Health check text output now displays clear legend for status symbols.
- WeChat Official Accounts platform no longer advertised as zero-config when it requires anti-scraping workarounds.
