What changed: recent Zeroclaw releases
3 stable releases in the last 90 days · Full changelog
- Memory controls add opt-in retrieval caching, reranking, typed-fact extraction, migration-aware configuration checks, content scanning, and auditable recall paths.
- SOP execution gains per-SOP admission policies, quorum-based approval brokering, checkpoint editing, centralized fan-in adapters, and stronger deterministic gate handling.
- Operator surfaces add dashboard-driven upgrades, channel relinking, agent renaming, runtime-context display, searchable keybinding help, and a more reliable terminal experience.
- Channels and ACP gain Mattermost WebSocket listening, Telegram debounce, interactive reply events, signed Nextcloud Talk replies, agent-selectable ACP sessions, and cited blob delivery.
- Provider and runtime reliability improves OpenAI Responses setup, model context-window metadata, fallback visibility, streamed retries, multimodal fallback, lifecycle preservation, and whole-turn…
- Release integrity adds a self-contained notarized macOS desktop path, repaired Scoop and AUR publication workflows, consolidated attestations, required SBOMs, checksums, and an offline…
- SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) engine lands end to end — a daemon maintenance tick, typed step contracts, live step execution, cron/filesystem/calendar triggers, and an out-of-band approval plane.
- WebAssembly plugin host (wasmtime component model) for tools, channels, and memory, with per-call execution limits, signature-policy enforcement, and registry search/install by name.
- Git forge channel with GitHub and Gitea/Forgejo providers, plus a unified gitforge tool and SOP ingress.
- Self-contained desktop app returns — the kernel now ships as a Tauri sidecar for a Quickstart-first companion experience.
- Cost & usage accounting gains a task-attributed usage ledger, offline pricing catalog, and by-period / org-billed views in ZeroCode.
- Security hardening across the board: multiple SSRF gaps closed, constant-time token comparison, signing-key leak prevention, path-traversal fixes, and dependency bumps clearing several RUSTSEC…
- A2A agent discovery (#7763): agents can describe and discover one another over the gateway, opening up agent-to-agent interop.
- Richer skills story: user-configured extra skill registries via registry:<name>/<skill> (#7827) and typed slash-command options in SKILL.md frontmatter (#8021).
- Installation now adds zeroclaw to PATH automatically with a --no-modify-path opt-out (#8038).
- Untrusted inbound content is now framed and sanitized before a model ever sees it, both through the new universal ingress policy layer and SOP trigger-payload framing.
- A new durable run/task control plane backs SOP run-state, live run metrics, and delegate/subagent supervision in SQLite.
- Plugins gained an SSRF guard on zchttprequest, per-alias config scoping, and removal of raw environment access.
- Cascading config edits: deletewithcascade and renamewithcascade now ripple through agents, providers, channels, model providers, and skill bundles instead of leaving dangling references (#7837,…
- Discord skill-driven slash commands: dynamic slash commands generated from installed skills, with typed options, chunked interaction followups, edit/delete/bulk-delete archive sync, and…
- Operator Console redesign: the gateway web UI ships a schema-driven config editor, multi-agent chat, read-only skills browser, and a long list of ported fixes (#7665, #6700).
- Cached-input pricing for OpenAI-compatible providers: cost tracking now captures cachedinputtokens for any provider that reports them, including OpenRouter system-prompt caching (#7492, #7634).
- Phase 0 agent eval harness: deterministic replay-driven evaluation lands as the foundation for the eval story going forward (#7067).
- Workflow hardening for releases and docs: a canonical install spec drives every generated installer surface (#7558), gh-pages becomes ephemeral with bounded clone size (#7676), and rustdoc is…
- Multi-agent runtime: run any number of named agents from one daemon, each with isolated workspace, memory, skills, model provider, and risk profile. Channels, cron jobs, webhooks, and ACP sessions…
- Schema V3 with automatic migration: existing configs migrate in place on first load. Provider entries support multiple named aliases per provider, and a single malformed entry no longer wipes its…
- zerocode: a new terminal UI with dedicated Chat, Code, Dashboard, Config, Quickstart, and Logs panes. One daemon, many zerocode TUIs: attach from as many terminals as you want, each with its own…
- Security hardening: per-agent tool allowlists enforced at every dispatch path, bearer-token revocation on device rotation and deletion, secret redaction extended to nested config shapes,…
- Observability rework: a unified structured logging pipeline carries agent, model, and session attribution through every span, streaming to a new Logs page in the dashboard and a gateway logs endpoint.
- Lean default channel bundle: prebuilt binaries now ship the core channels by default with the rest available as opt-in build features. Check the docs if a channel you use is missing after upgrade.
