CopilotKit 1.79.0 released
A feature release adding privacy-safe control labeling and request header evaluation, with chat layout and context handling fixes.
What changed in 1.79.0
- Request headers now evaluate when each request is sent instead of on provider render.
- App context now folds into the leading system message for better integration.
- CopilotChat stays visible beside the threads drawer in flex layout.
- Control clicks are labeled with privacy-safe names for learning purposes.
- Text edit capture improved with debouncing and failed socket cleanup.
Check before you update
- Header builders now run per request instead of per render; apps switching users must remount the provider (e.g. key={userId}) or call setHeaders to avoid showing previous user's threads.
