What's new for you
Broad platform and packaging release: Anthropic defaults move to Claude Opus 4.7, Gemini TTS is added, Model Auth health appears in Control UI, LanceDB cloud storage and Copilot embeddings expand memory options, and bundled plugin packaging/runtime boundaries are tightened. Reliability fixes span security hardening, replay/session recovery, channel behavior, Dreaming/memory ingestion, auth propagation, and local-model failover behavior.
- Anthropic defaults — model aliases and related defaults move to Claude Opus 4.7
- Google speech — Gemini text-to-speech support added to bundled `google` plugin
- Control UI — new Model Auth status card for OAuth health and rate-limit pressure
- Memory — LanceDB cloud storage and GitHub Copilot embedding provider support
- Packaging/plugins — runtime deps localized to owning extensions for leaner builds
- Reliability/security — substantial fix pass across auth, media paths, channel transport, and replay/failover behavior
Release highlights
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Claude Opus 4.7 default alignment | Anthropic model defaults, aliases, Claude CLI defaults, and bundled image-understanding surfaces align to Claude Opus 4.7. |
| Gemini text-to-speech in Google plugin | Bundled Google plugin adds Gemini TTS with voice selection plus WAV/PCM output modes and setup guidance. |
| Control UI Model Auth status card | Overview gains provider OAuth health and rate-limit visibility through a cached models.authStatus gateway method. |
| Memory expansion: LanceDB cloud + Copilot embeddings | Memory indexes can target cloud object storage, and GitHub Copilot embeddings are available for memory-search pipelines. |
| Bundled plugin packaging hardening | Bundled plugin runtime dependencies are localized and packaged payload is trimmed to keep core installs leaner and safer. |
| Local-model lean mode (experimental) | Optional agents.defaults.experimental.localModelLean reduces default heavy tools to shrink prompt footprint for weaker local models. |
| Reliability and security fix sweep | Fixes cover tool trust boundaries, auth propagation, replay/session recovery, channel transport quirks, and Dreaming/memory ingestion edge-cases. |
