earendil-works
Pi 0.87.0

Pi 0.86.0
Pi 0.86.0 adds prompt cache warming to keep caches alive during long tool runs, plus per-model compaction budgets. Breaking: custom pi-ai providers now receive TranscriptContext instead of Context.

google-gemini
Gemini CLI 0.61.0
Gemini CLI 0.61.0 hardens sandbox filesystem boundaries and blocks indirect prompt injection via build file modifications and untrusted flags — update before running it on repos you don't fully trust.
nanocoai
NanoClaw 2.4.0
NanoClaw 2.4.0 — credential gateways via skills (Iron Proxy new), install-wide/per-group model and speed controls, Mattermost channel, reworked OpenCode provider. Breaking: custom instruction sources must move to the new module — CLAUDE.md @-imports outside the project dir were silently dropped, so most instructions never reached the model. Defaults shift to Opus 5.5 and gpt-6-astra.
NousResearch
Hermes Agent 0.21.4
Patch tag rolling up ~1,800 PRs since v0.21.3 for Docker/Cloud consumers; full notes deferred to v0.22.0. Unlisted but notable: host-wide gateway singleton lock, Desktop now attaches to the running host backend instead of spawning a second, and `--format stream-json` JSONL output for the CLI.
