Hermes Agent Release Notes

Patch release (November 3, 2026): 174 merged PRs, 581 non-merge commits and 554 changed files since v0.22.6. Web Access progress, cron delivery into Group Chats and opt-in lead routing reach the stable channel; full curated notes ship with v0.23.0.

Stable roll-up (November 2, 2026): 776 merged PRs and 3,448 non-merge commits since v0.22.5 packaged into one installable release for GitHub, the Microsoft Store, Docker and Hermes Cloud. Full curated notes ship with v0.23.0.

Patch release (October 22, 2026): 81 merged PRs rolled up since v0.22.4 — an update that holds back a release it refuses, the Windows launcher repin, plugin slash commands that can ask you to pick an option, desktop drag-to-pin and tier-badged one-click installs, Electron 44 and Pillow 13, and mcp serve / Singularity leaving core for plugins.

Patch release (October 21, 2026): the desktop stops showing suggestion pills above the composer, plugins that install nothing skip the dependency consent step, the approval-mode chip follows the active profile, WhatsApp can be re-paired after logout, and the plugin catalog gains bubblewrap, Singularity, mcp-serve, agent-importers, inbox and workflow-record.

Rollup release (October 21, 2026): ~620 merged PRs since v0.22.2 — 2,911 non-merge commits across 4,206 files (+360,278 / −64,308) and 326 closed issues — published as a stable tag for the CLI, installer, Microsoft Store app, Docker and Hermes Cloud. Curated notes for the window ship with v0.23.0.

Patch release that replaces v0.22.1, which was built from the wrong commit (October 15, 2026): a supervised gateway starts after a reboot again, and long local-model turns survive on laptops. Rolls up every change in the 0.22 line since v0.22.0.

Minor release (The Threshold Release): a first launch that sets itself up on a free trial model, Connectors that let the agent act inside hosted apps, one-click local models on your own hardware, tested SemVer stable releases, signed desktop packages including the Microsoft Store, the hermes pm package manager, a 600-plugin catalog, the Claude 5.5 / GPT-6 model wave, password-manager sign-in for the browser, the Bot Screen, one gateway and one backend for every profile, and a codebase a third smaller. Rolls up the v0.21.1–v0.21.7 patch windows.

Patch release rolling up the ~204 PRs merged since v0.21.6 into a tag (October 11, 2026): source installs now update to tagged releases only, the desktop gains a channel switch, signed thinking survives resume, and updates stop failing behind regional firewalls. The window since v0.21.6 carries 740 non-merge commits, 4,156 changed files (+86,775 / −26,980), 204 merged PRs and 69 closed issues. Full curated notes ship with v0.22.0.

The first patch tag cut by the new stable release pipeline (October 8, 2026): one attempt ref, a tested Docker image, and a receipt tag at publish. The window since v2026.9.24 carries 8,867 non-merge commits, 8,342 changed files (+772,490 / −225,600), 2,106 merged PRs and 3,027 closed issues. Full curated notes ship with v0.22.0; this page records the shape of the tag, the three security fix groups, and the changes already running on your machine.

Patch release (tag v2026.9.24): the 460 merged PRs since v0.21.4 rolled into a stable tag for Docker images, Hermes Cloud and hosted deployments. Full curated notes are deferred to v0.22.0; this page records who the tag is for and the eight change groups in the window that are live today and not yet written up anywhere.
