Minor release (The Pantheon Release): Bot Mode built into the desktop app with named agent avatars and group chats; hermes peer for bot-to-bot DMs across profiles and gateways; cron jobs gain persistent memory, continuity and durable notepads; live subagent steering with JSON-schema output validation; an MCP command center with hermes:// deep links; a CLI power wave (command palette, richer /model and /status, status-bar metrics, terminal pets); six new providers; the agent drives the desktop browser; and security hardening for instruction files, redaction, and Windows approvals. Rolls up the v0.20.1–v0.20.6 patch windows.
Patch release: ~525 PRs and ~1,313 commits since v0.20.5. Consent-gated real-profile browsing lets the agent browse as you with your real logins; the desktop Browser gets its own OS window plus a managed SSH remote-update engine; the remote MCP catalog grows past 50 live-verified vendor servers; web_search/web_extract gain TTL result caching; lean-tail compression becomes the default; tool_search learns multi-query searches with stemming; stored secrets can opt into OS-keychain encryption; and new models land across the pickers (GLM-5.3-Flash, MiniMax M3 free, MiniMax H3 Max video).
Patch release: ~323 PRs and ~746 commits since v0.20.4. Bot Mode group chats finally accept files (PDF/image drag & drop), old conversations fold into one-line summaries, and blob avatars arrive; hermes worktree list/prune safely reclaims accumulated worktrees and merged branches; hermes update --plan plus structured update receipts make upgrades auditable; cron jobs gain persistent memory and per-job reasoning effort; and opencode-free becomes a truly keyless free model in the /model picker.
