Hermes Agent v0.21.6 Stable Release + Update Channel Improvements

v0.21.6 shipped (Oct 8) as a stable rollup with the new release pipeline. Recent main merges make stable releases the default for official source installs, add a Desktop channel selector (Stable vs Every commit), and protect against accidental downgrades. Packaged apps (Desktop, Microsoft Store) follow their own cadence.

Why it matters

Reliability of updates is a frequent pain point. Clearer stable-vs-bleeding-edge choice helps operators keep daily agents reliable while still testing new features.

Hermes v0.22.4 Ships; Continues Rapid Feature Cadence from Threshold Release

v0.22.4 is a small patch (suggestion pills removed, plugin/dashboard fixes, new catalog entries including bubblewrap, mcp-serve, agent-importers with Cursor support). It follows the larger v0.22 series that introduced smoother onboarding with free trial models, one-click connectors, stable update channel, local model support, per-chat MCP spend limits, shared whiteboard, and MCP-to-plugin tooling.

Hermes Agent v0.21.7 Stable Release

Official stable tag for source installs, desktop app, Docker, and Hermes Cloud. Source installs now default to tagged releases instead of every commit on main (opt back into tip with `--set-channel main`). Reasoning/signed thinking persists across resume and gateway turns. Desktop gains an Update channel switch. Multiple accounts per connector are supported. Undocumented-but-live items in the window include plugins triggering desktop actions and mid-session skill installs without restart. New paid subscribers get Krea 2 Medium Turbo as default image model. Live voice transcription present but setup docs lag.

Hermes Agent v0.23.0 Ships Desktop-in-Browser, Unified Gateway, and More

Major release (Nov 5). Key highlights: full Desktop workspace served by the gateway in any browser tab (webapp.enabled); one gateway owns every conversation across CLI/TUI/Desktop/messaging/cron (fixes double-writes and missing messages); terminal image rendering; /Rewind; Group Chats with automatic routing; spend limits for paid tools; lighter/faster core (shared cache keys, faster LSP edits). Rolls up prior patch releases. ~10k commits, 666 contributors since v0.22.
