Read [Upgrade Notes](#upgrade-notes) before you upgrade.

## What’s New

**Multi-agent orchestration**

- **Goal decomposition** — agents break a goal into sub-goals, tasks, and actions for better planning.
- **Supervisor mode** — a supervisor agent assigns tasks to other agents and handles fallback when one fails.
- **Peer-to-peer mode** — agents coordinate with each other to complete a task.
- **Shared state** — agents share a summary or the full state of the work with each other.
- **Human in the Loop** — approval steps for agent actions.
- **Set / Get Variable** — store and read values while an agent flow runs.

**Access control**

- **Resource-level permissions** — control access to individual agents, chatbots, voice agents, knowledge bases, MCPs, tools, guardrails, datasets, and evaluations.
- **Sharing** — resource owners can share resources with workspace members. Workspace Admins keep access to everything.
- **Agent policies** — define which tools and memory an agent can use at run time.
- Existing resources receive permissions automatically during the upgrade.

**MCP and tools**

- **OAuth for MCP servers** — connect securely to third-party MCP servers.
- **Redesigned MCP catalog** — browse and manage local and global MCPs.
- **Permissions for MCPs and tools** — share MCPs and tools at resource level.
- **New tools** — browser use with screenshots and PDF reports, natural-language database queries (NL2SQL), Perplexity search, image generation, chart generation, PDF report generation, and code execution.

**Channels**

- **One agent, many channels** — an agent can hold conversations across several channels, and send outbound messages to a list of recipients.
- **New channels** — Outlook, Zoho, and Zalo (multiple bots, OAuth, and media).
- **Agent Schedule** — run an agent on a recurring schedule.
- **Microsoft Teams** — Adaptive Card improvements and file attachments.

**Memory**

- **Long-term memory** — agents remember across sessions.
- **Memory settings** — configure and manage an agent’s memory from the builder.

**Voice agents**

- **Voice in NeoGPT** — talk to voice agents from NeoGPT.
- **Smoother conversations** — filler audio while the agent prepares a response.
- **Latency analytics** — detailed timing for Twilio and ElevenLabs.

**Platform**

- **Branding** — choose images, text, and colours for white-label deployments.
- **HashiCorp Vault** — manage secrets with HashiCorp Vault across the platform.
- **Agent versioning and import / export** — keep versions of an agent and move workflows between workspaces.
- **Meeting transcription** — a bot that joins meetings and transcribes them.

## Improvements

- Playground scrolling and auto-scroll work correctly.
- Trace details break down observations and the execution flow.
- NeoGPT thread list has pagination and search.
- Filter LLMs by capability and region when choosing a model in the Agent component.
- Filter LLM traces by deployed agent version.
- Faster agent runs with prompt caching, and faster loading of the Analytics page.
- Sessions last longer before you are signed out.

## Security

- Members removed from a workspace lose access to its credentials, evaluations, guardrails, datasets, variables, and integrations.
- Platform dependencies are updated to resolve reported vulnerabilities.

## Upgrade Notes

**Database migrations**
:   This release includes migrations for resource permissions, guardrail, evaluation, and dataset mappings, and long-term memory. Run all migrations in order before you start the services.

**Admin role removed**
:   The Admin role no longer exists. Use **Workspace Admin** instead.

**Super Admin workspaces**
:   A workspace is no longer created automatically for a Super Admin. Review your onboarding steps.

**HashiCorp Vault**
:   Configure the Vault endpoint and token in workspace secrets before you use the Vault integration.
