The official notes do not list every change. The full notes ship with v0.22.0.

Highlights

One gateway per host: a lock prevents a second one from starting. The desktop app attaches to the running backend instead of starting another.
Structured CLI output: --format stream-json prints JSONL.
Pinned skills: skills.auto_load puts chosen skills into every new session.
Unauthorized DMs: the gateway gained a decline behavior.
MCP discovery limit: set it with mcp.discovery_concurrency.
session_search accepts before/after time bounds.
Plugin catalog: every plugin and author has a web page, and about a dozen community plugins were added.
A large run of fixes for profile isolation, cron, kanban, the desktop app and state.db.
