## Recent releases

| Version | Date | Urgency | Changes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `v1.6.3` | 2024-04-24 | Low | Includes [Parameterization of Max Workers in ResourceManager #185](https://github.com/operand/agency/pull/185) from @migueldl96 🎉 |
| `v1.6.1` | 2023-09-26 | Low | Updates `AMQPSpace` to use a topic exchange for better observability. Thanks @wwj718! 🙏 |
| `v1.6.0` | 2023-09-26 | Low | I'm proud to announce Agency v1.6.0. Technically, it represents a big step forward and I believe is a milestone in terms of clarity for the project.  It took some iterating and lots of thoughtful feedback, but I think the learnings from the last few versions have come together to create a clearer picture for the API and architecture. I believe there is a good foundation now to focus on the next steps: [js client](https://github.com/operand/agency/issues/136), [code execution](https://github.co |
| `v1.5.0` | 2023-09-18 | Low | This release addresses the request related issues brought up [here](https://github.com/operand/agency/issues/142) regarding the use of multiple "meta" id's and the semantics of automatic responses to messages. Shoutout to @wwj718 for the great feedback for these updates!  Since this includes breaking changes, the version has been bumped to 1.5.0.  # Summary:  - All messages now populate the `meta.id` field with a UUID by default. Agents may set their own custom `meta.id` upon sending to |
| `v1.4.1` | 2023-09-11 | Low | Fixes a regression in the 1.4.0 release related to the AMQP exchange parameter |
| `v1.4.0` | 2023-09-07 | Low | # Summary of Changes  This release brings multiprocessing support and a few nice API improvements. Notably, I've added an implementation of synchronous messaging with the new `request()` method, and I've introduced logging support for development and debugging.  There are a number of breaking API changes in this release. Please read through the following summary to update your codebase.  Since this update required a rather large internal change, please beware of bugs and report any issue |
| `v1.3.1` | 2023-08-11 | Low | Fixes an issue that caused high CPU usage when using the AMQPSpace class. Thanks @wwj718! |
| `v1.3.0` | 2023-08-09 | Low | # Summary of Changes  This release brings many API and internal improvements. I've incorporated a lot of the great feedback I've been getting and improved multiple areas in terms of clarity, organization, and implementation.  What I'm most excited about is that the API feels like it's beginning to reach a relatively clean and extensible form, enabling more possibilities to follow.  A number of syntactic and semantic changes have been made. I've summarized the changes here, but for full d |
| `v1.2.4` | 2023-07-27 | Low | # Summary of changes:  ## Demo changes: * Replaced the React based UI with a Gradio UI in demos. * Renamed `WebApp` class to `ReactApp`. * Moved both app implementations (Gradio, React) to the [`./examples/demo/apps`](./examples/demo/apps/) directory. * Simplified demos to only include the `Host` and `OpenAIFunctionAgent` by default for a better initial experience. * Moved agent mixins (`HelpMethods`, `PromptMethods`) to a `./mixins` subdirectory * Simplified AMQP demo environment to o |
| `v1.2.3` | 2023-07-21 | Low | Fixes a bug in the `Agent._help` method. https://github.com/operand/agency/pull/86 |
