*Agent Framework v0.9.0 and SOEF 0.3.7 released*
Welcome to 2021, let it be a great one! We’re getting really close to v1.0 and it’s super exciting: after working hard throughout the Christmas and New Year break, we’ve released updates for the agent framework and the SOEF, and there’s more to come: AW-4, SOEF explorer web site, and a ton more.
Agent Framework v0.9.0 Release Notes
Let’s start with the Agent Framework:
- Proof of representation on the agent communications network (ACN): you can’t misrepresent yourself any more, either intentionally or by accident. This makes the ACN far more secure
- Added `issue-certificates` CLI command for the proof-of-representation
- Added automated spell checking for all documentation files
- Full test coverage on example code: if you see it in the documentation, it should absolutely run!
- Added fingerprint support with a path
- Updated the documentation as a result of the huge amount of great feedback we’ve had: do let us know what you think
- Added support for syncing local and remote registry
We’ve also made a great number of other bug-fixes and improvements, such as in the `MultiAgentManager`, `AgentConfigManager` and more.
