The Hermes Monitor tool has been updated to version 0.3.5. This update improves security by ensuring that quota information is read-only and never writes to sensitive files like `auth.json`.
Hermes now reliably resumes paused Windows gateways after an update, even if the update process was interrupted. This prevents gateways from getting stuck and ensures they resume onto a stable system.
Tests for update-related changes are now more thorough, ensuring that Hermes can still update correctly even if interrupted. This makes the update process more reliable for users.
The update process now ensures that changes to your Hermes installation are saved reliably, even if the update is interrupted. This prevents data loss and makes it safer to update your software.
The Hermes agent now uses a more robust locking mechanism to prevent multiple updates from running at the same time. This ensures that updates are applied reliably and prevents potential conflicts.
The Hermes Agent now prevents a runaway download when updating a feature branch. This means it won't accidentally download a massive amount of data when it just needs to check if your branch is up to date.
The Hermes Agent can now continue updating even if some steps fail. This makes updates more robust by ensuring that non-critical issues don't stop the entire process.
The plugin that displays tool information has been updated to prevent a single unresponsive tool from blocking the entire page. This ensures that the tool information page remains usable even if one tool is slow to respond.
The Hermes Agent can now connect to models provided by Kimchi, an open-source AI development platform. This integration allows users to access Kimchi's models through the Hermes Agent's interface, expanding the available AI capabilities.
Hermes Agent now correctly handles voice messages when the bot's listening channel is changed mid-transcription. This prevents messages from being incorrectly attributed to the wrong conversation after a channel switch.
This update allows Hermes Agent to properly use Wayland on systems with NVIDIA's open-source kernel drivers. This ensures a smoother display experience for users with this specific NVIDIA hardware configuration.
