claude-mem Releases

This release refactors the `/make-plan` and `/do` commands into first-class skills, centralizes planning and execution instructions alongside `mem-search`, and adds symlinks for OpenClaw integration. The version is bumped to v10.4.1 across all manifests.

Feb 24, 2026

v10.4.0 is a massive reliability release for claude-mem with 30+ root-cause bug fixes across 10 triage phases. Key improvements include session custom titles for agent attribution, a Chroma toggle for SQLite-only fallback mode, platform hardening for Windows/Cursor IDE/Codex CLI, and significant data integrity fixes including SHA-256 content-hash deduplication.

Feb 24, 2026

This is a minor bug fix release (v10.3.3) for claude-mem that corrects a reference in the session context footer. The fix ensures the footer now properly references the claude-mem skill instead of incorrectly mentioning MCP search tools for accessing memories.

Feb 23, 2026

This release primarily addresses bug fixes and reliability improvements, most notably fixing a worker startup race condition, renaming the MCP tool save_memory to save_observation for consistency, and improving installer reliability by hosting from install.cmem.ai instead of GitHub raw URLs.

Feb 23, 2026

This is a bug fix release addressing three root causes of chroma-mcp timeouts related to duplicate worker daemons and zombie processes. The fixes include PID-based and port-based guards to prevent multiple daemons from starting simultaneously, and guaranteed process.exit() after HTTP shutdown to prevent zombie workers.

Feb 19, 2026

This release replaces the WASM-based embeddings with a persistent chroma-mcp MCP connection via uvx, introducing ChromaMcpManager as a singleton stdio client to eliminate native binary issues like segfaults and cross-platform install problems.

Feb 18, 2026

This is a bug fix release addressing a critical zombie process accumulation issue in observer CLI subprocesses. The fix implements a dual-layer approach: immediate cleanup through finally blocks in SessionRoutes.ts and worker-service.ts, plus periodic background reaping via reapStaleSessions() to kill orphaned processes with SIGKILL escalation.

Feb 18, 2026

This bug fix release introduces a self-healing message queue that automatically resets stale processing messages (>60s) back to pending before claiming, eliminating stuck messages from generator crashes without external timers. The method was renamed from `claimAndDelete` to `claimNextMessage`, and redundant idle-timeout reset logic was removed since the atomic self-healing now handles recovery inline.

Feb 18, 2026

This release fixes critical bugs in the Chroma vector database backfill system. The backfill process now runs on worker startup to ensure all SQLite observations are synced to Chroma, and fixes a critical routing bug that caused orphan collections instead of using the shared collection.

Feb 18, 2026

This is a bug fix release addressing persistent embedding pipeline failures caused by Chroma ONNX model cache corruption. Three root causes were identified and fixed: the destructive `bun pm cache rm` command that broke ONNX resolution, missing `bun install` in the plugin cache directory, and the ONNX model being stored inside node_modules where it could be corrupted on reinstall.

Feb 17, 2026

This is a maintenance release focused on cleanup and simplification. It removes an unused dev dependency (`node-addon-api`) that was only needed for the already-removed `sharp` library, and simplifies native module cache clearing by replacing ~30 lines of brittle file system manipulation with a clean Bun CLI command (`bun pm cache rm`).

Feb 17, 2026

This is a bug fix release addressing multiple issues including Bun compatibility with sharp native modules, security vulnerabilities, and session scoping problems. The release fixes a shell injection vulnerability in sync-marketplace, resolves stale native module cache issues, and corrects message handling to prevent cross-session interference.

Feb 16, 2026

This release adds SessionStart system message support enabling hooks to display ANSI-colored timeline summaries directly in the CLI, introduces a clickable 'View Observations Live' link, and implements parallel context fetching for improved performance. New installs now default to a cleaner display with hidden token columns and savings amount.

Feb 16, 2026

This is a bug fix release addressing three critical issues: preventing orphaned Claude subprocesses from accumulating by adding explicit cleanup after SDK query loops, fixing Chroma binary resolution using absolute paths with fallback, and switching to WASM-based Chroma embeddings to eliminate native binary compilation issues across platforms.

Feb 16, 2026

This release v10.0.7 introduces a major architectural change by switching from in-process Chroma to a persistent HTTP server managed by ChromaServerManager, while also adding local embeddings support via DefaultEmbeddingFunction to eliminate external API dependencies. The update includes bug fixes for SDK spawn failures and sharp native crashes, plus infrastructure enhancements for claude-mem Pro multi-tenancy.

Feb 14, 2026

This release v10.0.6 fixes two OpenClaw-related bugs: one where MEMORY.md context injection wasn't querying both base and agent-scoped project names, and another allowing feeds to use a dedicated Telegram botToken instead of the gateway bot token. The OpenClaw plugin type was also changed from 'integration' to 'memory' for accuracy.

Feb 13, 2026

This release introduces the OpenClaw one-liner installer - a full cross-platform installation script with support for macOS, Linux, and WSL, featuring automatic dependency management, interactive AI provider setup, and worker health verification. It also enhances the /api/health endpoint and fixes several OpenClaw plugin issues related to prompt storage, gateway discovery, and reinstall cleanup.

Feb 13, 2026

This release reverts the codebase from the problematic v10.0.3 back to the stable v10.0.2 state, as v10.0.3 introduced regressions. Multiple stability mechanisms including connection mutex, process guards, circuit breaker, and orphan reaper have been removed.

Feb 12, 2026

A maintenance update for the Swarm SDK, incrementing the version from 2.7.14 to 2.7.15.

Feb 12, 2026

This is a critical bug fix release addressing a severe spawn storm issue where killing the worker daemon caused 641 chroma-mcp Python processes to spawn in ~5 minutes, consuming 75%+ CPU and ~64GB virtual memory. The fix implements a comprehensive 5-layer defense system to prevent concurrent race conditions and error-driven reconnection loops.
