claude-mem Releases

Initial release of version 0.1.0 based on previous version 0.0.5.

Apr 20, 2026

Patch release focusing on bug fixes across search, database, worker, and Docker components. Addresses parameter mismatches, adds FTS5 fallback for ChromaDB unavailability, implements database maintenance routines, and improves worker error handling.

Apr 20, 2026

Patch release focused on comprehensive error handling improvements across 91 files, fixing anti-patterns and improving resilience. Resolves issues with conversation history in multi-turn contexts and cross-type deduplication collisions.

Apr 20, 2026

Feature release introducing Docker container support and SWE-bench evaluation harness for testing claude-mem's effect on resolve rate. Provides ready-to-run container and evaluation framework.

Apr 20, 2026

Bug fix release that eliminates unnecessary parser warnings on normal observation responses. The warning was incorrectly firing on every normal observation turn after a refactor.

Apr 19, 2026

Feature release adding subagent summary control and observation labeling. Claude Code subagents no longer trigger session summaries, and observations are now tagged with the originating subagent's identity.

Apr 19, 2026

Implements a three-layer defense against infinite summary-retry loops that had been causing repeated session spawns with extra context. Adds parser coercion, stronger prompts, and a circuit breaker to cap consecutive failures.

Apr 19, 2026

This release introduces worktree adoption capabilities, allowing observations from merged git worktrees to be consolidated into their parent project's view. It adds a new CLI command for manual adoption, auto-adoption on worker startup, and various UI and query improvements.

Apr 18, 2026

This is a critical regression fix for a bug that prevented observations and summaries from saving on Claude Code 2.1.109+. The issue was caused by the Agent SDK emitting an orphan `--setting-sources` flag that consumed the following `--permission-mode` as its value, causing all observation SDK spawns to crash with exit code 1.

Apr 16, 2026

This is a critical hotfix release (v12.1.5) to address a bug in v12.1.3 that caused 100% observation failure due to empty-string argument filtering corrupting the `--setting-sources` flag on Claude Code 2.1.109+. The fix was already implemented in v12.1.4, but this release forces the update across npm and the marketplace to ensure all users receive the patch.

Apr 15, 2026

This is a minor bug fix release that reverts unauthorized branding changes made during a previous compression refactor. The $CMEM token branding in the context injection header has been replaced with the original descriptive format.

Apr 15, 2026

This is a patch release that reverts an earlier feature (PR #1718) that attempted to create synthetic summaries when the AI returned `<observation>` tags instead of `<summary>` tags. The maintainer decided that missing summaries are preferable to fabricated ones with poorly-mapped fields.

Apr 15, 2026

This v12.1.2 release merges 15 community PRs focused on runtime reliability, cross-platform compatibility, and data integrity improvements. Key improvements include session lifecycle guards to prevent runaway API spend, circuit breaker on OpenClaw worker client, and better file observation with mtime-based invalidation. The test baseline improved significantly from 18 failures to 11.

Apr 15, 2026

A patch release addressing critical bugs across summary persistence, MCP compliance, cross-platform compatibility, and data integrity. The most notable fix salvages synthetic summaries when AI returns observation tags instead of summary tags, which was happening ~72% of the time in v12.0.x.

Apr 15, 2026

This release focuses on upgrading audio processing models, optimizing caching strategies, and unifying settings across various TTS engines. It also introduces a debugging tool and removes deprecated model names.

Apr 14, 2026

This release introduces a major Knowledge Agent system that allows users to build queryable AI 'brains' from their Claude observation history, enabling conversational Q&A against compiled corpora with full lifecycle management (build, prime, query, reprime, rebuild, delete). The update includes 6 new MCP tools, 8 HTTP API endpoints, significant security hardening against path traversal and instruction injection, and comprehensive documentation with a Quick Start guide.

Apr 9, 2026

Hotfix v12.0.1 fixes a critical crash in v12.0.0 where the MCP server bundle incorrectly included `bun:sqlite` (a Bun-only module), causing immediate failure under Node.js. The root cause was a transitive import chain that ballooned the bundle from 358KB to 1.96MB. The fix extracts the problematic code into a new lightweight module and adds build-time guardrails to prevent this regression from happening again.

Apr 8, 2026

A major release delivering intelligent file-read gating that blocks redundant reads using observation timeline injection, expanded smart-explore to 24 programming languages via tree-sitter AST parsing, and full platform source isolation between Claude and Codex sessions. Includes 40+ bug fixes across Windows, Linux, and macOS plus OpenClaw and Codex plugin support.

Apr 7, 2026

This patch release changes the default behavior of `CLAUDE_MEM_SEMANTIC_INJECT` from enabled to disabled, making per-prompt Chroma vector search opt-in rather than opt-out. The change reduces latency and context noise for users who didn't explicitly enable this feature, while a more precise file-context approach is in development as a future replacement.

Apr 6, 2026

claude-mem v11.0.0 is a major release consolidating v10.7.0 through v11.0.0, introducing semantic context injection using ChromaDB for relevance-based search, tier routing that reduces SDK agent costs by ~52%, and a new multi-machine sync CLI. The release also fixes orphaned messages and includes 3 upstream production bugs.
