<Update label="v0.12.0" description="March 2026" tags={["Release"]}>
  #### What's New

  * **Google OAuth** — Sign in and sign up with your Google account. Existing email/password accounts with matching addresses are linked automatically.
  * **Payment method storage** — Save a card on file (via Stripe) to enable credit top-ups and auto-reload.
  * **Auto-reload** — Automatically purchase credits when your balance drops below a configurable threshold. Requires a saved payment method. Owner-only setting.
  * **Monthly spend limit** — Set an optional cap on monthly credit purchases for your organization. Includes an MTD progress bar and a warning at 80% of limit.
  * **Purchased credits** — Credit balance is now split into monthly allowance (resets each cycle) and purchased credits (never expire).
  * **Onboarding checklist** — New organizations see a getting-started checklist on the Dashboard covering project creation, team invitations, and settings. Dismissible once complete.
</Update>

<Update label="v0.10.0" description="March 2026" tags={["Release"]}>
  #### What's New

  * **GitHub integration** — Connect a GitHub App installation to a project so agents can read the codebase directly from GitHub — no local clone required. Configure the repository and default branch in **Project Settings → GitHub Integration**.
  * **Code sources** — Each session now has a code source picker in the workspace bar: Local (folder on your machine), GitHub App (via project installation), or GitHub Personal (your OAuth-connected account). The source is saved per session.
  * **Per-session branch picker** — In GitHub mode, select any branch from the connected repository directly from the workspace bar. Selection persists across sessions.
  * **Worktree creation** — Click **+ worktree** in the workspace bar to create an isolated git worktree on a new branch for the current session. Available in both Local and GitHub modes. The worktree folder is configurable per project.
  * **Terminal launch** — In Local mode, a terminal icon in the workspace bar opens a terminal at the session's local path.
  * **Session status** — Sessions now have a status (Active, On Hold, Blocked, Completed) independent of their lifecycle phase. Set via the session context menu. Blocked and on-hold states require a reason.
  * **Agent hint bar** — When a session reaches a completed phase (e.g., Planning complete), a contextual prompt appears suggesting a next step — such as running a review or verification agent.
</Update>

<Update label="v0.9.0" description="March 2026" tags={["Release"]}>
  #### What's New

  * **MCP Integration** — Local MCP server connects Brunel Agent directly to Cursor, Claude Code, and VS Code. Configure port, allowed projects, and API key authentication in Settings → MCP Server.
  * **AWS Bedrock support** — In addition to Anthropic, organizations can now configure AWS Bedrock as an AI provider. Set the provider at the org level and assign it per project.
  * **Inline file viewers** — Context files now include inline previews for `.docx` and `.xlsx` files. No need to download and open attachments separately.
  * **Session lifecycle phases** — Sessions now move through four explicit phases: Backlog → Planning → Execution → Verification. Phase status is visible on the Dashboard and updates in real time for all team members.
  * **RBAC** — Role-based access control with four roles: Owner, Admin, Member, and Viewer.
  * **Real-time Dashboard** — Team-wide view of all sessions grouped by lifecycle phase, updating live across all members.
  * **Multi-tab session interface** — Open and switch between multiple sessions simultaneously with tab-based navigation and unread badges.
  * **Auto-update** — The app checks for and installs updates automatically on launch.
