August 2025 focused on delivering foundational capabilities for docker/mcp-gateway, improving onboarding, safety, and observability while stabilizing the codebase. Key features introduced target multi-catalog onboarding, refined feature specs, better developer experience through CLI enhancements, and stronger resource safety. Telemetry and metering enhancements improve operational visibility. Maintenance work, tests, and documentation updates underpin long-term maintainability and faster value delivery for customers.

July 2025 saw substantial progress in docker/cagent with a solid MCP integration and session management foundation, clarified architecture decisions, and streaming enhancements. Notable work includes a MCP shim with session spec support and client-vs-agent session distinctions; Phase 1 and Phase 2 scaffolding milestones (path bounds, docs, MCP server stub); new session exposure for 4.4 alongside testing utilities and enhanced agent invocation metadata. Additionally, upgrade readiness and quality improvements were reinforced through API compatibility adjustments after rebase, targeted lint fixes, multitenant caveats documentation, and an AI-assisted PR draft process.
