December 2025 highlights: Completed a major LangChain deprecation across MindsDB Rag components and the agent subsystem, migrating to a Pydantic-based agent and custom implementations. Replaced LangChain with HTML parsing libraries (Beautiful Soup, html2text) and updated dependencies. Launched a Simple Data Catalog Builder to organize data sources and enhanced plan generation with KB sampling. Achieved significant stability improvements in KB and Agent controllers, plus groundwork for A2A workflows and streaming improvements. Enhanced observability and reliability with Prometheus metrics, labels, and Pushgateway integration; improved logging, error handling with retries, and robust handling of edge cases and empty results. Implemented planning step and cleanup to reduce dead code and improve maintainability. Strengthened typing and prompt engineering to improve generation quality and developer ergonomics. Increased data access capabilities with data catalog, charts integration, and improved API status handling.
