NousResearch tagged it covering everything since v0.20.0 on August 3: 2,172 files touched, +233,872/−75,244 lines, ~481 issues closed, spanning desktop app, gateway platforms, installers, tool system and provider catalogs. The notes exist purely to give downstream consumers a stable pin, deferring curated highlights to v0.21.0. A 233K-line diff in ten days on a 230,000-star repo is a merge velocity to think about before you pin to latest. NousResearch also shipped Hermes-Bot-Mode (268 stars) as a desktop plugin requiring no core patches, giving each bot its own chat, avatar, routines and bot-to-bot messaging. A first-party lab dogfooding its own extension surface instead of merging the feature is worth noticing.
