2    
3 root 1.57 0.82 (unreleased)
4     - bootstrap remote mcp-fs over a short Perl command, streaming the
5     launcher source over stdin. Avoid rsh command length limits and
6     preserve worker input across exec by using exact sysread.
7 root 1.58 - format mcp-fs sandbox grants, tools, trusted configuration keys
8     and permission action classes as individually searchable POD items.
9 root 1.57
10 root 1.56 0.81 Thu 05 Nov 2026 04:51:59 CET
11 root 1.55 - keep OAuth2 tests working without optional Mail::IMAPTalk,
12     IO::Socket::SSL or Authen::SASL; skip only worker-specific checks.
13     - support optional `mount-try.SUFFIX = ro:/path` or `rw:/path` in
14     mcp-fs configuration. Pass these directly as bubblewrap
15     --ro-bind-try/--bind-try for each invocation, without startup path
16     checks, locally and remotely; required mount.* entries are unchanged.
17     - support one remote host per mcp-fs instance with -h/--host and
18     -e/--rsh; resolve remote workdirs and available tools in a single
19     startup probe, then execute existing workers through a binary-framed
20     remote Perl launcher without installing any MCP modules remotely.
21 root 1.56 - use logical absolute pathnames (without resolving symlinks) as compact
22     workdir IDs across hosts; qualify remote permission scopes independently.
23     Named profiles remain shared between instances. Report cached remote
24     VCS markers and remote umask.
25 root 1.55 - reserve -h for application-specific options; --help remains common.
26     - test remote workers, external GNU utilities, permission isolation,
27     shell argument quoting and startup probing using a mock remote shell
28     and bubblewrap, including unsandboxed/auto behavior. Verify matching
29 root 1.56 workdir IDs for identical logical paths across local and remote
30 root 1.55 instances.
31     - make mock remote-agent tests independent of a local SSH_AUTH_SOCK
32     inherited from the test runner (including CPAN Testers).
33     - document --eager when starting mcp-webbrowser through multibroker;
34     defer possible downstream preferences for --eager and --hidden.
35    
36 root 1.53 0.8 Thu 05 Nov 2026 01:52:48 CET
37 root 1.49 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: due to the added user management, existing
38     url tokens have been invalidated.
39 root 1.54 - limit distribution permission normalization to its staging
40     directory, and supply proper CPAN author and abstract metadata.
41 root 1.52 - give shared command-line switches their own reference in
42     Server::Simple; use individually indexed POD items for executable
43     options and application-specific shared-option behavior.
44 root 1.51 - refresh the introductory guide and mcp-imap/mcp-http manuals
45     with first-use workflows, OAuth2 setup, mailbox/search examples
46     and reverse-TLS troubleshooting; correct stale retry documentation.
47 root 1.50 - extend mcp-imap SEARCH filters with recursive AND/OR/NOT, header,
48     text/body, date, size and flag criteria; use explicitly quoted
49     IMAP arguments and bounded filter complexity.
50     - capture deliberately triggered connection errors in test assertions,
51     avoiding noisy successful test runs.
52 root 1.49 - expose IMAP LSUB to inspect subscribed mailboxes, alongside
53     subscribe/unsubscribe; return the same format as LIST.
54     - remove superseded IMAP OAuth provider and pagination prototypes
55     and their obsolete reference tests.
56 root 1.51 - defer outgoing mail submission research (mcp-smtp or mcp-imap)
57     in TODO.md.
58 root 1.48 - retry reverse connections only for TCP connection refusal and
59     unexpected disconnects; report and stop on other TCP errors or
60     TLS handshake/verification failures.
61     - force scalar context when checking Mail::IMAPTalk results;
62     list context truncated LIST responses and could corrupt SEARCH
63     results. Test with context-sensitive IMAP mocks.
64     - report HTTPS reverse-connection handshake failures rather than
65     silently retrying; send credentials only after verified TLS succeeds.
66     - omit pointless mailbox permission dimension for mcp-imap mailboxes.
67     - clarify expected OAuth redirect error page and account selection.
68     - implement mcp-imap OAuth2 authorization-code login with PKCE,
69     human-pasted headless browser redirect, HTTPS token exchange,
70     refresh-token persistence/rotation and IMAP SASL XOAUTH2.
71     Keep interactive credentials outside MCP tools and argv.
72     - omit unnecessary shell quotes in mcp-imap providers commands.
73     - expand mcp-imap providers with Thunderbird ISPDB domain search,
74     provider-hosted HTTPS autoconfig lookup and ISPDB fallback,
75     password-based IMAP alternatives and provider setup instructions;
76     continue printing optional OAuth configuration without saving it.
77 root 1.47 - add per-downstream --hidden to mcp-multibroker, omitting a
78     server's tools from normal discovery while retaining explicit
79     list-tools, discover-brokers and call-tool access.
80 root 1.46 - number the user management test consecutively as t/27_users.t.
81 root 1.45 - tidy Perl import grouping, internal comments and source layout
82     in the command-line tools and library modules.
83     - stop imposing an IMAP account file mode check; access is governed
84     by ordinary filesystem permissions.
85 root 1.44 - use the permission engine's literal matching convention for exact
86     user identities and test positive permission-scope validation.
87     - reject invalid browser WebSocket credentials via the documented
88     handshake exception interface, producing one specific warning.
89     - apply the same handshake rejection handling to Vim WebSocket
90     connections, including peer and invalid-token/path warnings.
91     - document user-management scopes and URL examples in command help.
92 root 1.43 - add scoped, revocable MCP users with HKDF-derived credentials,
93     an implicit global default user, and atomic user management;
94     list effective user URLs with --print-url[=USER], also accepting
95     --print-urls, without binding the advertised listener port.
96     - associate HTTP credentials with per-request users, bind user
97     identity to persistent permissions and permission continuations,
98     and delegate original users through trusted multibrokers.
99     - select the effective connect_user (default: default) for reverse
100     MCP, private Vim and browser connections, independently of normal
101     authenticated HTTP tool calls.
102 root 1.42 - treat empty directory paths as "." in mcp-fs list, find, grep and
103     VCS cwd, without accepting empty filenames.
104 root 1.41 - support opportunistic HTTP/HTTPS and reverse MCP connections on the
105     same listener, TLS certificate/key CLI options, and dual URL discovery;
106     support verified HTTPS for outgoing reverse connections.
107 root 1.39 - treat idle HTTP disconnects as normal EOF while retaining errors
108     for clients disconnecting during request headers or bodies.
109     - identify failing MCP connections by client name, remote address
110     and connection id, including modern per-request client metadata.
111 root 1.38 - trace local multibroker prompt starts, outcomes and cancellations
112     with elapsed time to diagnose disappearing permission dialogs.
113     - use an 8 MiB default MCP message size across JSONL and HTTP
114     clients and servers, allowing large base64 tool requests through
115     mcp-multibroker; log server transport errors at warn level
116     instead of silently closing connections.
117 root 1.37 - load AnyEvent::Log at compile time so its format_time call is parsed
118     as a function, fixing activity logging on Perl 5.10.
119    
120 root 1.36 0.71 Fri 30 Oct 2026 18:01:51 CET
121 root 1.35 - make multibroker-spawned children ask for permissions through MCP,
122     independently of the multibroker's own permission prompt mode.
123 root 1.36 - log VCS backend and a bounded, JSON-quoted preview of filenames for
124     vcs-diff, vcs-status and vcs-log.
125     - load only core modules in t/00_load.t; optional IMAP dependencies
126     are tested separately when available.
127     - let the fake bubblewrap test use the host temporary directory on
128     systems without /tmp (notably Termux).
129     - suppress Perl startup locale warnings in sandbox workers when
130     the requested C.UTF-8 locale is unavailable.
131     - canonicalize temporary test paths to match mcp-fs on systems with
132     symlinked temp directories; diagnose failing filesystem assertions.
133     - test SSE notification ordering at client delivery rather than
134     server enqueue time, avoiding a network scheduling race.
135     - diagnose failing multibroker HTTP integration tests with preflight
136     responses, RPC results and bounded server startup diagnostics.
137 root 1.35
138 root 1.34 0.7 Fri 30 Oct 2026 14:56:18 CET
139     - WARNING: mcp-imap is unfinished and has not been tested against a real IMAP server.
140     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: rules have changed, old rules will be erased.
141     - declare the same license terms as Perl itself in distribution metadata.
142     - new mcp servers in this release: mcp-http
143     - accept optional dimension default matcher for persistent-rule prompts;
144 root 1.33 - clarify that mcp-fs exec has private /tmp by default; shared-tmp
145     exposes host /tmp and is not needed for ordinary temporary files or IPC.
146 root 1.32 - add mcp-fs vcs-log for Git, SVN, CVS and Mercurial, reusing bounded
147     output and dedicated permission actions; SVN log receives network
148     and SSH-agent grants alongside CVS operations.
149 root 1.31 mcp-webbrowser prefers any JavaScript in the current tab, while the
150     independent origin dimension remains scoped to the current origin.
151 root 1.30 - log mcp-http requests with their method and a sanitized URL preview;
152     identify mcp-http/$VERSION in User-Agent unless overridden by the caller.
153 root 1.31 Allow generic key=value context in the shared mcp_log_request formatter.
154 root 1.29 - silently treat invalid saved permission-rule files as empty, prompting
155     instead of aborting broker startup; subsequent saves replace the old file.
156 root 1.30 - add mcp-http for arbitrary HTTP methods with URL-scoped approvals,
157     caller-managed cookie jars, bounded bodies and text grep/regex/substitution.
158     Disable redirects, retries and proxies; verify HTTPS certificates.
159     - derive browser permission origins from reported URLs, not a new
160     userscript field; keep older browser clients able to execute with
161     origin-scoped permissions.
162     - accept compatible browser-protocol minor versions; return empty
163     operation discovery for 1.0 clients instead of disconnecting them.
164 root 1.29 Direct rule saves no longer perform semantic validation.
165 root 1.28 - replace special-case subject, origin and workdir permission scopes with
166     named dimensions: metadata-driven prompts, generic match.NAME rule keys,
167     and engine-enforced matcher choices. Reject old request and rule fields;
168     no conversion or backward-compatible rule loading.
169 root 1.27 - preserve selected origin scopes when external permission helpers
170     forward persistent decisions through native MCP elicitation.
171 root 1.26 - add origin-scoped MCP permission rules, selectable independently of
172 root 1.30 code/tab scopes; mcp-webbrowser derives browser origins for
173 root 1.26 JavaScript and tab operations, with exact, any-port and any-origin
174     choices. Existing rules without origins continue to match all origins.
175 root 1.25 - use POSIX::uname instead of nonportable hostname -f for the XPCSE
176     browser nickname, consistent with HTTP URL wildcard host selection.
177     - make form helper test run via explicit ./ path, avoid early HTTP
178     timer races, and test filesystem discovery with optional tools absent.
179 root 1.23 - report browser protocol rejections through bounded WebSocket close
180     reasons; show abnormal disconnects in the userscript console and toast.
181     - document browser wire-protocol minor-version compatibility: accept
182     compatible older and newer clients without breaking base functionality.
183     - remove the obsolete private stdio permission-result bridge from
184     mcp-multibroker; use ordinary form elicitation.
185 root 1.22 - add per-tab operation discovery and calls to mcp-webbrowser, with
186     per-tab routing, ordinary MCP permissions and browser protocol 1.1;
187     the userscript initially advertises no extra operations.
188     - make the unsandboxed-warning test tolerate diagnostic output from
189     non-GNU utility probes (FreeBSD and BusyBox).
190     - add mcp-imap with one named password-authenticated account per instance,
191     bounded UID search, MIME reads, explicit mailbox/message mutations,
192     UIDPLUS-only targeted expunge, forked worker and MCP permissions.
193 root 1.21 - propagate XPCSE save response ETags back to Vim session metadata;
194     make stale upload HTTP status an editor error.
195     - require GNU sed in worker tool discovery; report missing-Perl diagnostics in tests.
196 root 1.18 - xpcse: forward Vim's :write! flag through mcp-vim to browser
197     uploads, without changing upload behavior yet.
198 root 1.19 - recommend rather than require WebSocket modules: only mcp-vim and
199     mcp-webbrowser use them; mcp-vim loads them only for browser clients,
200     and tests skip optional WebSocket coverage when unavailable.
201 root 1.18
202 root 1.17 0.65 Fri 23 Oct 2026 22:41:32 CEST
203 root 1.14 - fix mcp-webbrowser userscript title indicator duplicating prefixes on empty titles.
204 root 1.17 - use built scripts in make test PATH, avoiding source shebangs and
205     accidentally installed helpers in rule management tests.
206 root 1.15 - clarify browser execute code wrapper and reject function/symbol return
207     values instead of silently converting them to null.
208 root 1.17 - fix many bugs in the testsuite.
209 root 1.13
210 root 1.12 0.62 Thu 22 Oct 2026 13:32:52 CEST
211 root 1.16 - INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: mcp_getoptions now returns a hash reference instead of
212     a key/value list.
213 root 1.11 - Simple accepts server_name/server_version independently of the local
214     instance name, leaving server_info as an unmodified protocol override.
215     - query multibroker children in parallel for tool and broker discovery,
216     preserving tool order and returning partial results after 15 seconds
217     instead of blocking on an unresponsive child.
218 root 1.8 - accept a missing trailing slash on HTTP MCP endpoint URLs, working
219 root 1.10 around Claude's MCP connector wrongly dropping it from the configured URL,
220 root 1.18 thus corrupting it.
221 root 1.7 - allow omitted ports in reverse extension URLs, defaulting to port 80.
222 root 1.9 - fix MCP client/server version fields serialized as JSON numbers in 0.61.
223 root 1.7
224 root 1.6 0.61 Thu 22 Oct 2026 08:57:42 CEST
225 root 1.5 - resolve bind hostnames via AnyEvent::Socket instead of Socket::getaddrinfo.
226 root 1.4 - honor user-selected file permissions and preserve them across replacements.
227     - fix permission test fixture grants.
228     - fix activity log timestamp formatting on older perl versions.
229     - correct multibroker test tool count (including meta-instructions).
230     - fix perl 5.12 syntax errors in mcp-fs and mcp-vim.
231    
232 root 1.3 0.6 Wed 21 Oct 2026 20:43:20 CEST
233 root 1.2 - 34k LOC of pure llm madness. but seems to work. yay.
234 root 1.1
235     0.0 Sat 03 Oct 2026 07:29:39 CEST
236     - original version, an AnyEvent::HTTP clone.
