Key Points

  • The v1.14.3 release adds lifecycle events for checkpoint operations and introduces checkpoint/fork support for standalone agents.
  • It expands provider and platform compatibility by adding support for e2b and Bedrock V4, and by falling back to DefaultAzureCredential when no Azure API key is provided.
  • The update enhances integration tooling and functionality by adding Bedrock V4 support, Daytona sandbox tools, and optimizing the MCP SDK/event types to reduce cold start time by ~29%.
  • Multiple bug fixes improve checkpointing correctness and serialization (e.g., separating execution_id from state.id, fixing replay on checkpoint resume, and correcting task/state class reference serialization).
  • Documentation changes include a “Build with AI” page update/removal of pricing FAQ, alongside version/changelog updates to reflect v1.14.3.
