Release Notes - v1.0.0
Release Date: 2026-04-11
Changes: v1.0.0.dev0 → main
Summary
Cognee 1.0.0 is the project's first stable release. It primarily formalizes the release (version bump), enables caching by default for better out-of-the-box performance, and includes test and packaging cleanups to improve reliability and reproducible installs.
Highlights
- Official 1.0.0 release — stable baseline for production use.
- Caching is now enabled by default for improved performance.
- Updated tests to reflect the new caching default (stability improvement).
- Packaging lockfile cleanup to reduce noisy metadata in distributions.
Breaking Changes
- Default caching behavior changed: CacheConfig now has caching=True by default. If your code relied on caching being disabled by default, you must explicitly disable it when creating the configuration (for example, pass caching=False when instantiating CacheConfig or set your configuration/environment accordingly).
New Features
- Formal release: project version bumped to 1.0.0 in pyproject.toml — marks a stable baseline for users and downstream packages.
Improvements
- Caching enabled by default in CacheConfig: users get improved performance and faster responses out of the box without additional configuration.
- Tests adjusted to reflect the new default caching behavior, reducing false negatives in CI and making test expectations match runtime behavior.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a unit test that asserted the old caching default. The test now expects caching to be True by default, preventing a failing test when running the test suite against the released package.
Technical Changes
- uv.lock was cleaned up to remove revision/upload-time metadata from package entries — internal packaging/lockfile tidy-up that shouldn't affect runtime behavior but may change lockfile diffs and reproducibility tooling.
- Minor test file update: cognee/tests/unit/infrastructure/databases/cache/test_cache_config.py updated to align expectations with the new default.
