Release Notes - v1.2.0.dev1

Release Date: 2026-06-19
Changes: v1.2.0.dev1 → dev

Summary

This development release (v1.2.0.dev1) introduces preview features for collaboration, search, and integrations, plus performance and reliability improvements across the memory store and UI. It's a developer-focused build: new capabilities are available in preview and some internal APIs have changed — review the breaking changes before upgrading.

Highlights

• Collaboration preview: share memories and set basic permissions
• Big search improvements: tagging, autocomplete, and relevance tuning
• New integrations (preview): Slack and Google Drive connectors
• Faster sync and lower memory ingestion latency
• Developer notice: API previews and internal changes — check migration notes

Breaking Changes

• API preview changes: Several /memories API endpoints were updated in this dev release. If you use the internal HTTP API, update your integration to the latest SDK or consult the migration notes before upgrading.
• Connector configuration changed: Slack and Google Drive connectors now require separate connector tokens and an additional configuration step. Existing connector settings will need to be reconnected in this dev release.
• Data model tweak (preview): Internal metadata structure has been adjusted to support richer tagging and permissions. This may affect custom scripts or direct database queries — use the migration utility or SDK to avoid surprises.

New Features

• Memory sharing and permissions (preview): You can now share individual memories with other users or teams and assign basic read/write permissions. This enables collaborative memory curation and reduces duplication of effort.
• Search tagging and autocomplete: Add tags to memories and enjoy tag autocomplete in the search box, making it faster to find relevant memories.
• Slack and Google Drive integrations (preview): Link your Slack workspace and Google Drive to bring conversations and documents into Cognee as memories. These connectors are beta — expect further configuration and tuning.
• Improved onboarding & in-app help: New contextual tips and a guided first-run flow to help new users create and manage memories more effectively.

Improvements

• Significantly reduced memory ingestion latency, so newly added memories appear faster in searches and feeds.
• Search relevance tuning and ranking improvements for more accurate results, especially on short queries.
• UI updates: a denser memory list view for power users, faster rendering on large collections, and tag-based filtering in lists.
• Conflict resolution improvements for simultaneous edits — fewer merge prompts and smarter auto-merge behavior.
• Sync reliability: more robust background sync with retries and better offline handling.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where duplicate memories could be created when network connectivity was intermittent.
• Resolved a crash in the memory detail view that occurred for very large attachments.
• Fixed export CSV formatting for memories with multiline fields.
• Addressed a bug where deleting a memory sometimes left orphaned attachments in storage.
• UI fixes for tag editing and keyboard accessibility improvements.

Technical Changes

• Backend refactor: memory store and search index code were refactored to improve performance and maintainability.
• Updated dependency stack: several libraries updated to newer minor versions; this reduces security risk and enables new features (see CHANGELOG for details).
• Improved test coverage and CI pipelines for memory ingestion and connector flows.
• Dropped or changed some internal/private APIs — external apps should rely on published SDKs and documented endpoints going forward.
