## What's New (April 10–17, 2026)
13
+
14
+
Two major Hermes releases dropped this week. This guide is current as of both.
-**Local web dashboard** (`hermes dashboard`) — full browser UI for config, API keys, sessions, logs, analytics, cron, and skills. See [Part 12](./part12-web-dashboard.md).
19
+
-**Fast Mode** (`/fast`) — priority-tier inference on OpenAI & Anthropic, available on every gateway platform, not just the CLI. See [Part 14](./part14-fast-mode-watchers.md).
20
+
-**Three new messaging adapters** — iMessage (via BlueBubbles), WeChat/Weixin, and WeCom (Enterprise WeChat). Brings the total to **16 platforms**. See [Part 15](./part15-new-platforms.md).
21
+
-**Android / Termux** tested install path — run the full Hermes CLI on your phone. See [Part 15](./part15-new-platforms.md#android--termux-running-hermes-on-your-phone).
22
+
-**Background process monitoring** (`watch_patterns`) — real-time regex event hooks on long-running processes, no more polling. See [Part 14](./part14-fast-mode-watchers.md#background-process-monitoring-watch_patterns).
23
+
-**Pluggable context engine** — swap in a custom engine to filter memory, inject domain context, or pre-summarize tool output. See [Part 14](./part14-fast-mode-watchers.md#pluggable-context-engine).
24
+
-**`hermes backup` / `hermes import`** — first-class portable backups with interactive conflict resolution. See [Part 16](./part16-backup-debug.md).
25
+
-**Dashboard plugins** — third-party tabs that extend the web UI. See [Part 12](./part12-web-dashboard.md#dashboard-plugins-extend-the-ui).
26
+
-**Proxy support, webhook secret validation, SSRF protection, log redaction** — hardening pass across every adapter. See [Part 16](./part16-backup-debug.md#security-hardening-v09--v010-notes).
-**Nous Tool Gateway** — paid [Nous Portal](https://portal.nousresearch.com) subscribers get web search (Firecrawl), image generation (FAL FLUX 2 Pro), TTS (OpenAI), and browser automation (Browser Use) through their subscription — **no extra API keys**. Per-tool `use_gateway: true` with clean precedence over direct keys. See [Part 13](./part13-tool-gateway.md).
31
+
-**Native xAI and Xiaomi MiMo providers** — both now have first-class adapters with provider-specific features (Grok's live-X search, MiMo's reasoning modes), not just OpenRouter pass-through. See [Part 9](./part9-custom-models.md).
32
+
-**`/compress <topic>`** — guided compression that preserves detail relevant to a topic. See [Part 14](./part14-fast-mode-watchers.md#compress-topic--guided-compression).
33
+
-**`/debug` + `hermes debug share`** — single-command diagnostic bundler with upload endpoint for bug reports. See [Part 16](./part16-backup-debug.md#debug-and-hermes-debug-share).
34
+
-**Approval bypass inheritance for subagents** — subagents inherit the parent session's approval posture; override per delegation. See [Part 16](./part16-backup-debug.md#approval-bypass-for-trusted-subagents).
35
+
-`HERMES_ENABLE_NOUS_MANAGED_TOOLS` env flag **removed** — replaced by clean subscription detection + per-tool `use_gateway`. `hermes upgrade` migrates automatically.
