Releases

NEW - 19.09.2026#

• The panel opens on an Overview again — first row in the sidebar, four cards, no scrolling: which site is live and on what address, the commit it is serving and who pushed it, whether the agent is armed, what the AI engines did this week, and whether readers arrived. The question "is everything all right with my docs" is now answered by looking, not by opening four sections. Panel

• Your site's card carries the last commit's message, its short hash and its author, so "did my push go live?" stops being a trip to GitHub. Panel

• A new Edit button beside Visit opens your documentation in edit mode with nothing else on screen — click a block and change it, no chat rail taking half the window. Panel

• The + beside Domains goes straight to setting up your own domain, instead of a line of text telling you that you have not got one. Panel

• The Overview's AI card splits crawler traffic into AI answers, Indexing and Training, so "an assistant read us while answering somebody" is no longer averaged in with "a model swept us for training data". Analytics

• A reading that could not be taken now shows as a dash rather than a zero, and a week-on-week figure with no previous week to compare against shows no percentage at all — nothing on this page is a number nobody measured. Analytics

• New content blocks — a stats band, a hero with buttons and a code panel, cards with New/Beta pills, and a full footer — so a docs homepage can read as a product page instead of a table of contents. Content

• Creating a project now runs no AI and finishes in about a second: pick from 32 hand-written templates (API reference, on-call runbook, help centre, contributor guide, blank), paste your site's address for instant branding, or import a GitHub repository (searched across your organizations, nothing written into it) — the site is readable the moment it exists, and writing with AI is still one screen away when you want it. Onboarding

• Drop a folder of PDFs, Word docs, Markdown or plain text into a new or existing project and each file becomes a searchable, answerable page (Integrations ▸ Files). Integrations

• The integrations you want wired up are now picked while creating the project, from the same catalogue the panel shows. Integrations

• Agent jobs now switch on from the card itself, and their settings are one short dialog: what you want done — with what to measure and what a good result looks like already drafted for you — an optional line of your own, and what sets it off: a schedule, or something that happens on your site, like a reader marking a page unhelpful. Agents

• An agent job can now report where you already work. Tick the Slack channel, Discord channel or webhook in its settings and every finished run arrives there, so nobody has to open the panel to find out whether the night's pass did anything. Agents

• Write your own agent. New agent in the Agent section gives it a name, an icon, a line about what it buys you and — the point — its own prompt, so the one job peculiar to your project stops being something you remember to do by hand. Agents

• Arm a job on a saved feed, so an agent runs when a class of log lines matches rather than only on a clock or one named event: save the filter in Logs, pick it under Runs, and nobody has to watch the stream. Agents

• A notifier now says what it sends, and lets an agent write it instead. Tick a job under Written by and your Slack or Discord channel gets the agent's own two sentences rather than a field dump nobody reads. Feeds

• Fixed: a job whose work runs in the background reported {"task_id":"…","status":"queued"} to your channel every morning while the write-up it produced minutes later went nowhere. The report now waits for the run and carries what the agent wrote, and the card stops showing the start of its last run forever. Agents

• Fixed: a Slack hook serving three feeds appeared three times in a job's destination picker with no way to tell which to tick. One destination is now one choice. Agents

• Ask the Docsbook agent to set all of this up. It can now see what your project runs, write a new agent with its own prompt and trigger, save a feed to arm it on, point its report at a channel, and hand you the one link that connects GitHub or Slack when the job needs an app you have not attached. MCP

• read_doc and get_doc_outline are public over MCP now, and Connect MCP is one item in every published page's Copy menu — so a reader's agent can open the exact page a search returned instead of guessing from its title. Docsbook's own manual is readable the same way. MCP

• A long, multi-topic question is now searched part by part and the results fused, instead of being averaged into one point that lands between all of them. MCP

• The Inbox is a conversation now. Every letter — a run that failed, an audit that came due, a question the agent wrote — has one reply box under it, and sending your answer puts the project's agent on the whole thread: it answers you in the same letter, and does the work when you ask it to, so deciding something no longer means leaving the mailbox to go and do it. Inbox

• Write a letter of your own from the Inbox: a subject, what you want done, and the agent picks it up there. The panel needed no second chat window for this. Inbox

• A thread you have already read comes back unread the moment the agent answers into it — and stays read when the turn was yours, so the mailbox never nags you about your own sentence. Archived letters and bringing one back still work as before. Inbox

• Letters are written in Markdown throughout, so headings, lists, links and code read the same whoever wrote them. Inbox

• The unread count in the sidebar is a plain number rather than a coloured pill — which also fixes it being invisible on projects with no accent colour set. Inbox

• Docsbook's own manual now lives at the address people type — docsbook.io serves it directly instead of bouncing to /docs, so a link you paste, a canonical URL and a result in search all point at the same page. A site Docsbook hosts for you moved with it, from docsbook.io/<project> to <project>.docsbook.io, and its old links redirect there; a site you publish from your own repository keeps the address it had. SEO

• The Change Log button and the per-section release-note pages it opened are both gone — this single page is now the whole changelog. Changes

• Fixed: the public MCP endpoint had been silently dropping three of its ten advertised tools; the support widget meant for us was leaking onto published docs. MCP

• Read-only tools on your MCP owner surface now have their own GET /api/v1/<tool> endpoint, and a narrow set of settings tools (branding, navigation, the chatbot, translation mode, mention tracking) their own POST — no MCP client, no wrapping args object. MCP

• Fixed: the tool catalog at docsbook.io/mcp had silently narrowed to 16 tools instead of the real ~162, and several tool pages documented a REST call that would 404; both now reflect what actually runs. MCP

• Every feed — built-in presets, your saved lists, New list — is now a tab right next to Chat and Feedback in Logs, with no separate Activity tab to open first. Feeds

• New AI crawler activity feed: every page an AI or search crawler fetched from your docs, each row priced at the real crawl rate rather than a generic per-visit figure — proof of what's actually paying for your citations. Feeds

• A Live toggle on the feed pauses its own re-polling, for reading a fast-moving feed without rows shifting under you. Feeds

• Opening Logs for a whole organization with no project picked now merges every project's feed into one list, labelled by project, instead of asking you to open one project at a time. Feeds

• Integrations' catalogue of 2,500+ apps now shows up as cards right in the grid instead of behind a search screen, and connecting one of them no longer fails at the authorization window. Integrations

• Fixed: connecting GitHub from Integrations could open a window with no app selected instead of GitHub's own install screen — it now always goes straight there. Integrations

• Fixed: a GitHub app you had already installed stayed invisible to the project, because GitHub only reports a first install and says nothing when you grant access a second time. I have finished now asks GitHub which installations are yours and attaches them, so granting access once is enough and nobody has to guess why the card still says not connected. Integrations

• A connector switched off for the whole deployment now names the piece that is missing, instead of reporting the app directory as the cause on a card that does not use it — so the person who can switch it on is told what to switch on. Integrations

• Fixed: opening an issue or pull request covered the whole panel, sidebar and header included, instead of just replacing the list you opened it from — it now swaps only that section's body, the same way an MCP tool's own page already does. Issues

• Integrations opens straight on Discover now, and the Skills tab is gone — one screen, no tab to pick between what's connected and what could be. Integrations

• Each project now wears its own icon in the panel's project switcher — in the list and on the open project alike — so telling six sites apart is a glance instead of a read. A project that has set no icon gets a folder. Panel

• The bottom of the sidebar names the organization you have open, not your own account, so the one label on screen agrees with the row ticked inside the menu. Panel

• An organization's dashboard keeps that same organization switcher at the bottom instead of turning into a static name, and its sidebar header now lists that organization's projects — so the panel answers "which project" and "which organization" in the same two places wherever you are. Panel

NEW - 18.09.2026#

• Issues and pull requests are now one list, filterable with GitHub's own syntax, each row carrying the outcome it claims to move and how much of that claim actually landed — plus a comment box that puts the assistant to work on the thread. Issues
• Documentation pages can now carry a status — draft → review → approved → locked — so an agent knows which pages are actually signed off before it builds on them; only a person, through set_doc_status, can approve or lock one. MCP
• Organizations: make a team in one click, invite someone once for access to every project in it, and buy a single plan for the whole team instead of per project. Organizations
• Integrations is now one grid of everything a project is wired to — 14 built-in connectors plus 2,500 more by search, several accounts per service, and 29 occasions that can wake an agent. Integrations
• Three new built-in feeds (Content gaps, Conversions, Plan & usage) and a Skills gallery for installing or writing your own agent playbooks. Feeds

NEW - 15.09.2026#

• AI and search crawlers now draw on a monthly crawl budget (a free allotment on every plan, then $0.30 per 1,000 pages) instead of being served for nothing, with usage shown in the panel and a usage.limit_approaching webhook to match. A reader an AI assistant sends you is never counted. Pricing
• Two new content blocks: callout for the one sentence a reader must not miss, and a code group that tabs one example per language instead of stacking four. Content
• A floating Ask Docs button, and a landing-page mode for your home page — hide the sidebar and outline and let the content run full width. Content
• docsbook_assistant (renamed from ask_docsbook) is now reachable over plain REST as well as MCP, and can also answer questions about Docsbook itself, not only your own docs. MCP
• The free trial no longer expires on a clock: a project runs on Pro until its AI wallet is actually spent, then pauses — with warnings at 50%, 75% and 90% — instead of quietly going dark. Pricing
• Enterprise now has a self-serve price, $100/month per repository, with the balance owned by the project rather than by one person. Pricing
• Fixed: connecting the MCP server for the first time led to a 404 instead of sign-in; SEO/GEO markup wasn't reaching two-thirds of projects because the switch that controlled it is gone — both are on by default now. MCP

NEW - 14.09.2026#

• SEO, GEO and AEO markup now ship on by default for every project — canonical URLs, sitemap, JSON-LD, a TL;DR, FAQ/HowTo markup — with nothing to switch on. SEO
• A new Agent activity view shows every call an agent has made, read as a conversation, with one-click scheduling from hourly to daily. Agents
• Audits became Opportunities: a flat, ranked list of searches you don't win yet, each with the competitor holding it today and what winning it would be worth. Overview
• Removed the Reminders tools and tab — a hypothesis already carries its own check-in date — and the now-redundant update_seo/update_geo/update_aeo tools. MCP

NEW - 13.09.2026#

• Translations moved off Docsbook's own AI budget by default: Docsbook watches for pages that fall behind and hands the actual translating to whatever you register over a translation.needed webhook. Translations
• A docs change can now carry a forecast (add_hypothesis) with a verdict recorded against it later, so "did that rewrite actually work" is answered by the record instead of by memory. MCP
• A pull request can be held for your decision when it touches a question you haven't answered yet, even on projects that publish automatically. MCP
• Goals, Questions, Memory and Reminders became one card with four tabs; Issues and Pull Requests became another. Overview

NEW - 12.09.2026#

• The MCP surface was rebuilt around one consulting agent — docsbook_expert, with a build partner docsbook_assistant — replacing 41 standing-agent routes and 135 narrow action tools. Ask it anything about your docs and it hands back the steps, the exact tool for each, and what would make the answer wrong. MCP
• Docsbook now remembers facts about your project between sessions (list_memory/add_memory), and keeps every past reading so a rewrite can be measured against a real baseline instead of a guess. MCP
• A project with no GitHub repository is no longer turned away — Docsbook can work from your website, a single page, or a couple of sentences about your product. MCP
• The Doc Graph now draws immediately from cache instead of waiting on a similarity query, and its Meaning edges are measured between pages rather than spent entirely on one long page's own headings. Doc Graph

NEW - 11.09.2026#

• Build a custom agent from your own allow-list of MCP tools and a plain-English prompt. MCP
• AI Mentions: ask Google's AI Overview, Google's results page and Bing whether they name your docs for the questions you care about, checked on a schedule instead of by hand. GEO
• The free trial gained its own $20 AI wallet, spent before anything you've paid for; a card added mid-trial is only charged once the trial would have ended. Pricing
• Fixed a week-long gap, from 4 September, where AI spend stopped reaching the usage ledger entirely. Feeds

NEW - 08.09.2026#

• Fixed: inviting a teammate to a project's AI chat was permanently failing with "temporarily unavailable." AI Chat

NEW - 05.09.2026#

• Billing is now a real invoice list — what's owed next, whether the current invoice is paid, every past charge as its own line — with five staged overage warnings (75/85/90/95%/cap) and matching webhooks. Pricing
• The Doc Graph gained read-depth coloring, a Dead ends overlay, and now shows the open pull requests and issues already touching a page you click. Doc Graph
• Every pull request now scores itself out of 100 — readers served, reach, cost to run, edit quality — with the movements behind it, so whether a merged change worked stops depending on somebody remembering to check. Changes
• Semantic search (search) is on every project now regardless of plan, so a question an assistant asks of your docs is answered instead of refused. MCP
• The docs were reorganized by capability — SEO, GEO, AEO, agent-ready content, chat, analytics, translations — each page stating how the feature is built and what isn't proven yet. Documentation
• Fixed: overage could be pushed past the $200 cap the pricing page promised; a project on a declined card kept accruing new overage instead of spending down its existing credit. Pricing

NEW - 04.09.2026#

• Two tools answer "have we already tried this" before an agent proposes anything (search_prior_work, get_pull_request), and fifty-four capabilities now run that check first. MCP
• AI usage markup cut from the provider's real price +900% to +70%, in the same dashboard breakdown. Billing
• Fixed: the AI-spend ledger had been under-reporting by 17%, because it read a balance from the row it had just rewritten instead of the one it started from. Billing
• Removed the Prompts section — a prompt you used to copy-paste into your own tool is now either a scheduled Agent or the one worked example already on a tool's own page. MCP

NEW - 03.09.2026#

• Every MCP tool now has its own page and address, with full call history — cost, latency, what went in and what came back. MCP
• Page feedback ("Was this page helpful?") now shows on mobile, where the old sidebar version never rendered. Page Feedback
• Security: list_workspaces/get_workspace and fifteen update_* tools stopped returning the raw project row, including a live API key and a 2.1MB semantic-index blob. MCP
• Fixed: a billing-rollover bug had zeroed 399 projects' carried balances while still showing the money as available; page titles and meta descriptions were being built from the wrong source. Billing

NEW - 02.09.2026#

• Issues: the GitHub issues on your repository, inside the admin panel, with a Start/Audit/Verify action per row and list_issues/get_issue/create_issue over MCP. Issues
• MCP agent pricing moved from a flat $0.25/call to per-tool pricing ($0.074–$0.245), cheap enough to call in a loop. MCP

NEW - 01.09.2026#

• Sources: what your docs are allowed to read from — GitHub, your website, Notion, Zendesk and two dozen more — connected by pasting an address, one row per connection. Sources

August 2026#

• Analytics was rebuilt around revenue: six headline figures (visitors, revenue, conversion rate, revenue per visitor, bounce rate, session time), and every breakdown — Pages, Referrers, Channels, Countries, Languages, Devices — rankable by Revenue as well as by Visitors, plus a live "Now" mode. Analytics
• Feeds became a real event and webhook system: saved lists, per-tool and per-event filtering, notifiers you attach to any list, a Usage breakdown of what AI and MCP spend actually went on, and CSV/JSON/NDJSON export. Feeds
• Every commit now scores itself out of 100 the day it lands — readers served, reach, cost, edit quality — with SEO position and before/after cost tracked alongside it. Changes
• Translations gained a page per language: coverage, staleness, cost, and a reader map by country; a push that changes a page now re-translates it automatically within your budget. Translations
• Contextual Improve/Analyze buttons landed across Analytics, Users, Chat and Changes, so any number on screen can hand itself to the assistant. AI Chat
• Every empty panel card now shows sample data with a guided "Turn on" walkthrough instead of a blank box. Panel
• Sign-up was rebuilt around instant drafts: paste a URL, a repository or a sentence and watch a real site build live, with its own admin panel before you have an account. Onboarding
• MCP calls became billed per call in the background against your project balance, with the whole catalogue browsable as one searchable, filterable table. MCP
• A public content-widget gallery, each block switchable off per project; the interactive API-reference widget now follows your brand's colors. Content Widgets

July 2026#

• Anonymous, no-account docs generation at docsbook.io/create — paste a URL, a repo or an idea and get a live draft with AI chat before signing up; signing in publishes it exactly as it stands. Onboarding
• Workspaces can be made private, behind a password or your own SSO (Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID, Okta). Privacy & Security
• Two new plans, Growth ($349) and Scale ($899), plus 20%-off annual billing on every paid plan. Pricing
• AI usage is billed in real dollars against a per-plan monthly budget, with metered overage instead of a hard stop when it runs out. Billing
• Analytics Explorer replaced the raw event feed: charts, click-to-filter facets, funnels, retention, and bot-traffic filtering — crawlers had been up to 93% of pageviews on some sites. Analytics
• Real Google Search Console rankings landed in SEO & GEO, with no OAuth needed on a *.docsbook.io subdomain. SEO
• The semantic doc index — meaning-based chat answers with page citations — shipped for Business-and-up plans. AI Chat
• Translation Activity: per-page, per-language coverage and staleness, with one-click re-translation of just what changed. Translations
• Multiplayer AI chat on Growth/Scale — a teammate sees the same answer stream in live, instead of a relay. AI Chat
• A public REST endpoint, POST /api/v1/chat, for calling a project's AI chat from your own backend. API

Launch — May–June 2026#
