Every change to HBForge, Kynetra Prime, and the Web7 protocol. Versioned, dated, and annotated.

Framework releases

v4.1.2 Current April 2026

Milestone: 50th module shipped. @hyperbridge/forge/evolve introduces the Self-Evolution Layer — enabling agents to learn from outcomes, mine behavioural patterns, propose new modules, and adapt to external protocol changes autonomously. Governed by RFC-0006.

  • New AgentLearner — per-agent outcome learning with .learn(), .reflect(), .getScore()
  • New PatternMiner — AIG graph mining for high/low-value behavioural patterns
  • New ModuleProposer — converts mined patterns into HBForge module stubs and RFC drafts
  • New ProtocolAdaptor — reads external OpenAPI specs and emits AMP skill bindings
  • New ConformanceEvolver — observes PoO results and generates new conformance test vectors
  • New EvolveRuntime singleton — orchestrates all 5 components, exposes .agent(), .mine(), .report()
  • New RFC-0006: Self-Evolution Protocol — normative spec for evolve module governance
  • Improved package.json exports map updated with ./evolve entry (ESM + CJS)

v4.1.1 April 2026

Patch: corrected module documentation — replaced 10 placeholder module entries (http, analytics, export, billing, workflow, rbac, config, telemetry, db, ui) with their real counterparts that ship in the framework.
