# Hermes Agent v0.22.5 rolls 81 pull requests into a stable patch

> Hermes Agent v0.22.5 is a stable patch that rolls up 81 pull requests, including sign-in, delegation, imports, and MCP serve.

Hermes Agent v0.22.5 is a patch release. The GitHub tag was published on October 23, 2026 at 05:28:45 UTC, while the notes label the release date October 22, 2026. It rolls up about 81 pull requests merged since v0.22.4 into a stable release for the GitHub release (CLI and installers), the Microsoft Store app, Docker, and Hermes Cloud. Full curated notes for this window ship with v0.23.0.

Measured at commit `bf0203a794a`, the window since v0.22.4 contains 231 non-merge commits across 804 changed files (+35,212 / -17,885), 81 merged pull requests, and 30 closed issues.

Those changes are listed and left undocumented on purpose. The tag names a Nous sign-in rework in which every sign-in is the plain device login, the free-tier guest hands over to your account, the result shows who signed in, and connectors offer sign-in instead of opening a guest. It also names `hermes update` holding back a stable release it refuses instead of offering it, and a Windows fix so `hermes update` is no longer stuck on the old launcher after a Python repin.

The same list covers usage-window plan support (plan gauges, limit cards, and model-switch recovery for window-based plans), pluggable delegation backends that route subagents by model map or profile and can be switched per session, plugin slash commands that can ask you to pick an option, `hermes import-agent`, OpenClaw migration, and `hermes mcp serve`. The Singularity backend moves out of core into plugins, and setup offers the importer when it finds another agent.

Desktop items on the list are drag-to-pin in the sidebar, one-click plugin installs with tier badges, an Electron 44 upgrade, and group chats showing which bot is working again. Also listed: Pillow 13 and a batch of dependency security bumps, a clear message when a chat's working folder is gone, `hermes update` recovering paused gateways after a damaged `.git`, long Claude DirectSDK answers no longer cut off by the stall timer, and an experimental webhook-mode MCP events client.

The notes say v0.23.0 will document everything from v0.22.0 onward, including highlights, feature areas, and complete contributor credits, and that nothing in this window is skipped.

The Microsoft Store app updates through the Store. A desktop app installed from the .exe or .dmg installer has no change in this release and updates with the next bundled release. CLI users run `hermes update`, or re-run the installer one-liner. Docker and Hermes Cloud use `nousresearch/hermes-agent:stable` (or `:latest`). The tag points to a full changelog comparing v0.22.4 and v0.22.5.

Read the v0.22.5 release page before you update, and match the command to your channel. Store, CLI, Docker, and Hermes Cloud can take this window now; installer-based desktop builds wait, and the curated notes wait for v0.23.0.
