What's new in Aroha

Protocol, SDK, and infrastructure release notes. System status →

v1.2.0

minor2026-06-20

CI hardening, conformance suite improvements, and npm publish reliability.

Fixed

  • —Made tampered-token credential test deterministic — previously had a 1-in-64 chance of being a no-op when the last base64url character was already the hardcoded replacement.
  • —Publish pipeline now publishes each npm package individually to survive rate limits, instead of publishing in parallel and silently dropping packages on 429s.
  • —Workflow dispatch on publish-npm is now restricted to main/tags only to prevent accidental re-runs from feature branches.

Changed

  • —SDK version badges on website updated to v1.2.0.
  • —Conformance suite restructured to catch timing-dependent test failures earlier in CI.

Added

  • —Google A2A bridge (@aroha-sdk/a2a-bridge) added to registry.
  • —BrandIcon + BrandBadge component system with official SVG paths for 15+ ecosystem partners.
  • —MCP logo uses official 3-stroke SVG path (Linux Foundation / Anthropic).

Fixed

  • —LangChain brand color corrected to #7FC8FF (was dark navy, invisible on white backgrounds).
  • —BrandBadge now applies correct bg tint for stroke-based (MCP) vs fill-based icons.
