# v2026.8.7

> Bug fixes, updated packages, and three new example agents

## Small fixes, fresh examples

A quiet release with no breaking changes. Some old bugs got squashed, a few key packages were updated, and the community contributed three new example agents to learn from.

***

## Bugs that got fixed

**Schema names no longer get too long.** Postgres only allows schema names up to 63 characters. Long DIDs were sometimes bumping into that limit, causing weird failures. Now we trim the name to fit, cleanly.

**Type-checker quiet again.** A couple of spots were tripping up the type checker — notably `sys.stdout.reconfigure`. All fixed.

**`task_manager.py` is steadier.** Better error handling and a few more edge cases are covered. Less likely to crash on unusual input.

**Packages updated.** These are internal libraries Bindu depends on:

| Package    | Old    | New    |
| ---------- | ------ | ------ |
| pydantic   | 2.11.3 | 2.12.5 |
| requests   | 2.32.3 | 2.32.5 |
| sqlalchemy | 2.0.44 | 2.0.46 |
| tenacity   | 8.5.0  | 9.1.4  |
| rich       | 13.9.4 | 14.3.2 |

The pydantic bump fixes a clash with `fastmcp`. The requests bump fixes a clash with `langchain-community`. Nothing you'll notice in day-to-day use — just healthier internals.

## What's new

### Three example agents from the community

If you're learning Bindu, examples are the fastest way in. Three new ones shipped:

* **Paywall Agent** — shows how to charge money for responses using x402 payments. A great intro to monetizing an agent.
* **News Summarizer** — runs on local [Ollama](https://ollama.com) and uses DuckDuckGo to pull news. No cloud APIs, no sending data out.
* **Cybersecurity Newsletter** — an agent that writes security hardening tips.

### Clearer error when you forget `author`

Every agent config needs an `author` field. If you left it out, Bindu used to fail deep inside the startup process with a confusing error. Now it checks up front and tells you exactly what's missing.

### Light-touch notification metrics

`NotificationService` now keeps a small counter in memory of how many notifications it has delivered. The `/health` endpoint shows a bit more about what's going on too.

***

## Migration

If you pin your dependencies exactly (as this project does), run `uv sync` to pick up the updates. Then check your agent config has an `author` field.
