Goose released 1.58.0 on November 9, 2026 and the 1.58.1 patch a few hours later. Install 1.58.1: it fixes a compaction prompt that a Claude model refused and refreshes Databricks OAuth tokens before they expire.

See what is filling the context

A new context window report and viewer shows what a session is spending its context on. An opt-in context relevance operation is also available. Together they help when long sessions start compacting or losing track of earlier work. Manual compaction that fails over ACP now reports an error instead of looking successful.

More providers, fewer provider surprises

Lemonade, AIHubMix and RouterPlex join as providers. Several existing providers get fixes:

  • OpenRouter resolves suffixes like :free and :nitro to the base model and classifies context-length errors as overflow.
  • OpenAI Responses reasoning is replayed across tool turns.
  • Rate-limited requests honor Retry-After in more paths.
  • Bedrock routes bare OpenAI GPT IDs correctly and falls back when a model lacks document blocks.
  • LiteLLM vision support is read from /model/info.

Changes for integrators

Scheduled runs now use the recipe's own settings, which fixes jobs that ignored them. Internally, Agent and AgentManager are replaced by one state-machine service per process, and ACP client-delegated developer tools are removed. If you embed Goose through ACP and relied on those tools, test before upgrading. The computer controller no longer tells the model a screenshot tool exists.

The repository now lives under the aaif-goose organization on GitHub. We did not benchmark this release.
