Versions and changelog
Rendered from mandate/CHANGELOG.md in the Common Agent Standards repository, at commit ff0d572a.
Versions#
The specification is published one version at a time. This site carries version 0.4.1-draft, dated 2026-10-18, and the specification page names it at the top.
The source of every version is in the Common Agent Standards repository, where each version is tagged as mandate-v followed by the version. A tagged version is also kept at an address of its own: 0.4.1-draft. The main branch, which can be ahead of the published version, is rendered at agentmandate.net/draft/.
| Version | Date | What it changed |
|---|---|---|
| 0.4.1-draft | 2026-10-18 | Editorial, with no normative change |
| 0.4.0-draft | 2026-09-01 | The first version tagged in the Common Agent Standards repository, as mandate-v0.4.0-draft |
Versions 0.1.0-draft to 0.3.0-draft were written before the standard moved into the Common Agent Standards repository. The notes at the end of the specification say what 0.1.0-draft, 0.2.0-draft and 0.3.0-draft each changed.
Changelog#
The changelog is part of the standard's source and is reproduced here in full, newest first.
0.4.1-draft (2026-10-18)
Editorial, with no normative change. The specification names no platform: Agent Messaging is no longer given a former name, and "the mesh" reads "the network". The missing version note for 0.4.0-draft (2026-09-01), the check at a resource proxy of §7.1, is restored to the specification, and the date of 0.4.0-draft below is corrected to match it. No requirement, field, example, or section number changes.
0.4.0-draft (2026-09-01)
The first version tagged in the Common Agent Standards repository, as
mandate-v0.4.0-draft. The site of the standard showed 0.3 while the specification read 0.4.0-draft. The version here is the specification's, 0.4.0-draft.
