Score breakdown
The `v1.32.0` release expands goose's provider ecosystem, adds multi-modal input (voice dictation), and fixes stability issues like the TUI OOM loop and headless-mode session hangs that could disrupt automated agentic workflows.
- 01Exa AI-powered search tool added as a new feature
- 02`@agent` mention support introduced in chat
- 03Desktop notification fires when goose finishes a task
Goose `v1.32.0` delivers a broad set of new capabilities across its interfaces. The release introduces an Exa AI-powered search tool, `@agent` mention support in chat, a `/skills` command, a `/edit` command for on-demand prompt editing, desktop notifications when goose finishes a task, and the ability to associate threads with projects. The goose2 interface specifically gains voice dictation via the direct-ACP pattern, auto-compaction for context window UX, message bubbles with an action tray, context window usage display in the chat input, and chat attachments. Infrastructure additions include Unix domain socket transport for StreamableHttp MCP and Client ID Metadata Document (CIMD) support for OAuth.
A Cash App extension has also been added to the Extensions Library.
Two new AI providers join the roster: Novita AI as a declarative provider and Kimi Code with OAuth device flow authentication. A Cash App extension has also been added to the Extensions Library. On the tooling side, an extension management screen arrives in the TUI, alongside an extensions settings page and context panel widget.
The bug fix list is equally extensive. Notable fixes include stopping an idle 300ms re-render loop that could OOM the TUI, eliminating an approximately 5-second delay when opening the Switch Models panel with a local provider, caching TLS certificates to disk to avoid slow startup on first launch, preventing session hangs when tool approval is required in headless mode, and adding `strict:false` for Responses API tools.
