Changelog

What shipped, newest first. Releases reach npm and dl.buildhound.sh; this page says what they changed.

17 October 2026: the code on your machine is public#

The CLI, the MCP server, the rules and cost model behind the CI report, and these docs now live in a public repository, buildhound-hq/buildhound, under the MIT licence, with the history of each part. It mirrors our monorepo on every change; issues are welcome there.

17 October 2026: the routing pull request from one command#

CLI 0.1.5 and MCP 0.1.4. npx buildhound route --apply --repo owner/name shows the pull request it would open and, once you agree, opens one from the branch buildhound/route: every job a connected machine can run moves to the routing expression, with GitHub-hosted as the fallback, and jobs that use secrets wait for a Trusted machine. The body carries the measured speed-up, the monthly saving with its calculation, and how to stay. The MCP tool route_apply is the same operation, and the setup prompt uses it.

16 October 2026: check a machine first, switch billing period#

CLI 0.1.4 and MCP 0.1.3. npx buildhound runner add --org owner --check reads a machine and says what to fix before anything is written. buildhound billing period, and the dashboard's Plan card, switch a subscription between annual and monthly at its next renewal, charging nothing now. The dashboard also gained one banner for a failed payment or a plan that is ending, and its pages fold into phone layouts.

16 October 2026: package caches for Linux jobs#

Agent 0.1.29 keeps a package cache per repository for Linux jobs on a Mac: npm, pnpm, Yarn, Bun, Corepack, pip, Go and Playwright. Measured on our Mac mini, a warm pnpm install took 3.1 s against 5.4 s without the cache. Each repository has its own cache, and credential files are removed after every job. Details on Machines.

16 October 2026: the macOS image builds inside the product, fixes as pull requests#

CLI 0.1.3 and MCP 0.1.2. npx buildhound image build builds the macOS image on a Mac in the background, with one password step, and macOS jobs switch over when it is ready (The macOS image). npx buildhound scan --fix opens the CI report's fixes as pull requests, one per rule, after you agree.

16 October 2026: comparisons with dated prices#

Compare sets Buildhound beside GitHub-hosted and twelve runner vendors, with each vendor's list price, the day it was checked, what a month of CI costs at three volumes, and the stay option. The same pages are served as markdown for assistants.

15 October 2026: the docs#

These pages: set up with your coding agent or by hand, workflows, machines, failover, the CLI and MCP references, security, plans and billing. Every page has a markdown twin at the same address with .md, listed in llms.txt.
