Hermes-Relay Plugin v1.13.0

Hermes-Relay Plugin v1.13.0

Release Date: October 7, 2026

Summary

Dashboard pairing provides separate Android and CLI+UI choices, clearer connection addresses, and more reliable QR invites.

Added

• CLI+UI pairing invites include route candidates and Secure Link certificate trust.

Fixed

• Connection guidance shows protocols and ports, includes direct Tailscale Relay routes, and avoids assuming a public Relay listener from a Dashboard address.
• Expired and oversized invites show actionable errors. QR codes remain fully visible, and setup distinguishes Plugin activation from discovery.

Compatibility

Full-invite CLI import requires a compatible CLI build newer than the currently published 0.4.0-beta.8. This Plugin release does not publish that companion. Existing Android pairing and legacy CLI connection settings remain supported.

Install / update

# Native upstream plugin path:
hermes plugins install Codename-11/hermes-relay/plugin --enable

# Classic install / update on a systemd host:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Codename-11/hermes-relay/server-v1.13.0/install.sh | bash
# or, if already installed:
hermes-relay-update

Restart or reload the Hermes Dashboard and Relay after updating so the new manifest and provider context are active.

Verify

hermes relay doctor
python scripts/check-plugin-version-sync.py --expect 1.13.0
