awp v0.5.0
Renamed
- holler is now awp, the reference implementation of the Agent Wire Protocol (AWP). The name is the whole change: the binary and every command (
awp up,awp send, …), the home directory (~/.awp,awp.db,awp.sock), the environment variables (AWP_*), the MCP server and its tools (awp_send, …), the plugin and skill (awp), the Go module path (github.com/agentwireprotocol/awp), the request MIME types (application/vnd.awp.exec+jsonand the others), the auth context string (awp-auth-v0), the Python peer (awp_peer.py) and the release artifacts (awp_<version>_<os>_<arch>.tar.gz,awp-plugin_<version>.tar.gz). The wire format,v: 0, is otherwise unchanged. - There is no compatibility with 0.4.0. A 0.4.0 peer and an awp peer cannot complete the auth handshake, since the context string changed. Reinstall, run
awp bootstrapagain (it does not migrate holler's entries;holler bootstrap --uninstall --allremoves them first), and keep an identity withmv ~/.holler ~/.awp && mv ~/.awp/holler.db ~/.awp/awp.db. - Draft 1 of the spec is now titled Agent Wire Protocol, with a new opening paragraph and a note on the old name. Its content is otherwise unchanged apart from the renamed strings.
