v0.22.0

Web Search and Images

This release introduces two solid, completely different features. One is around web search and the other is around images. Let's get into it!

Quack, Quack

Crush can now search the web, courtesy DuckDuckGo 🦆. This is super cool, because you can just tell Crush what you’re looking for and it will reach for agentic fetch and get to work! Agentic fetch is especially good here because it hides the search-related context from the main model, reducing the context in the your main session and keeping the agent focused.

Here’s a detailed image what it looks like in action.

Tools and Images

Crush now supports tools and MCPs that return images, such as Playwright, everyone’s fave webdev tool. This opens up lots of web agentic coding possibilities. Why look at images when computers can do it for you!

Here's how it looks with Playwright

Gustave FTW

Also, many bug fixes were merged, many by a hot, new first time contributor @Gustave-241021! That you, Gustave for all the awesomeness! ✨

See ya next release! 💘

Verifying the artifacts

First, download the checksums.txt file and the checksums.txt.sigstore.json file files, for example, with wget:

wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.22.0/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.22.0/checksums.txt.sigstore.json'

Then, verify it using cosign:

cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/meta/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml@refs/heads/main' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --bundle 'checksums.txt.sigstore.json' \
  ./checksums.txt

If the output is Verified OK, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using sha256sum:

sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt

Done! You artifacts are now verified!
