Full Changelog: v0.15.0...v0.16.0

v0.15.0

Changed

• Removed LINKEDIN_MCP_LIVE_ENABLED; the LinkedIn runtime is now available on normal server startup.
• Browser setup and authentication now follow BROWSER_AUTO_INSTALL and AUTO_LOGIN_ON_START directly.
• Capability access remains restricted by registered typed tools, allowed surfaces, scopes, effects, authentication guards, pacing, and confirmation-protected writes.
• Removed the obsolete option from CLI status, MCPB and Official Registry metadata, configuration examples, and public documentation.

Verification

• 436 offline tests on Python 3.12 and 3.13
• Ruff formatting and lint checks
• Strict Pyright type checking
• CodeQL analysis
• Wheel, source distribution, MCPB, and Official MCP Registry validation

v0.14.2

Privacy-compliant desktop distribution

• Adds a complete local data-processing, sharing, retention, deletion, and contact policy.
• Advertises the project and LinkedIn privacy policies in the MCPB manifest.
• Exposes the project privacy policy in PyPI metadata and bundles it in the desktop extension.

All 438 offline tests pass on Python 3.12 and 3.13. The release workflows will attach checksummed, attested Python and MCPB artifacts, publish PyPI and multi-architecture GHCR packages, and publish Official MCP Registry metadata.

v0.14.1

Corrected public release.

• Advertises v0.14.1 in the MCP initialize response.
• Publishes the GHCR image for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64.
• Produces a byte-reproducible MCPB desktop bundle from tracked source.
