// HOW THIS ISSUE IS MADE

We read every release from the 174 tools on our watchlist at the source — GitHub and GitLab release notes, vendor release pages and changelogs, project blogs and feeds, vendor press releases, and the source code behind the tag. Bug-fix-only releases and non-product newsroom noise are dropped; what's left is summarized down to the new capability, how to try it, and any screenshots or videos the release itself published. Every entry links to the sources it was built from.

LangChain

langchain==1.0.0a14 NOTES

LangChain v1.0.0a14 debuts a middleware-centric agent API with HITL, PII filtering, tool-call limits, context editing, and async support.

└──▷ GET THIS VERSION

$ git clone --branch langchain==1.0.0a14 https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain.git
# already have the repo? check out this version:
$ git checkout langchain==1.0.0a14

└──▷ USE IT

Cap the number of tool calls an agent can make per run to prevent runaway loops in production.

python

from langchain_v1 import create_agent, ToolCallLimitMiddleware

agent = create_agent(
    model,
    tools=[search, calculator],
    middleware=[ToolCallLimitMiddleware(max_tool_calls=5)],
)
result = await agent.ainvoke({"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Research and summarize the latest AI news"}]})

Strip PII from model inputs/outputs before they leave your environment.

python

from langchain_v1 import create_agent, PIIMiddleware

agent = create_agent(
    model,
    tools=[crm_lookup],
    middleware=[PIIMiddleware()],
)
result = await agent.ainvoke({"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Look up John Doe at [email protected]"}]})

›Adds wrap_tool_call middleware hook (with async implementation) to intercept and transform tool calls before execution.
›Adds wrap_model_call middleware hook to intercept and transform model requests.
›Adds before_agent and after_agent lifecycle hooks for agent execution.
›Adds RemoveMessage to the messages namespace for explicit message removal in agent state.
›Implements PIIMiddleware to detect and redact PII in model interactions.

+20 moreshow less

›Implements ToolCallLimitMiddleware to cap the number of tool calls an agent can make.
›Implements Context Editing Middleware for modifying the agent's context mid-run.
›Adds retry_model_request middleware hook and ModelFallbackMiddleware for automatic model fallback on failure.
›Adds LLM selection middleware to dynamically route requests to different models.
›Adds async support to create_agent for non-blocking agent execution.
›Adds create_agent (revamped from create_react_agent) with unified single-agent design and middleware support.
›Supports server-side tools representation in model request middleware.
›Adds dynamic system prompt middleware for per-request prompt customization.
›Adds dynamic prompt developer experience improvements for runtime prompt generation.
›Adds description generator for Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) middleware.
›Adds improved HITL patterns including a response action and decorator-based interrupt control.
›Adds todo middleware for deferred task tracking within agent workflows.
›Adds model call limits capability to cap total model invocations.
›Adds decorator pattern for dynamically generated middleware.
›Supports StructuredResponse as a key in output schema for middleware agents.
›Adds stuff and map_reduce chains to the v1 namespace.
›Supports PEP 604 (| union) syntax in tool node error handlers.
›Expands message exports from the messages namespace.
›Exposes rate_limiters from langchain_core in the v1 namespace.
›Exposes middleware decorators and selected messages at the top-level namespace.

└──▷ BREAKING ON UPGRADE

!Globals removed from the langchain-v1 package; globals remain only in langchain-classic and langchain-core.
!ToolNode removed from create_agent and the agents namespace in langchain-v1.
!Python 3.9 is no longer supported in the v1 package.
