Detailed Changes: v0.12.0...v0.12.1

v0.12.0

v0.12.0 (2025-04-06)

This release is published under the AGPL-3.0-or-later License.

This release fixes all reported bugs from the project issues and adds extra config options for

• updating permalinks when a file is moved (default False)
• syncing in real time when the mcp process starts (default True)

Note:

• The real time sync means that it is no longer necessary to run the basic-memory sync --watch process in a a terminal to sync changes to the db (so the AI can see them). This will be done automatically.

The config file for Basic Memory is in the home directory under .basic-memory/config.json.

To change the properties, set the following values:

 ~/.basic-memory/config.json 
{
  "sync_changes": true,
  "update_permalinks_on_move": true
}

Thanks for using Basic Memory!
