🎉 Another big release from the 🐈 nanobot community — thanks to all contributors, especially our 18 new ones!

This release adds MCP tool server support, real-time progress streaming so users actually see what the agent is doing, and a wave of new providers (Custom OpenAI-compatible, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, SiliconFlow). Channels got a lot of love too — Telegram now handles media uploads and long messages, Slack got proper mrkdwn and thread replies, Feishu supports rich text. We also added Docker Compose for one-command deployment, scoped sessions to workspace, and switched to json_repair for bulletproof LLM response parsing. Less silence, more providers, better channels — that's the nanobot way.
