Releases: ProwlrBot/roar-protocol
v0.3.2 — RedisTokenStore, AgentCard attestation
What's new
Both SDKs:
- RedisTokenStore — atomic multi-worker token store (Redis INCR)
- AgentCard signed attestation (
signAgentCard/verifyAgentCard) — mitigates hub discovery poisoning
Python: 76/76 tests passing · pip install roar-sdk==0.3.2
TypeScript: 30/30 golden + 10 unit tests · npm install @roar-protocol/sdk@0.3.2
Bug fixes
- Added
base58>=1.0to core deps (was missing, brokedid:keyresolution on clean installs)
ROAR Protocol SDK v0.3.1
Added StrictMessageVerifier to both SDKs — production-grade receiver with scheme allowlist, recipient DID
binding, directional timestamp checks (age + future skew), and replay detection via IdempotencyGuard.
ROAR Protocol SDK v0.3.0
Changelog
All notable changes to the ROAR Protocol specification and reference SDKs are documented here.
Format: [version] — date — description
[Python SDK 0.3.0] — 2026-03-16
Security (audit fixes)
- Enforce
DelegationToken.max_usesserver-side — tokens with exhausted use counts are now rejected at the server layer, not just flagged byis_valid() - Timestamp replay window enforced strictly: messages older than 300 seconds are rejected
- Empty
auth: {}field now causes the server to return 403 rather than silently passing
Changed
__version__aligned to0.3.0to matchpyproject.toml- Added
py.typedmarker (PEP 561) so mypy and pyright recognise inline type annotations
[TypeScript SDK 0.3.0] — 2026-03-16
Security (audit fixes, aligned with Python SDK 0.3.0)
verifyMessagenow enforces the 300-second replay window- Package version bumped from
1.0.0to0.3.0to match spec maturity and Python SDK
Changed
- Import paths in examples changed from repo-relative paths to

ROAR Protocol SDK v0.2.2
Full Changelog: v0.2.1...v0.2.2
ROAR Protocol SDK v0.2.2
Real-time Open Agent Runtime — first stable release.
What's in the box
TypeScript SDK (@roar-protocol/sdk)
Zero external dependencies. Node.js 18+. 30/30 conformance.
Layer 1 — Identity
- Ed25519 key generation and signing
did:roar,did:key,did:webDID methods- W3C DID Documents
- Cryptographic delegation tokens with TTL + autonomy levels
WATCH → GUIDE → DELEGATE → AUTONOMOUScapability model
Layer 2 — Discovery
- In-memory
AgentDirectory - SQLite-backed persistent directory (
node:sqlite, zero deps) - TTL+LRU
DiscoveryCache
Layer 3 — Connect
- HTTP transport (
ROARClient,ROARServer) - Native WebSocket (RFC 6455, no ws library)
- Server-Sent Events
- stdio transport for CLI agents
Layer 4 — Exchange
- 7 message intents:
execute,delegate,update,ask,respond,notify,discover - HMAC-SHA256 signing — byte-for-byte compatible with the Python SDK
- Protocol auto-detection: ROAR / MCP / A2A / ACP
Layer 5 — Stream
EventBuswith AIMD backpressure- Replay-safe
IdempotencyGuard
Python SDK
30/30 conformance. Feature-complete across all 5 layers, including ROARHub with federation.
Security
Full security audit completed. All Critical/High/Medium findings resolved.
timingSafeEqualthroughout — no timing oracles- 1 MiB caps on all network inputs
- Path canonicalization on SQLite directory
trustProxyflag for X-Forwarded-For (off by default)
CI
GitHub Actions runs typecheck + 30-check conformance suite on every PR.
Install
npm install @roar-protocol/sdk

## Your Manual Steps
**1. npm publish** — run this from your terminal:
```bash
cd /home/anon/dev/roar-protocol/ts
npm run build
npm publish --provenance --access public
(Requires npm login + 2FA. --provenance ties the package to the GitHub Actions run — supply chain proof.)
2. GitHub Release — go to github.com/ProwlrBot/roar-protocol/releases/new, tag v1.0.0, paste the release notes above.
3. Tweet copy (I'll draft one):
Just shipped ROAR Protocol SDK v0.2.1 🎉
Real-time Open Agent Runtime — a 5-layer protocol for agents that discover each other, sign messages, delegate capabilities, and
stream events.
• Zero external deps (Node 18+ built-ins only)
• 30/30 conformance, security audited
• TypeScript + Python, cross-language signatures
• did:key, did:web, W3C DID Documents
npm install @roar-protocol/sdk
github.com/ProwlrBot/roar-protocol
---
v0.2.0 roadmap (for after launch):
- WebCrypto async signing (crypto.subtle) — makes the TS SDK browser/Deno/Worker native
- Python DelegationToken server-side use-count enforcement
- ROARHub federation in TypeScriptv0.2.1
Fix: DelegationToken use_count now enforced server-side. Add: TypeScript WebSocket
transport.
ROAR Protocol v0.2.0 — First Public Release
Both SDKs live: pip install roar-sdk | npm install @roar-protocol/sdk
5-layer agent protocol: Identity, Discovery, Connect, Exchange, Stream.
MCP + A2A + ACP adapters. Ed25519 + HMAC signing. 30/30 conformance.
