+## [v0.18.0](https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory/releases/tag/v0.18.0) — 2026-01-28
+
+**Focus:** Context-aware wiki link resolution, directory operations, and cloud routing improvements
+
+<Info>
+**Highlights:**
+- Context-aware wiki link resolution with `source_path` support
+- Directory support for move and delete operations
+- Local MCP cloud mode routing for simultaneous local/cloud usage
+- MCP prompt rendering fixes
+</Info>
+
+### Features
+
+- **Context-aware wiki link resolution** ([#527](https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory/pull/527))
+  - Add `source_path` parameter to `resolve_link()` for context-aware resolution
+  - Relative path resolution: `[[nested/note]]` from `folder/file.md` → `folder/nested/note.md`
+  - Proximity-based resolution for duplicate titles (prefers notes in same folder)
+  - Strict mode to disable fuzzy search fallback for wiki links
+
+- **Directory support for move and delete** ([#518](https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory/pull/518))
+  - Add `is_directory` parameter to `move_note` and `delete_note` MCP tools
+  - New `POST /move-directory` and `POST /delete-directory` API endpoints
+  - Rename `folder` → `directory` parameter across codebase for consistency
+
+- **Local MCP cloud mode routing** ([#522](https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory/pull/522))
+  - Add `--local` and `--cloud` CLI routing flags
+  - Local MCP server (`basic-memory mcp`) automatically uses local routing
+  - Enables simultaneous use of local Claude Desktop and cloud-based clients
+  - Environment variable `BASIC_MEMORY_FORCE_LOCAL=true` for global override
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- **Fix MCP prompt rendering errors** ([#524](https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory/pull/524))
+  - Fix "Error rendering prompt recent_activity" error
+  - Change `TimeFrame` to `str` in prompt type annotations for FastMCP compatibility

+## [v0.17.8-v0.17.9](https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory/releases/tag/v0.17.9) — 2026-01-24
+
+**Focus:** Cloud mode bug fixes and snapshot CLI commands
+
+### Features
+
+- **Cloud snapshot CLI commands** ([#476](https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory/pull/476))
+  - New `basic-memory cloud snapshot` commands: `create`, `list`, `delete`, `show`, `browse`
+  - Manage cloud backups directly from the command line
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- **Fix `get_default_project()` returning multiple results** ([#521](https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory/pull/521))
+  - Query incorrectly matched any project with non-NULL `is_default` (both True and False)
+  - Now correctly checks for `is_default=True` only
+
+- **Fix `remove_project()` checking stale config in cloud mode** ([#523](https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory/pull/523))
+  - In cloud mode, only check database `is_default` field (source of truth)
+  - Config file can become stale when users set default project via v2 API
+
+- **Read default project from database in cloud mode** ([#520](https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory/pull/520))
+

+## v0.18.0
+
+Basic Memory v0.18.0 introduces context-aware wiki link resolution, directory operations, and improved cloud routing.
+
+<Info>
+**Key improvements:**
+- Context-aware wiki link resolution with `source_path` support
+- Directory support for `move_note` and `delete_note` tools
+- Local MCP cloud mode routing for simultaneous local/cloud usage
+- MCP prompt rendering fixes
+</Info>
+
+### Context-Aware Wiki Link Resolution
+
+Wiki links now resolve intelligently based on where they appear in your knowledge base.
+
+**Relative path resolution:**
+When you write `[[nested/note]]` in a file at `folder/file.md`, Basic Memory first looks for `folder/nested/note.md` before searching globally.
+
+**Proximity-based resolution:**
+If you have notes with the same title in different folders, links resolve to the note closest to your current location. A link to `[[Meeting Notes]]` from `projects/alpha/tasks.md` prefers `projects/alpha/Meeting Notes.md` over `projects/beta/Meeting Notes.md`.
+
+**Strict mode:**
+The resolve endpoint now supports strict mode to disable fuzzy search fallback, ensuring exact matches only.
+
+### Directory Operations
+
+Move and delete entire folders of notes with database consistency:
+
+```python
+# Move all notes in a directory
+move_note("old-folder", "new-folder", is_directory=True)
+
+# Delete all notes in a directory
+delete_note("archive/old-project", is_directory=True)
+```
+
+### Local/Cloud Routing
+
+Use local Claude Desktop and cloud-based clients simultaneously:
+
+```bash
+# Force local routing (when cloud mode is enabled)
+basic-memory status --local
+basic-memory project list --local
+
+# Force cloud routing
+basic-memory status --cloud
+```
+
+The local MCP server (`basic-memory mcp`) automatically uses local routing, so you can run both without conflicts.
+
+See the [complete v0.18.0 changelog](/latest-releases) for full details.
