+## [v1.30.0] - 2026-03-09
+
+This release introduces file drag-and-drop support, background agent tasks, and completes the transition from "cagent" to "docker-agent" branding throughout the codebase.
+
+## What's New
+
+- Adds file drag-and-drop support for images and PDFs with visual file type indicators and 5MB size limit per file
+- Adds background agent task tools (`run_background_agent`, `list_background_agents`, `view_background_agent`, `stop_background_agent`) for concurrent sub-agent dispatch
+- Adds `--sandbox` flag to run command for Docker sandbox isolation
+- Adds model_picker toolset for dynamic model switching between LLM models mid-conversation
+- Adds search, update, categories, and default path functionality to memory tool
+- Adds MiniMax as a built-in provider alias with `MINIMAX_API_KEY` support
+- Adds top-level `mcps` section for reusable MCP server definitions in agent configs
+- Adds support for OCI/catalog and URL references as sub-agents and handoffs
+
+## Improvements
+
+- Auto-continues max iterations in `--yolo` mode instead of prompting
+- Improves toolset error reporting to show specific toolset information
+- Improves user_prompt TUI dialog with title, free-form input, and navigation
+- Auto-pulls DMR models in non-interactive mode
+- Animates window title while working for tmux activity detection
+- Supports comma-separated string format for allowed-tools in skills
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixes thread blocking when attachment file is deleted
+- Fixes max iterations handling in JSON output mode
+- Fixes text to speech on macOS
+- Fixes context window overflow with auto-recovery and proactive compaction
+- Fixes data races in Session Messages slice and test functions
+- Fixes SSE streaming by disabling automatic gzip compression
+- Applies ModifiedInput from pre-tool hooks to tool call arguments
+
+## Technical Changes
+
+- Completes rename from "cagent" to "docker-agent" throughout codebase, documentation, and repository URLs
+- Supports both `DOCKER_AGENT_*` and legacy `CAGENT_*` environment variables
+- Removes `--exit-on-stdin-eof` flag and ConnectRPC code
+- Adds timeouts to shutdown contexts to prevent goroutine leaks
+- Extracts TodoStorage interface with in-memory implementation
+- Refactors listener lifecycle to return cleanup functions
+- Updates Dockerfile to use docker-agent binary with cagent as compatible symlink
