Major Features

• Integration with Observability Tools:
• Langfuse Integration: Span adapters for Langfuse client, including open telemetry and graph visualisation (KG-217, KG-223)
• W&B Weave Integration: Span adapters for W&B Weave open telemetry and observability (KG-217, KG-218)
• Ktor Integration: First-class Ktor support via the "Koog" Ktor plugin to register and run agents in Ktor applications (#422).
• iOS Target Support: Multiplatform expanded with native iOS targets, enabling agents to run on Apple platforms (#512).
• Upgraded Structured Output: Refactored structured output API to be more flexible and add built-in/native provider support for OpenAI and Google, reducing prompt boilerplate and improving validation (#443).
• GPT5 and Custom LLM Parameters Support: Now GPT5 is available together with custom additional LLM parameters for OpenAI-compatible clients (#631, [#517])
• Resilience and Retries:
• Retryable LLM Clients: Introduce retry logic for LLM clients with sensible defaults to reduce transient failures (#592)
• Retry Anything with LLM Feedback: Add a feedback mechanism to the retry component (subgraphWithRetry) to observe and tune behavior (#459).

Improvements

• OpenTelemetry and Observability:
• Finish reason and unified attributes for inference/tool/message spans and events; extract event body fields to attributes for better querying (KG-218).
• Mask sensitive data in events/attributes and introduce a “hidden-by-default” string type to keep secrets safe in logs (KG-259).
• Include all messages into the inference span and add an index for ChoiceEvent to simplify analysis (KG-172).
• Add tool arguments to gen_ai.choice and gen_ai.assistant.message events (#462).
• Allow setting a custom OpenTelemetry SDK instance in Koog (KG-169).
• LLM and Providers:
• Support Google’s “thinking” mode in generation config to improve reasoning quality (#414).
• Add responses API support for OpenAI (#645)
• AWS Bedrock: support Inference Profiles for simpler, consistent configuration (#506) and accept AWS_SESSION_TOKEN (#456).
• Add maxTokens as prompt parameters for finer control over generation length (#579).
• Add contextLength and maxOutputTokens to LLModel (#438, KG-134)
• Agent Engine:
• Add AIAgentPipeline interceptors to uniformly handle node errors; propagate NodeExecutionError across features (KG-170).
• Include finish node processing in the pipeline to ensure finalizers run reliably (#598).
• File Tools and RAG:
  • Reworked FileSystemProvider with API cleanups and better ergonomics; moved blocking/suspendable operations to Dispatchers.IO for improved performance and responsiveness (#557, “Move suspendable operations to Dispatchers.IO”).
  • Introduce filterByRoot helpers and allow custom path filters in FilteredFileSystemProvider for safer agent sandboxes (#494, #508).
  • Rename PathFilter to TraversalFilter and make its methods suspendable to support async checks.
  • Rename fromAbsoluteString to fromAbsolutePathString for clarity (#567).
  • Add ReadFileTool for reading local file contents where appropriate (#628).
• Update kotlin-mcp dependency to v0.6.0 (#523)

Bug Fixes

• Make parts field nullable in Google responses to handle missing content from Gemini models (#652).
• Fix enum parsing in MCP when type is not mentioned (#601, KG-49)
• Fix function calling for gemini-2.5-flash models to correctly route tool invocations (#586).
• Restore OpenAI responseFormat option support in requests (#643).
• Correct o4-mini vs gpt-4o-mini model mix-up in configuration (#573).
• Ensure event body for function calls is valid JSON for telemetry ingestion (KG-268).
• Fix duplicated tool names resolution in AIAgentSubgraphExt to prevent conflicts (#493).
• Fix Azure OpenAI client settings to generate valid endpoint URLs (#478).
• Restore llama3.2:latest as the default for LLAMA_3_2 to match the provider expectations (#522).
• Update missing Document capabilities for LLModel (#543)
• Fix Anthropic json schema validation error (#457)

Removals / Breaking Changes

• Remove Google Gemini 1.5 Flash/Pro variants from the catalog (KG-216, [#574]).
• Drop execute extensions for PromptExecutor in favor of the unified API (#591).
• File system API cleanup: removed deprecated FSProvider interfaces and methods; PathFilter renamed to TraversalFilter with suspendable operations; fromAbsoluteString renamed to fromAbsolutePathString.

Examples

• Add a web search agent (from Koog live stream 1) showcasing retrieval + summarization (#575).
• Add a trip planning agent example (from Koog live stream 2) demonstrating tools + planning + composite strategy (#595).
• Improve BestJokeAgent sample and fix NumberGuessingAgent example (#503, [#445]).
