Highlights

Protocol integrity. The server no longer writes to stdout, which on the default stdio transport is the JSON-RPC channel. Tree traversal was printing every word of every editable control it encountered, interleaving plain text into the framing the client parses (#359).

Reliability under load. Snapshot and WaitFor tree capture is now size-bounded to prevent hangs and oversized output (#353), the UIA watchdog self-heals after repeated COM failures (#334), and a corrupted comtypes.gen cache from concurrent generation is now handled (#358).

Multi-monitor. Display captures are aligned correctly, annotated captures stay within screenshot bounds, and a structured per-monitor display inventory was added (#303, [#329]).

Added

  • Structured per-monitor display inventory by @zengfanfan in [#329]
  • Explicit-start drag support for Move by @zengfanfan in [#328]
  • WINDOWS_MCP_WATCHDOG switch to disable the UIA watchdog by @mvanhorn in [#333]
  • Strict executable launch by @zengfanfan in [#335]

Fixed

  • Stop writing to stdout, which carries the stdio JSON-RPC protocol by @Jeomon in [#359]
  • Corrupted comtypes.gen cache from concurrent generation by @pranco388 in [#358]
  • Report missing startup dependencies instead of exiting with a bare traceback by @dgonick in [#355]
  • Bound Snapshot/WaitFor tree capture size to prevent hangs and oversized output by @Veloflott in [#353]
  • Self-healing UIA watchdog reconnect on repeated COM failures by @Jeomon in [#334]
  • Multi-monitor snapshot annotations by @sposer and @ackinul in [#303]
  • Raise on failure so isError=true on the MCP wire by @sanjibani in [#300]
  • Retry get_active_window on transient empty UIA results by @Austin519 in [#294]
  • Paste long text via clipboard to avoid SendKeys scan-code race by @Austin519 in [#293]
  • Guard auth banner against non-UTF-8 stdout by @Austin519 in [#292]
  • Reject invalid input boolean values by @zengfanfan in [#330]
  • Reject invalid WaitFor timing values by @zengfanfan in [#336]

Tests & CI

  • Unit test workflow for pull requests by @JezaChen in [#343]
  • Repair broken isError-compliance regression test by @JezaChen in [#341]

Docs

  • Add Autohand Code MCP setup by @igorcosta in [#325]

Maintenance

  • Dependency updates by @temotskipa in [#307], [#311], [#337]
  • Packaging metadata resynced: manifest.json and server.json's package entry had drifted two releases behind pyproject.toml
  • Routine automated dependency bumps
