The Goose team released version 1.49.0, introducing several key features including an auto-updater for the desktop application and official Linux ARM64 release packages. The update also brings built-in web-search and browser-use skills, along with a model-native audio transcription provider.
- New declarative providers: Opper, TrustedRouter, OpenCode Zen, Gondola, SayGM, Lynkr, PleumRouter, and Z.ai GLM-5.3.
- Support for OpenAI GPT-5.6 via Bedrock and Databricks Unity Catalog model services discovery.
- CLI improvements such as loading extensions in the background and renaming extensions with `--with-extension`.
- Security fixes enforcing per-turn model tool allowlists, restricting code mode callback output, and binding ACP permissions to request generations.
These changes expand platform compatibility and provider options while enhancing security posture for Goose users.
