API Breaking Changes
Removal of Agent Identifier
This release simplifies management of Agents and various Agent-related APIs by removing the Agent Identifier field.
This breaking change requires all existing Agents to be updated. See the October migration guide for instructions on how to upgrade your Agents.
Change Log
Istari Platform
New Features
Remote Artifact Sharing
This release expands remote sharing capabilities to include sharing of artifacts with downstream users. When upstream users share models that contain artifacts, the artifacts are automatically shared as well. Upstream users can also share individual artifacts without sharing their parent models.
Important Note: Remotely shared artifacts are unlinked from their parent models for downstream users for now. Downstream users can find these artifacts under "Artifacts shared with me."
Conecting Files via Metadata
- You can now connect files using metadata — even without direct file URLs.
If you have metadata from an external data host (e.g., 3DX), simply provide that metadata and the platform will automatically connect the corresponding file.
Agent
Removal of Agent Identifier
The agent_identifier field has been removed to simplify Agent configuration and management. See the October migration guide here for guidance on adapting to this change.
Improved handling of modules that support module configurations
The Agent detects when modules require module configuration more robustly and only provides module configuration information when needed.
Improved selection of function variants within a module
The Agent now supports modules that define variants of the same function on files with different extensions. This allows module authors to provide multiple definitions of the same function for input files of different types, allowing for custom handling on a file type within a function.
Improved robustness to network errors
The Agent is more robust to transient network errors that would previously have interfered with job execution.
CLI
Automated PATH Management
stari path --help
- Intelligent PATH detection: New
stari path checkcommand to verify if the CLI is available on your system PATH - Automated installation:
stari path addcommand automatically detects your system and adds the CLI to PATH with proper shell configuration - Version management: Smart detection of existing CLI versions with prompts for updates when different versions are detected
- Cross-platform support: Unified PATH management across macOS, Linux, and Windows with platform-specific optimizations
- User vs system installation: Choose between user directory installation (no sudo required) or system-wide installation
Agent Installation and Management
stari agent --help
- Automated agent installation: New
stari agent installcommand supports installation from both Artifactory repositories and local installer files - Smart OS detection: Automatically detects your operating system and architecture to download the appropriate installer package
- Version control: Install specific agent versions or automatically select the latest available version
- Configuration management:
stari agent initcommand provides interactive setup for agent configuration with proper credential handling - Override protection: Smart logic to detect existing installations and prompt for confirmation before overriding
Enhanced Artifactory Integration
stari client setup-artifactory --help
- Streamlined Artifactory configuration: New
stari client setup-artifactorycommand for setting up Artifactory credentials and base URL - Flexible repository targeting: Repository names are now specified at runtime rather than stored in configuration, allowing for greater flexibility when targeting different repositories for agents and modules
- Interactive and automated setup: Support for both interactive confirmation and automated setup with
--yesflag - Secure credential handling: Better handling of authentication tokens and credentials across all Artifactory operations
- Runtime repository specification: Repository names are specified at command execution time (e.g.,
stari agent install --repository <repo-name>) rather than being stored in configuration files
Integrations
We’ve rolled out several module updates focused on improving reliability, expanding integrations, and addressing security dependencies across our platform.
Model-Based Engineering
- Cameo Module — Improved requirements extraction and tagging behavior, now using input filenames for generated outputs.
- CATIA Module — Bundled geometry toolkit for simplified deployment and improved parameter update workflows.
- Creo Module — Added bundled geometry toolkit and refined parameter file handling for smoother automation.
Security & Dependency Updates
- Open Excel, Open PDF, and Word — Updated dependencies and addressed security vulnerabilities.
New Integrations
- Open CAD — New integration for working with open CAD formats such as FreeCAD; extract geometry and metadata without requiring a commercial license.
- Microsoft Office 365 — Expanded support now includes Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
- Google Workspace — Added modules for extracting content from Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
- Jira — New integration to extract issue content, comments, images, and attachments directly from Jira.
- Open SysML — Added support for working with SysML and ReqIF requirement files.
- Open Text — New module for extracting and manipulating structured and unstructured text data across formats (CSV, JSON, TXT, DOCX, TSV, and more).
Model Context Protocol (MCP) Service
- Frontend Hyperlinks: The MCP Service will now return links to the Frontend for Models, Artifacts and Systems
- Generic Function Execution: The MCP Service can now run any function defined in the user's environment
- MCP Service Version: A route (/version) has been added to the MCP Service that will return the version of the service that is currently deployed
