# Hermes Agent v0.9.0: local web dashboard, Fast Mode, iMessage and WeChat

> Large release adding a browser-based management dashboard, a `/fast` priority-routing toggle for OpenAI and Anthropic models, iMessage (via BlueBubbles) and WeChat/WeCom adapters, Android/Termux support, and a broad security hardening pass. Relevant if you self-host Hermes on messaging platforms or run it on mobile.

- WeChat (iLink Bot API) plus a WeCom callback-mode adapter for self-built enterprise apps
- Termux/Android: adapted install paths, mobile TUI, voice backend, `/image`

- `hermes backup` / `hermes import` for config, sessions, skills, and memory
