# Changelog

Every month, we update this changelog with the major features and bug fixes that were shipped to our customer environments.

## March 2026

**New Features**

* **Contextual Responses**: Cleric now responds to thread replies without an explicit `@Cleric` mention when it's part of the conversation. Disable per thread with `@Cleric mute`.
* **Scheduled Follow-ups**: Schedule the agent to check back on an issue at a specific time. Results post to your Slack thread automatically. See [Common Use Cases](https://github.com/ClericHQ/cleric-core/blob/main/docs/public/investigation/common-use-cases/README.md#monitoring-production) for examples.
* **Stop Slack Command**: You can now type `@Cleric stop` to interrupt a running investigation from Slack.
* **MongoDB Atlas Integration**: Cleric can now query your MongoDB Atlas databases during investigations.
* **Splunk Integration**: Cleric can now search and analyze your Splunk logs during investigations.

**Bug Fixes**

* **Follow-up Quality**: Follow-up responses now require evidence-based reasoning before drawing conclusions, reducing unsupported answers.
* **Agent Recovery**: Fixed a bug where agents interrupted mid-investigation could not resume follow-up interactions.

## February 2026
