Bibble v1.4.5 Release Notes

Released: August 29, 2025

🧹 Cleanup & JSON Parsing Fixes Release

Version 1.4.5 delivers critical stability improvements that eliminate frustrating JSON parsing errors and provide a much cleaner, more professional chat experience. This release focuses on reliability and user experience enhancements.

🎯 Key Highlights

✨ No More JSON Parsing Errors!

The most common source of tool call failures has been completely eliminated. Multi-tool calls now work flawlessly without concatenated JSON errors.

🧹 Clean Professional Interface

Debug clutter is gone! Chat sessions now show clean, professional output without development noise.

🔌 Better MCP Server Visibility

All MCP servers now consistently show their connection status at startup, so you always know what tools are available.

🔧 Critical Fixes

JSON Parsing Errors - RESOLVED 🛠️

  • Fixed: Tool call argument parsing errors caused by concatenated JSON objects
  • Problem: Multiple tool calls resulted in malformed JSON like {"path": "..."}{"content": "..."}
  • Solution: Implemented proper multi-tool call handling using Map-based tracking by tool call index
  • Impact: Tool calls now work reliably with multiple simultaneous operations

Debug Output Cleanup 🧽

  • Removed: All [CHAT DEBUG] messages cluttering the terminal
  • Removed: [DEBUG] tool argument parsing messages
  • Removed: Verbose tool call logging on every execution
  • Result: Chat interface now shows clean, professional output

MCP Server Connection Logging 🔌

  • Improved: Server connection status messages are now more accurate
  • Changed: From "running on stdio" to "connected successfully" for all transport types
  • Fixed: All MCP servers now consistently show their startup status
  • Benefit: Users can clearly see which tools are available at startup

⚡ Performance & Reliability

Enhanced Error Handling

  • JSON parsing now gracefully falls back to empty object {} on parse errors
  • Improved tool call processing efficiency with better error recovery
  • More robust handling of OpenAI streaming with multiple concurrent tool calls

Build System Improvements

  • Updated build configuration to include missing zod-to-json-schema external dependency
  • Resolved build stability issues for development and production environments

🎁 User Experience Improvements

Before v1.4.5:

[CHAT DEBUG] Processing tool call arguments: {...}
[DEBUG] Parsing tool arguments...
Error: Unexpected token '{' in JSON at position 25
Context7 Documentation MCP Server running on stdio

MCPollinations MCP server connected successfully

// Clean chat with no debug noise! ✨
