Version 1.6.0 strengthens enterprise governance, extends scheduled automation, and improves operational control across STAIR environments.

Released October 14, 2026.

## Security and Governance

- **User-based integration access:** MCP integrations support authorization on behalf of the current user, enabling connected systems to enforce individual access rights.
- **Workflow classification:** Enterprise classification extends to workflows. STAIR shows classified-item counts and warns about affected resources when classifications are renamed, merged, or deleted.
- **Execution history retention:** Configurable retention periods determine how long workflow execution history is stored, with automatic removal of older records.

## Agents and Automation

- **Agent scheduling:** Scheduled execution extends from workflows to agents, with controls for managing schedule access.
- **Model context management:** Model-aware summarization and configurable agent capabilities improve support for language models with smaller context windows.

## Platform Administration

- **Environment portability:** A unified export and import wizard supports configuration transfers, dependency handling, and access-control mapping.
- **Execution visibility:** Execution logs can be viewed and filtered directly in STAIR.
- **Licensing:** Licensing options extend to users and concurrent execution sessions.
- **Localization:** German language support is available.
