# Changelog
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
## [1.0.0] - 2026-01-19
### 🎉 First Stable Release
PageAgent is now ready for production use. The API is stable and breaking changes will follow semantic versioning.
### Features
#### Core
- **PageAgent** - Main entry class with built-in UI Panel
- **PageAgentCore** - Headless agent class for custom UI or programmatic use
- **DOM Analysis** - Text-based DOM extraction with high-intensity dehydration
- **LLM Support** - Works with OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, Qwen, and other OpenAI-compatible APIs
- **Tool System** - Built-in tools for click, input, scroll, select, and more
- **Custom Tools** - Extend agent capabilities with your own tools (experimental)
- **Lifecycle Hooks** - Hook into agent execution (experimental)
- **Instructions System** - System-level and page-level instructions to guide agent behavior
- **Data Masking** - Transform page content before sending to LLM
#### Page Controller
- **Element Interactions** - Click, input text, select options, scroll
- **Visual Mask** - Blocks user interaction during automation
- **DOM Tree Extraction** - Efficient page structure extraction for LLM consumption
#### UI
- **Interactive Panel** - Real-time task progress and agent thinking display
- **Ask User Tool** - Agent can ask users for clarification
- **i18n Support** - English and Chinese localization
### Configuration
```typescript
interface PageAgentConfig {
// LLM Configuration (required)
baseURL: string
apiKey: string
model: string
temperature?: number
maxRetries?: number
customFetch?: typeof fetch
// Agent Configuration
language?: 'en-US' | 'zh-CN'
maxSteps?: number // default: 20
customTools?: Record<string, PageAgentTool> // experimental
instructions?: InstructionsConfig
transformPageContent?: (content: string) => string | Promise<string>
experimentalScriptExecutionTool?: boolean // default: false
// Lifecycle Hooks (experimental)
onBeforeTask?: (agent, result) => void
onAfterTask?: (agent, result) => void
onBeforeStep?: (agent, stepCount) => void
onAfterStep?: (agent, history) => void
onDispose?: (agent, reason?) => void
// Page Controller Configuration
enableMask?: boolean // default: true
viewportExpansion?: number
interactiveBlacklist?: Element[]
interactiveWhitelist?: Element[]
}
```
### Packages
| Package | Description |
| ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `page-agent` | Main entry with UI Panel |
| `@page-agent/core` | Core agent logic without UI |
| `@page-agent/llms` | LLM client with retry logic |
| `@page-agent/page-controller` | DOM operations and visual feedback |
| `@page-agent/ui` | Panel and i18n |
### Known Limitations
- Single-page application only (cannot navigate across pages)
- No visual recognition (relies on DOM structure)
- Limited interaction support (no hover, drag-drop, canvas operations)
- See [Limitations](https://alibaba.github.io/page-agent/#/docs/introduction/limitations) for details
### Acknowledgments
This project builds upon the excellent work of [browser-use](https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use). DOM processing components and prompts are adapted from browser-use (MIT License).
