The previous roadmap's four priorities (transport evolution, agent communication, governance maturation, enterprise readiness) saw major changes land in the 2026-07-28 spec release, including removal of protocol-level sessions/handshake, a new server/discover call, cacheable list results, the Multi Round-Trip Requests pattern replacing server-initiated requests, a formal Contributor Ladder, and new authorization mechanisms like issuer-bound client credentials and Client ID Metadata Documents. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
