We’re pleased to announce the release of mcp-acronym-lookup v0.3.0, published on February 9, 2026. This maintenance release focuses on improving version detection reliability for developers who install the tool via go install.

What’s New

Better Version Reporting

The headline improvement in v0.3.0 is enhanced version detection. Previously, when installing mcp-acronym-lookup via go install or building without explicit version flags, the application would report “dev” as its version regardless of the actual release. Now, the tool intelligently falls back to reading version information from Go’s embedded build data, ensuring you always know which version you’re running.

Dependency Updates

This release includes routine updates to keep the project current:

  • Go runtime updated from 1.25.4 to 1.25.7
  • mcp-go library updated from v0.43.1 to v0.43.2

Why It Matters

Accurate version reporting is essential for troubleshooting and maintaining confidence in your toolchain. When you run mcp-acronym-lookup --version or check the application logs, you now get reliable information about exactly which release you’re using—critical when debugging issues or verifying that you’ve successfully upgraded to the latest version.

For teams deploying across multiple environments, this fix ensures consistency in version identification whether you’re using pre-compiled binaries or building from source.

As with all releases, v0.3.0 maintains full backward compatibility. There are no breaking changes, configuration migrations, or changes to how you define acronym glossaries in your CSV files.

Upgrade Guide

Upgrading to v0.3.0 is straightforward:

Pre-compiled binaries: Download the appropriate archive for your platform (macOS amd64/arm64, Linux 386/amd64/arm64, or Windows 386/amd64) from the v0.3.0 release page and replace your existing binary.

Go installation: Run:

go install github.com/UnitVectorY-Labs/mcp-acronym-lookup@v0.3.0

No configuration changes are required—your existing CSV glossary files and environment variable settings continue to work as before.
