3.16.3 build 49

Squirro released a patch for 3.16.3 bi-weekly on July 13, 2026. To check your current build number, see Checking Build Numbers.

  • Fixed an issue where Nginx could fail to reload after upgrading to 3.16.3, preventing the Squirro web application from being accessible.

The patch is deployed through the standard update mechanism and maintains full compatibility with the initial 3.16.3 release.

Improvements#

AI#

  • Native support for Anthropic models in Squirro Chat, with a dedicated chat model configuration (model, API key, and optional base URL). Conversations can call the Anthropic API directly instead of only through AWS Bedrock.

  • Speech to Chat (microphone and speech-to-text) support in the embedded chat widget, configurable under App & Navbar settings → “Enable Speech to Text” → “Embedded Chat Widget”.

  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) aggregator server exposing tools from installed Studio plugins to MCP-compatible clients, with project-scoped access and permission checks.

Platform#

  • Edit and delete actions for widgets, themes, and dashboard loaders now visible to Cluster Users and Workspace Admins on workspaces-enabled instances.

Bug Fix#

  • Chat model creation failing with the Google provider under certain timeout configurations.
