Releases

Current Release: v0.33.0

Released: 2026-05-21

What’s New

Added

• Configurable eval file naming — Projects can configure generated and discovered eval filenames through .waza.yaml files.evalFile, files.taskGlob, and files.taskFileSuffix.
• Instruction files in eval runs — Eval-level and task-level instruction files can be copied into isolated workspaces and injected into the Copilot system message.

Fixed

• Prompt graders use the execution engine — Judge turns now route through CopilotEngine, keeping grader execution aligned with engine configuration.
• Prompt grader follow-up recovery — Prompt grading preserves collected grades when a follow-up turn fails after successful grader collection.
• Bundled Copilot CLI updated — Embedded copilot-cli bundles are updated to 1.0.49.
• Spec-aligned skill scaffolding — waza new skill no longer asks for a nonstandard skill type or emits type: frontmatter.
• Improved discovery and routing checks — waza check discovers nested/separated evals consistently and compliance scoring detects routing markers in SKILL.md body sections.

Changed

• Copilot SDK v0.3.0 migration — Session events, transcript handling, logging, web API usage collection, suggestion traces, and tests now use the updated SDK API.

Quick Install

macOS / Linux

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/waza/main/install.sh | bash

On Windows, use this command only from Git Bash, MSYS2, or Cygwin. If PowerShell pipes to WSL’s bash.exe, the script installs the Linux binary inside WSL.

Windows (PowerShell)

Download waza-windows-amd64.exe or waza-windows-arm64.exe from the standalone waza release, rename it to waza.exe, and place it in a directory on your PATH.

Verify the installation:

waza --version
