# What's New in v3.0.0

> Condense v3.0.0 adds a new sign-up and sign-in experience, plans you can upgrade from the Console, Broker Registry, Vapr across the application lifecycle, the Condense CLI and MCP, and Autoscaling insights.

Condense v3.0.0 makes it easier to get started, to connect your own message brokers and to build with Vapr. This release adds a new sign-up and sign-in experience, plans that you can upgrade from inside the Console, Broker Registry, and Vapr across the whole application lifecycle. It also adds the Condense CLI and Condense MCP, Insights for Autoscaling, and fixes for alerts, applications and connectors.

The following sections summarize what changed in this release.

## A New Sign-Up and Sign-In Experience

You can now sign up with your email and a password, confirmed with a 6-digit code, or with your Google or Microsoft account. You give your organization's name, your role and the region for your first environment, and Condense sets up a Sandbox environment and opens your default workspace on the Applications page, with Vapr already open. Returning users sign in to a refreshed environments page, and anyone whose free trial has ended is taken to the Upgrade plan window instead of starting a new trial.

See [Sign up and sign in](https://docs.condense.io/condense/v3.0.0/condense-guide/condense-console/sign-up-and-sign-in.md) and [Invite Members](https://docs.condense.io/condense/v3.0.0/condense-guide/condense-console/invite-members.md).

## Plans and Upgrading

Every organization is now on a plan: Free, Hobby, Team or Enterprise. The plan chip in the top bar of the Console and Core shows where you are and opens the Upgrade plan window, which compares your plan with the ones above it. Organization Admins and Billing Admins select Talk to Sales to move up, and the Condense team completes the change with you. Other members see Contact Admin. When your plan changes, a welcome window shows what your organization can now use.

See [Plans and upgrading](https://docs.condense.io/condense/v3.0.0/plans-and-upgrading/overview.md).

## Broker Registry

Save your message broker connections once and reuse them. Broker Registry, under Settings in Condense Core, stores connections to the Embedded NATS JetStream Broker, Condense Kafka, Confluent Cloud, and your own NATS JetStream and Apache Kafka clusters. Give each connection an alias, an environment tag and a description, test it before you save it, and keep as many as you need. Each user has their own registry, so you see only your own connections.

Saved connections work where you build. Choose one, and a topic, when you deploy a connector, and use one in the Publish and Subscribe testers in the application editor.

See [Broker Registry](https://docs.condense.io/condense/v3.0.0/broker-registry/overview.md), [Deploy input / output connectors](https://docs.condense.io/condense/v3.0.0/deep-dive/connectors/deploy-input-output-connectors.md) and [Write code in the browser IDE](https://docs.condense.io/condense/v3.0.0/custom-application/write-code-in-the-browser-ide.md).

## Vapr Across Your Application's Lifecycle

Vapr now stays with an application from the first idea to a deployed, tested application. Describe what you want in plain language, and Vapr creates a draft application in its own dev container. The Coding Agent asks about the technology and the events, then writes and tests the code. The Pipeline Agent deploys it after you approve and collects the values it needs. The Testing Agent sends messages through the pipeline and checks the results, and monitoring stays available once the application is running. You approve each step.

Vapr opens by itself in a new workspace, and you can open it from the Ask Vapr icon on every page of Core.

See [Vapr across your application's lifecycle](https://docs.condense.io/condense/v3.0.0/vapr/overview.md) and [AI Agents](https://docs.condense.io/condense/v3.0.0/ai-agents/getting-started.md).

## Condense CLI

Run Condense from your terminal. The Condense CLI signs you in through your browser, and then lets you deploy connectors, watch them run, read their logs, and start, stop or delete them. Condense CLI is in beta.

See [Condense CLI](https://docs.condense.io/condense/v3.0.0/cli/overview.md).

## Condense MCP

Connect the AI tool you already use to your Condense environment and ask about your pipelines, connectors, logs and metrics in plain language. It works as you, so it can only do what you can do, and you choose which permission groups to allow. Condense MCP is in beta.

See [Condense MCP](https://docs.condense.io/condense/v3.0.0/mcp/overview.md).

## Autoscaling Insights

Condense adds and removes copies of your custom connector for you. Insights now tells you when the CPU and memory your connector reserves no longer fit what it uses, so you can stop paying for idle capacity and avoid out-of-memory restarts, and apply a better figure in one click.

See [Autoscaling](https://docs.condense.io/condense/v3.0.0/autoscaling/overview.md).

## More Reliable Alerts, Applications and Connectors

This release also fixes problems you may have run into:

* The Library page loads connectors again.
* Alerts are generated for connectors deployed from the Pipelines page.
* Turning alerts on or off for one connector no longer changes the other connectors in the environment.
* A TCP application no longer keeps the same port number when you clone its workspace.
* You can publish an application in a second SaaS environment.
* The Kafka Sink Connector deploys without asking for MongoDB credentials.
* The NATS MongoDB Sink Connector deploys when neither NATS nor MongoDB uses authentication.
