### ElevenCreative

- **Image, video and speech generation APIs**: New asynchronous Flows APIs create, list and retrieve video, image and speech generations. Generation responses expose `pending`, `generating`, `completed` and `failed` states, and requests can include a webhook target for completion events.
- **Reusable media assets**: New asset APIs upload, list, retrieve and delete workspace media. Image, video and audio references can use an uploaded asset, a previous generation or inline base64 data, allowing generation jobs to be chained. See [References and assets](/guides/elevenapi-guides-how-to-image-and-video-references).

### ElevenAgents

- **Lightweight conversation summaries**: [Get conversation summary](/guides/changelog-api-reference-conversations-get-summary) returns the generated title, transcript summary, call outcome and plain user or agent messages without loading the full transcript. The optional `max_messages` query parameter is an integer from 1 to 200 (default `40`); longer conversations set `messages_omitted` to `true`. Useful for agents that need to preserve context.
- **Conversation topic pagination and sorting**: [Get agent conversation topics](/guides/changelog-api-reference-conversations-topics-get) adds optional cursor pagination and sorting. Use `page_size` (integer, 1–100), `cursor` (string), `sort_by` (`conversations`, `sentiment` or `success_rate`) and `sort_direction` (`asc` or `desc`). Responses add `has_more` and nullable `next_cursor`.
- **Concurrency wait queues**: Agent platform settings add optional `queueing` (`AgentQueueingConfig`). Set `enabled` to `true` to hold callers when the agent reaches its concurrency limit; `wait_timeout_seconds` is an integer up to 1,800 (default `180`).
- **Turn and workflow controls**: Turn configuration adds `merge_with_default_ignore_terms` (boolean, default `false`) to combine custom interruption terms with curated defaults. Soft timeouts add `disable_until_first_user_message` (boolean, default `false`), and workflow tool locators add optional `schema_overrides` for per-node parameter overrides.
- **Background audio defaults**: `BackgroundSoundConfig.volume` now defaults to `0.15` instead of `0.6`, and `crossfade_loop` now defaults to `true` instead of `false`. Set these fields explicitly to retain the previous behavior.

### SDK Releases

#### JavaScript SDK

- [v2.64.0](https://github.com/elevenlabs/elevenlabs-js/releases/tag/v2.64.0) - Added `client.assets` for uploading, listing, retrieving and deleting assets, plus `client.flows` for asynchronous video, image and speech generation. Turn configuration adds `mergeWithDefaultIgnoreTerms`. Removed `CustomToolApiSchemaConfig` and `scimExternalId` from `WorkspaceGroupResponseModel`.

#### Python SDK

- [v2.64.0](https://github.com/elevenlabs/elevenlabs-python/releases/tag/v2.64.0) - Added assets and Flows clients for asynchronous video, image and speech generation, plus `merge_with_default_ignore_terms` in turn configuration. On-prem session setup adds `extra_setup_config` for passing additional setup-message fields.

#### Packages

- [@elevenlabs/client@1.18.0](https://github.com/elevenlabs/packages/releases/tag/%40elevenlabs%2Fclient%401.18.0), [@elevenlabs/react@1.12.1](https://github.com/elevenlabs/packages/releases/tag/%40elevenlabs%2Freact%401.12.1), [@elevenlabs/types@0.20.0](https://github.com/elevenlabs/packages/releases/tag/%40elevenlabs%2Ftypes%400.20.0), [@elevenlabs/react-native@1.2.19](https://github.com/elevenlabs/packages/releases/tag/%40elevenlabs%2Freact-native%401.2.19), [@elevenlabs/convai-widget-core@0.16.0](https://github.com/elevenlabs/packages/releases/tag/%40elevenlabs%2Fconvai-widget-core%400.16.0) and [@elevenlabs/convai-widget-embed@0.16.0](https://github.com/elevenlabs/packages/releases/tag/%40elevenlabs%2Fconvai-widget-embed%400.16.0) - Added experimental self-hosted orchestrator sessions and rich-content events. Scribe audio worklets can now be self-hosted for strict content security policies. Disconnect handling now reaches `disconnected` consistently and prevents late callbacks from clearing a newer session. The widget renders quick replies and links inline, restores Markdown in voice transcripts and fixes language menu positioning inside container-query layouts.
- [@elevenlabs/client@1.19.0](https://github.com/elevenlabs/packages/releases/tag/%40elevenlabs%2Fclient%401.19.0), [@elevenlabs/react@1.12.2](https://github.com/elevenlabs/packages/releases/tag/%40elevenlabs%2Freact%401.12.2), [@elevenlabs/types@0.21.0](https://github.com/elevenlabs/packages/releases/tag/%40elevenlabs%2Ftypes%400.21.0), [@elevenlabs/react-native@1.2.20](https://github.com/elevenlabs/packages/releases/tag/%40elevenlabs%2Freact-native%401.2.20) and [@elevenlabs/convai-widget-core@0.16.1](https://github.com/elevenlabs/packages/releases/tag/%40elevenlabs%2Fconvai-widget-core%400.16.1) - Added realtime Speech to Text options for secondary languages, entity detection and background audio filtering. Added final transcript, detected entity and invalid request events; aligned timestamp word types with the live schema; and fixed microphone permission failures preventing `useScribe` reconnection.
