+## [3.77.0](https://github.com/metalbear-co/mirrord/tree/3.77.0) - 2023-12-07
+
+
+### Added
+
+- `mirrord verify-config` now outputs a list of available target types.
+  [#2096](https://github.com/metalbear-co/mirrord/issues/2096)
+
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Changed `operator` config to be optional. If the option is set to `true`,
+  mirrord always uses the operator and aborts in case of failure. If the option
+  is set to `false`, mirrord does not attempt to use the operator. If the
+  option is not set at all, mirrord attempts to use the operator, but does not
+  abort in case it could not be found.
+- Fixed config verification in IDE context when `copy_target` feature is used.
+
+
+### Internal
+
+- Reduce some code duplication around protocol and agent connection.
+
+
