Release Notes

Changes since v0.8.3.

Features

• Add --dry-run to revision commit and lock acquire/release
• Run incremental store GC by default; replace --gc with --no-gc to disable
• Expose the mutable store through the low-level storage C API
• Add ForwardedRevisionService gRPC endpoint to forward BranchCreate to a remote server
• Carry structured error detail and FFI codes on the Complete event
• Show staged renames as moves in diff output
• lore status prints paths relative to the current working directory

Fixes & Improvements

• Fix use-after-free in write_fragmented when the chunker future is cancelled
• Fix LoreArray<T> dealloc layout mismatch in Drop
• Fix commit --stats panic and report real fragment stats
• Fix link contents surfacing as parent adds in file diff
• Fix clone not materializing view-filtered directories with all-excluded children
• Reject malformed metadata set args instead of panicking; default branch metadata to current branch
• Reset staged add/remove/update for link nodes
• Propagate dirty to committed ancestor directories on dirty add
• Make dirty add idempotent so a repeat dirty doesn't duplicate the node
• Stage empty dirty-added directories by their own path
• Honor --dry-run on branch push
• Rename [server.replication] config to [server.grpc_internal] (not backwards-compatible)
• Map GRPC storage errors correctly and stop classifying Unknown/EOF errors as server errors
• Handle thin-client RevisionDiff/RevisionTree RPCs with a zeroed revision
• Tag linked-repo RevisionDiff changes with an indexed partition table
• Standardise HTTP tracing and log levels
• Seed QUIC clients with an initial CWND on regeneration
• Remove redundant dry_run field from lock events
• Rename shared store config file to shared_store.toml with auto-migration
• Change stats flag to u8 for C ABI consistency
