v2.8.0 — 2 August
Typed RPC over QUIC, in one binary.
Define a schema, generate clients for six languages, ship. No sidecar, no service mesh, no YAML you have to learn first.

Architecture review
“We deleted our service mesh. Latency halved and the on-call rota got noticeably quieter.”

Questions people ask first
Is anything held back from the open-source build?
No. The paid tiers buy support and response times, not features. The MIT binary is the same one our support customers run.
How do the benchmarks hold up?
The harness is in the repository under bench/. Run it on your own hardware; we would rather you verified it than took the number on trust.
Does it phone home?
Never. No telemetry, no update check and no licence server. It runs air-gapped.
What is the upgrade policy?
Semantic versioning, with wire compatibility guaranteed across a major version. Breaking changes get a migration guide and a codemod where one is possible.
