Changelog

The published release history records released versions and their artifacts. Production documentation follows the released tag; development previews follow their version branch.

Surfaces marked in preview are deliberately absent from this page. They are documented and usable, but they sit outside the release line and carry no compatibility promise, so they are not part of a version’s contract.

Edge

edge is the opt-in development build. It tracks the v0.6 branch and is republished as the branch moves; pin a released tag for anything you depend on.

Running edge

git clone --branch v0.6 https://github.com/hev/layer.git
cd layer
export GATEWAY_IMAGE=hevlayer/layer-gateway:edge
export TURBOPUFFER_API_KEY="tpuf_..."
docker compose up -d --wait
curl --fail http://localhost:8080/health

The quickstart covers the rest.

0.6

Proposals

Unreleased design proposals are tracked separately from published release notes. A proposal does not establish store or edition support; use the selected edition’s API reference.
