Changelog¶

This page records user-visible changes in every tagged release. Dates come from the annotated release tags. Docbank remains pre-1.0, so public interfaces may still evolve, but vaults created by v0.9.0 and later are within the storage compatibility boundary.

v0.12.0 — 2026-08-01¶

New features¶

• Add verified multi-store storage with configurable local filesystem and S3-compatible blob placement.
• Upload new documents and download current or retained historical versions through the web application with integrity verification.
• Inspect document history, provenance, permanent audit records, background jobs, backups, and physical storage in the web application.
• Browse tags, assign them to documents, and manage tag definitions in the web application.
• Manage recoverable trash in the web application and TUI.
• Inspect tags, background jobs, backups, and physical storage in the TUI.

Improvements¶

• Report packed storage left behind after a restore so operators can see what still awaits reclamation.

v0.11.0 — 2026-07-23¶

New features¶

• Open and browse a vault in a local web application.
• Explore documents and audited history in a read-only analytical TUI.
• Schedule bounded automatic vault packing.
• Manage multiple permanent audit scopes.
• Inspect nodes, create virtual directories, and download documents from the CLI.
• View document provenance through the CLI and embedded Go API.
• Search by directory, tag, media type, and modification time.
• Access physical write receipts through the embedded Go API.

Improvements¶

• Reset vaults fail closed when storage safety cannot be confirmed.
• Record shared tag changes across all applicable audit scopes.
• Report effective watched-inbox status.
• Delay watched-file ingestion until files are old enough to be stable.
• Publish verified downloads atomically without leaving partial files.
• Report maintenance lock contention immediately.
• Display concise human-readable timestamps.

v0.10.1 — 2026-07-22¶

New features¶

• Browse permanent audit history across an entire scope.
• Reorganize multiple documents atomically, so every move succeeds or none do.
• View the currently selected vault with docbank info.

Improvements¶

• Show physical byte totals in the loose-blob packing backlog.
• Preserve operator-approved Markdown in annotated release tags and make release creation an explicit, human-reviewed workflow.

v0.10.0 — 2026-07-21¶

New features¶

• Add bounded embedded APIs for document ingestion, retrieval, traversal, and maintenance.
• Add immutable embedded content-addressed storage APIs.
• Accept stable node IDs as reusable CLI selectors across document operations.

Improvements¶

• Compress worthwhile new loose blobs while preserving their logical SHA-256 identities and verified-read contract.
• Bound tree output and report truncation so large vaults remain manageable for people and agents.

v0.9.0 — 2026-07-19¶

New features¶

• Search inside verified UTF-8 plain text, Markdown, JSON, and JSONL content, not only document names and metadata.

Project changes¶

• License Docbank under the Apache License 2.0.
• Establish v0.9.0 as the first released storage-compatibility boundary.

v0.8.1 — 2026-07-19¶

• Publish a patch-level conformance-bootstrap release from the same source as v0.8.0. This gave updater checks two releases that both implement docbank version, allowing the complete update path to be exercised.

v0.8.0 — 2026-07-19¶

• Make CLI and daemon version reporting explicit and consistent through docbank version, docbank daemon version, and compatible-daemon checks.

v0.7.0 — 2026-07-19¶

• Automatically ingest stable regular files from configured watched inboxes.
• Preserve source identity without modifying the watched files, and append later byte changes as immutable versions of the same document.
• Expose watcher lifecycle and failures through supervised daemon jobs.

v0.6.0 — 2026-07-19¶

Permanent audited history¶

• Permanently enroll a directory tree in auditing with a preview-first, acknowledged workflow.
• Record and browse audited filesystem ingest, content replacement and revert, moves and renames, trash and restore, and tag creation, assignment, rename, and deletion.
• Independently replay protected authority with docbank audit verify and prove that current chains extend a separately recorded evidence report.
• Preserve and validate audited history through backup, JSONL export, and restore.

Automation¶

• Return structured receipts for virtual-tree mutations and typed JSON from established read commands.
• Publish stable CLI exit codes for usage errors, missing objects, stale state, busy resources, and integrity findings.

v0.5.0 — 2026-07-17¶

• Expose the embedded Go API directly from the module root.
• Create audit authority through production enrollment.
• Record audited content replacements and inherited audited node creation.
• Classify unavailable embedded content separately during verification, and report missing or size-mismatched bytes as ErrContentUnavailable.

v0.4.0 — 2026-07-17¶

• Page immutable content history and open any historical version through the embedded API's verified-read contract.
• Persist the initial audit enrollment authority for durable integrity verification.
• Support portable JSON representations of audit authority.
• Stabilize provenance as audit authority with canonical record shapes and deterministic collection ordering.

v0.3.0 — 2026-07-16¶

Document workflows¶

• Edit documents interactively with verified, versioned content replacement.
• List, replace, revert, and explicitly prune immutable content versions.
• Add, remove, list, and use stable user-facing tags.
• Find documents by authoritative content hash.
• Preflight large imports without opening content, stream ingest progress, and honor explicitly named cloud-storage roots.

Embedded and daemon operation¶

• Embed independently rooted vaults in Go applications with selectable SQLite drivers, packing, and bounded child traversal.
• Preserve stable vault and document identities across ingest and metadata operations.
• Supervise daemon background jobs and expose their current state.

v0.2.1 — 2026-07-13¶

This recovery release carried the v0.2.0 capabilities through a validated six-platform release build after v0.2.0's tag did not produce a published GitHub release.

• Create, list, verify, and restore incremental backups with portable JSONL metadata.
• Inspect packed storage, pack loose objects, reclaim sparse packs, and recover safely from interrupted pack retirement.
• Upload remote content with digest checks and verify content identity over HTTP.
• Run the complete Docbank CLI and daemon lifecycle natively on Windows.
• Stream verified loose and packed content within separate resource limits.
• Install checksum-verified archives on Linux, macOS, and Windows, on both amd64 and arm64.
• Validate all release builders before tagging and allow a recovery release to span an intervening unpublished tag.

v0.2.0 — 2026-07-13¶

Backup and packed storage¶

• Create daemon-owned incremental snapshots with authoritative JSONL metadata.
• Verify backup repositories and restore through a confined, exclusive recovery workflow.
• Inspect packed storage, pack loose objects, and reclaim sparse packs with explicit maintenance commands.
• Preserve recoverability when an obsolete pack cannot be retired immediately.

Portable clients and releases¶

• Upload remote content with digest checking and retrieve content through verifiable, bounded streaming reads.
• Run the complete daemon, CLI, lock, backup, restore, and self-update lifecycle with native Windows behavior.
• Build precompiled archives and installers for Linux, macOS, and Windows on amd64 and arm64.

v0.1.0 — 2026-07-09¶

Core vault¶

• Store documents in a virtual SQLite/FTS5 tree backed by a durable content-addressed blob store.
• Import directory trees idempotently, preserve provenance, and suffix genuine filename collisions without modifying source files.
• Browse, search, move, trash, restore, empty trash, garbage-collect, and verify documents from the CLI.
• Keep permanent deletion explicit: trash empty and gc preview unless the operator authorizes the mutation.

Daemon-first operation¶

• Run every standalone CLI data command through an auto-started, authenticated, loopback-only daemon rather than opening the vault directly.
• Expose the versioned HTTP API for tree, content, search, ingest, mutation, reclamation, and verification workflows.
• Coordinate daemon discovery, idle shutdown, and exclusive vault ownership.
• Configure server and web behavior in config.toml, generate an offline OpenAPI document, and self-update from verified GitHub releases.
• Bound search with --limit and report when additional matches exist.
• Publish Linux amd64/arm64 and macOS arm64 archives with SHA-256 checksums.
