§00Changelog

Every version, and what it changed for you.

63 releases since 25 Jul 2026. Breaking changes say what to do about them, and a version that rebuilds your index says so at the top.

Archis updates itself: chi update checks what is published, verifies the release hash before writing anything, and puts the previous binary back if the new one does not start. chi update --check installs nothing.

  1. 0.52.0Latest

    Your agent can now trace who wrote any line of a federated repository and why, search a whole kernel-sized checkout, and publish a one-line change without resending the tree.

    Before you upgrade — Update, then reopen your agent window so it starts the new version. Your existing indexes are kept; run chi index once on a very large repository so its first search is instant.

    • NewNew agent tools for a federated workspace: federation_history names the commits, pull requests and tickets behind any lines of a member file, federation_read returns a file’s lines from the server, and federation_workspace, federation_diff and federation_lineage show each member’s branch and commit, what changed between two states and the work behind a commit — all without a checkout.
    • NewOne read policy for every agent tool: paths it must never serve and secret shapes it redacts, set by the workspace, the registry and a .chipolicy.json in the repository, with SCIM groups from your identity provider.
    • Newchi pilot report measures rework, reverts and review time of agent pull requests, with and without Archis, computed on your machine.
    • ImprovedThe first search after chi index on a repository the size of the Linux kernel takes under 3 seconds instead of a minute and a half, and federated search reads every file that can match in a large checkout instead of stopping at a budget.
    • Fixedchi repo publish sends only what the server lacks: a one-line change in the kernel sends six objects instead of two thousand. A new branch’s first sync counts only what changed from its base, and publishing a shallow mirror no longer takes minutes.
    • FixedFederation fixes: a shallow clone is refused instead of getting a random identity, chi repo attach registers each repository’s real default branch, the CLI redacts credentials as the agent tools do, federation commands honour --json, and project_overview no longer runs out of memory on a kernel-sized index.

Archis Free is the whole local engine, with no card. Everything semantic runs on your machine — there is no endpoint that accepts source.
