Every version, and what it changed for you.
64 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.

Federated workspaces are locked down: each one belongs to its organisation, answers only to the machine and account its lease was issued to, and keeps credentials out of everything it stores, prints or exports.

chi repo fork,chi registry server clearandchi workspace evict --mode destroynow ask before they act, and fail without--yeswhen nobody is at a terminal.chi registry verify-exportrequires a signature whenever it knows a trusted key; pass--allow-unsignedfor exports made before this release. - ImprovedWorkspaces and features belong to an organisation, a lease names its member only on the machine and account it was issued to, and the read policy’s per-user rules follow that lease.
chi auth statussays when a lease was issued elsewhere, andchi workspace bindmanages a workspace’s binding, which a renamed or copied workspace now keeps. - ImprovedFederation is harder to misuse: compliance exports are signed, federated answers are marked untrusted and audited, tokens are never sent over cleartext
http://or to a server you did not approve, stored remote URLs carry no credentials, and a repository’s own git configuration can no longer run a program. - ImprovedRedaction finds more credential formats, including compose and Dockerfile values, and a slice of a key file never shows the key’s body. Editing a line that holds a credential with
