Changelog

Unreleased

• Event subscription kept during rescans: radicle-search keeps reading node events while it rescans or reindexes, so the node no longer drops its subscription during every periodic rescan, and the events emitted meanwhile are no longer lost. Rescans and batched reindexes also keep running while the event stream is down, and the catch-up rescan after a reconnect runs in the background instead of delaying the resubscription

radicle-httpd + radicle-search 0.30.0

• tar.zst archive downloads: /raw/{rid}/archive/{ref}.tar.zst joins the tar, tar.gz and zip formats; it needs the zstd binary in PATH
• Archive ref errors: Unknown refs now return 404 and malformed ones 400, instead of 500
• Runtime log format: RADICLE_HTTPD_LOG_FORMAT selects text (default) or json logs at startup, with the access log emitted as structured fields in JSON; this replaces the logfmt build feature
• Batched search reindexing: radicle-search ignores seed events and reindexes each touched repo once per batch (RADICLE_SEARCH_BATCH_SECS, default 30s), so a flapping peer no longer pins meilisearch at 100% CPU
• Updated rustls-webpki and webpki-roots to clear advisories reported by cargo audit

radicle-httpd + radicle-search 0.29.0

• Complete commit lists for merge-commit diffs: The diff endpoint no longer stops the walk early when the head merges the target branch in, which reduced such patches to a single commit

radicle-httpd + radicle-search 0.28.0

• Releases API: New /repos/{rid}/releases endpoints serve radicle-artifact release COBs, with Releases and Release views in the UI that degrade gracefully on older nodes
• Git-Protocol header passed through: Git HTTP routes forward the header to git-http-backend, fixing clients that require Git wire protocol version 2
• Updated chacha20, h2 and lru to clear advisories reported by cargo audit

radicle-httpd + radicle-search 0.27.0

• Commit-count endpoint: New /repos/{rid}/stats/commits/{sha} counts reachable commits from the commit-graph, avoiding the full history walk of /stats/tree
• Diff-stats endpoint: New /repos/{rid}/diff/{base}/{oid}/stats returns line counts without building hunks, 6–15x faster than /diff; it skips rename detection, so counts can differ slightly on renamed or copied files
• Faster file browsing: Blob requests no longer walk the whole history to find a file's last commit, which took seconds to minutes on large repositories
• Repository reads off the async workers: Synchronous libgit2 and COB reads run on the blocking pool, so one slow read no longer stalls queued requests
• Repo aliases in the JSON and raw APIs: --alias path segments resolve there too, not just on the git routes, and the repo endpoint exposes an optional alias field
• Higher open-file limit: Raised at startup, fixing spurious "missing object" errors in storage with thousands of packfiles
• Empty job COBs excluded: Job listings omit jobs with no runs
• RUST_LOG in the default logger: Honoured without the logfmt feature, defaulting to info
• Updated radicle crates, cargo dependencies and the Rust toolchain (1.97.1)

radicle-httpd + radicle-search 0.26.0

• Repository search: New optional radicle-search indexing daemon backs a /repos/search?q=… endpoint for typo-tolerant search over repo names and descriptions, plus faster /repos?sort=activity|seeding listings; httpd falls back to its built-in storage walk when the daemon is absent, so existing behavior is unchanged
• Git archive downloads: Additional formats ZIP and TAR are now supported. Also, a prefix is added to the archive by default, which can be disabled by using the query ?prefix=false. This query string is immediately deprecated. It only exists as a workaround for users to adapt their download scripts etc. to accommodate for the prefix. It will be removed in a future version.
• Streaming archive downloads: Archives are streamed to the client instead of being buffered in memory, avoiding excessive memory use on large repositories
• Faster archive HEAD requests: HEAD requests no longer build an archive that is then discarded
• Streaming git operations: Clone, fetch, and push stream request and response bodies and accept gzip-compressed requests, reducing memory use on large operations

radicle-httpd 0.25.0

• Canonical and peer refs in repo API: The repo endpoint now exposes canonical refs and per-peer refs, letting clients discover branches and tags resolved by delegate quorum as well as those from individual nodes
• Job COBs endpoint: New /repos/{rid}/jobs/{sha} endpoint serves job collaborative objects, enabling clients to query CI/CD job state

radicle-httpd 0.24.0

• Windows support: The HTTP daemon now runs on Windows with platform-specific adaptations
• Faster API responses: Improved /node endpoint performance
• Git namespace paths: Direct access to node ref namespaces via /{rid}.git/{nid}/ remote URLs, simplifying clones and fetches from specific nodes
• Updated dependencies and internal improvements

radicle-httpd 0.23.0

• Live config reload: Update configuration without restarting by sending a SIGHUP signal
