Release Announcement v2.2.3

ATHA v2.2.3 Release Announcement

Date: 2026-04-01

ATHA v2.2.3 is now available.

This release focuses on command semantics clarity, stable UX, and stronger reviewer-facing differentiation between planning and simulation workflows.

Highlights

• Strong separation of planning and simulation modes
  • --plan now emphasizes decision analysis (what and why)
  • --dry-run now emphasizes execution preview (what would run)
• Improved command consistency across install, remove, and update
• Expanded history audit capabilities
  • summary views
  • action/status filters
• Documentation refresh for professional release communication

Why This Release Matters

ATHA is positioned as a safety and workflow layer for pacman.

This release reinforces that identity by making decision transparency explicit and reducing ambiguity between analysis and simulation modes.
