v2.1.4 – Build and configuration introspection

Version 2.1.4

Added

Build and configuration introspection

Added SQL functions to inspect Biscuit build-time configuration, intended for debugging,
reproducibility, and deployment verification.

• biscuit_version() → text
  Returns the Biscuit extension version.

• biscuit_build_info() → table
  Returns detailed build-time configuration information.

• biscuit_build_info_json() → text
  Returns build configuration as JSON for automation and scripting.

Roaring bitmap support introspection

Added SQL functions to inspect CRoaring bitmap support.

• biscuit_has_roaring() → boolean
  Returns whether Biscuit was compiled with CRoaring support.

• biscuit_roaring_version() → text
  Returns the CRoaring library version, if available.

Diagnostic views

Added a diagnostic view for inspecting Biscuit status and configuration.

• biscuit_status
  A single-row view exposing:
  • extension version
  • CRoaring enablement
  • bitmap backend in use
  • total number of Biscuit indexes
  • combined on-disk index size

Changed

Build and packaging

Improved Makefile detection logic for CRoaring bitmap support by checking multiple common
installation paths, increasing portability across systems and build environments.
