v1.1.0

What's New

Background Daemon Management

Run Relay as a background service that survives terminal closure. Uses pm2 under the hood (auto-installed on first use).

relay start      # Start as background daemon
relay stop       # Stop the daemon
relay restart    # Restart the daemon
relay logs       # Tail daemon logs (Ctrl+C to exit)
relay status     # Show PID, uptime, memory, restarts

Self-Update

relay update

Auto-detects install method (npm global or git source) and updates accordingly. Restarts the daemon automatically if running.

Config System

• New src/config/ module with schema, loader, and interactive setup wizard
• Config resolution: CLI flags > config file > env vars > defaults
• relay onboard interactive wizard for first-time setup
• Config stored in .relay/config.json

Structured Logging

• Pino-based JSON logging with child loggers per component
• Configurable log levels via --log-level

Improved Error Messages

• Startup errors now show clean, readable messages instead of raw JSON logs with stack traces
• Missing SDK packages show clear install instructions
• Missing config prompts users to run relay onboard

Other Changes

• Removed .env.example in favor of config file approach
• Updated all documentation (main + website)

Upgrading from v1.0.x

# npm
npm install -g @4via6/relay@latest

# From source

After upgrading, relay update handles all future updates.
