Vale v0.1.7

• Upgraded the workspace to Go 1.27.1 and refreshed all direct dependencies and CI tooling.
• Added in-process HTTP handler endpoints that remain available independently of upstream health.
• Added route-level write timeout overrides and safe unbuffered SSE streaming with cancellation propagation.
• Modernized public extension registries around generic, type-safe APIs while preserving workspace-first module wiring.
• Removed operational uses of the default logger in favor of injected loggers.
• Documented pure-Go Windows builds that do not require CGO or MSYS2.

Vale v0.1.6

• Added an embedded GatewayBuilder component example module.
• Switched CI to a per-module test/lint/vet matrix for root, optional modules, and examples.
• Documented public API tiers for stable root APIs, DTO boundaries, advanced packages, optional modules, and binary assembly.
• Reduced route cache miss work by reusing computed route match cache keys.
• Removed avoidable allocations in single-route entrypoint fast-path and route cache eligibility checks.
• Stabilized reload health checking by running an immediate health pass on health checker start and avoiding test port reuse races.

Vale v0.1.3

• Added CI golangci-lint coverage for root and workspace modules.
• Documented go.work-only local module development and path-prefixed submodule release tags.
• Added a Docker Compose gossip cluster smoke test that validates metadata, data, and certificates Raft voter convergence.
• Fixed reload restarts so the replacement health checker keeps running after static runtime changes.
• Reduced startup log noise by moving internal lifecycle logs to debug and suppressing first health-down transitions at info level.

Vale v0.1.2

• Added built-in forward auth middleware and Traefik-compatible forwardauth.* labels.
• Added gossip-based cluster discovery backed by memberlist, with Dragonboat membership still controlled by the Raft leader.
• Added container-validated auto-discovery flow for metadata, data, and certificates Raft groups.
• Updated selected dependencies while preserving Dragonboat-compatible dependency boundaries.
• Fixed extension component example module metadata for logx.

Vale v0.1.1

• Expanded Traefik-compatible Docker labels for basic auth, compression, IP allow lists, CORS, and rate limits.
• Added builtin basic auth, gzip compression, and IP allow list middleware.
• Added reload status admin view with route/service/endpoint diff information.
• Added Raft applied-state persistence regression coverage.
• Added GHCR container image publishing for valed release tags.
• Added internal Go benchmarks plus a Docker-based Vale/Traefik/Caddy comparison harness.
• Switched Docker comparison benchmarks to use the GitHub-published Vale image by default, with explicit local-build opt-in.
• Added fixed UPX optimization to source-built and release container images.
• Replaced the public runtime plugin API with compile-time library extension registries.
• Added embedded examples for custom middleware, remote JWT validation, custom config providers, and extension component wiring.

Vale v0.1.0

• Library-first root API under github.com/arcgolabs/vale.
• Collectionx-backed compiled runtime API and builder helpers.
• Built-in oxy reverse proxy engine.
• Static config, file config, merged providers, reload debounce, and config fingerprint dedupe.
• Built-in middleware plus embedded middleware registry.
• Static TLS and ACME support with secure defaults.
• Observabilityx-backed request, reload, health, and active object metrics.
• go-memdb-backed runtime catalog for route admin queries and future control-plane diffing.
• Typed Raft FSM state for route sync commands with storx/bboltx persistence.
• Optional workspace modules for cmd, raft, prometheus, docker, file providers, k8s provider, and examples.
