🚀 elevata 1.0.0 — A system, not just a set of features

With version 1.0.0, elevata reaches a major milestone.

What started as a SQL generation layer has become a metadata-native data platform engine —
one where transformations are no longer implicit side effects of SQL, but explicit, inspectable models.

✨ What makes this release special

The centerpiece of elevata 1.0.0 is the Query Builder.

Instead of editing SQL or relying on conventions, queries are now modeled as a formal query tree:

• each transformation step is explicit
• each dependency is visible
• each result is deterministic and explainable

SQL is no longer the place where meaning is hidden —
it is a derived artifact, generated from metadata and contracts.

💡 Why this matters

• Complex transformations become understandable
• Changes become predictable
• Errors are detected before execution
• Data logic becomes maintainable at scale

Combined with Query Contracts, lineage, and governance-aware execution, elevata provides
a foundation for data platforms that value correctness, transparency and long-term evolution.

⚖️ Stability guarantee

Version 1.0.0 is the first stable release of elevata.

From this point on:

• metadata models
• execution semantics
• and public interfaces

are considered stable and backwards-compatible.

Future releases will build on this foundation — without breaking it.
