Why This Release Matters

This release marks the point where Bonumark Stream moves from private development into a public repository.

The goal is simple: give people a lightweight, understandable, self-hosted way to publish short-form content on their own site instead of depending entirely on rented platforms.

Bonumark Stream is still pre-1.0 software, but this release provides the first public foundation for testing, feedback, improvement, and future releases.
