EduMatcher v0.13.0

[v0.13.0] - 2026-07-02

Release Type: minor

📋 Summary

This release introduces two new external-facing TCP gateways

1. pm-alf-gwy (text ALF1 protocol) and
2. pm-balf-gwy (binary BALF protocol).
   These new Gateways enable third-party trading systems to connect from external hosts over defined protocols without using the internal ZMQ bus.
   The internal trading console is renamed from pm-gateway to pm-alf-console to claify its role.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• Renamed pm-gateway to pm-alf-console; any scripts, aliases, or systemd units invoking pm-gateway must be updated

✨ Additions

• Added pm-alf-gwy: new external-facing TCP gateway implementing the text-based ALF1 session protocol, with configurable gateway roles, rate limiting, heartbeat/idle timeouts, and disconnect_behaviour support
• Added pm-balf-gwy: new external-facing TCP gateway implementing the BALF binary protocol using fixed-size little-endian frames, full order lifecycle (new/cancel/amend), engine event delivery (ack/fill/cancelled/amended/expired), and deterministic reject-code classification
• Added reference C client (alf_client.c, alf_parser.c) and Python client (alf_client.py, alf_parser.py) for external ALF1 connections
• Added docs/user-guide/24-alf-gateway.md: full ALF gateway user-guide chapter with protocol reference and operator runbook
• Added BALF support to pm-config-gen and pm-cverifier

📚 Documentation

• Updated user guide to cover the new BALF and ALF gateways
