0.1.0-alpha - 2026-06-20

First public alpha release. Spanda is ready for community evaluation.

Added

Language & runtime

  • Spanda language (.sd) with robot-centric syntax: sensors, actuators, safety, agents, tasks
  • Physical unit type system (m, s, rad, m/s, compound units)
  • AI-native agents with ai_model, goal, memory, and mock LLM/Vision providers
  • ActionProposal → safety.validate() → SafeAction compile-time and runtime gate
  • Safety zones, emergency stop, and behavioral verify { } assertions
  • State machines, events, digital twins with replay buffer
  • Communication primitives: message, topic, service, action
  • Hardware profiles, deploy targets, and requires_hardware / requires_network
  • Foundations: module, struct, enum, trait, match, generics, trait objects
  • Deterministic task scheduler (task every Nms) with resource budgets
  • Sensor fusion via observe { } and fusion.read()
  • SoC/HAL profiles (Raspberry Pi, ESP32, STM32, Jetson, Arduino)
  • Manufacturer sensor driver registry (Velodyne, Bosch, Intel, Hokuyo, and others)

Tooling

  • Native CLI: check, verify, run, sim, fmt, lint, doc, debug, ir
  • Hardware verification: --target, --all-targets, --simulate, --json
  • Package manager: init, build, test, install, add, remove
  • TypeScript CLI wrapper with Rust delegation
  • Language Server (@spanda/lsp): diagnostics, completion, hover, rename, format
  • Web playground (@spanda/web) with WASM bindings
  • Debug Adapter Protocol server (spanda-dap)
  • Experimental LLVM path: llvm-ir, compile-native

Security & audit

  • Capability system, secrets, signed messages, audit records

Examples

  • 72+ sample .sd programs including examples/showcase/ curated demos
  • Package examples under examples/packages/

Documentation

  • README overhaul with positioning and architecture overview
  • docs/getting-started.md, docs/architecture.md, docs/vision.md
  • docs/feature-status.md with v0.1.0-alpha support matrix
  • docs/website-content.md for future site
  • Language reference, type system, hardware compatibility, packages, security docs

Community

  • CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
  • GitHub issue templates: bug report, feature request, language proposal, package proposal
  • CI: Rust tests, TypeScript tests, cargo fmt, cargo clippy, LSP, WASM, ROS2 native

Known limitations

  • AI providers use mock backends by default; no live API keys shipped
  • ROS2 integration requires manual ROS Humble setup (experimental)
  • LLVM/native compilation is experimental; interpreter is the primary runtime
  • Package publishing uses a local stub registry
  • No published VS Code extension (LSP must be configured manually)
  • Multi-robot examples run in-process; no distributed fleet runtime
  • MQTT/DDS transports are parsed but not live-connected

Roadmap (post-alpha)

  • Production LLVM backend and optimized native binaries
  • Published VS Code extension
  • Live AI provider plugins (OpenAI, local models, ONNX)
  • In-process Python/C++ FFI (PyO3, cxx)
  • ROS2 production adapter with zero-config deployment
  • Self-hosting compiler
  • Digital twin cloud telemetry sync
  • Distributed multi-robot orchestration
