🚀 Release Notes

Breaking Changes from v0.0.4

Added: Python transpiler (rads-mask)
Added: Language-agnostic AST
Added: Multi-language masquerading foundation
Improved: Build system unification
Improved: Warning cleanup

Migration Path

From Python: Write Python code → transpile → run RADS → optimize in RADS

From RADS v0.0.1-v0.0.4: Already in RADS or migrate incrementally

From Docker/K8s: Write RADS code → deploy on Constellation → 10-400x performance gain
