- Updated all crate versions to 0.3.0.
- Improved documentation across all modules.
- Enhanced error handling with more specific error types.
- Optimized performance of CRDT map merging and delta generation.
- Refactored mesh transport to support multiple backends (libp2p, WebRTC, LoRa) more cleanly.
- Upgraded dependencies to latest compatible versions.
- Python bindings for
send_toandbroadcastno longer consume the transport. MeshTransport::startmethod now works without consuming the transport.- Libp2p backend discovery improved for cross‑platform compatibility.
- Various memory leaks in state synchronization.
- Race conditions in task assignment.
- LoRa backend requires specific hardware and may not work in simulation.
- Quantum computing interfaces are experimental and depend on external simulators.
- Kubernetes operator requires cluster‑level permissions.
- Web‑based monitoring dashboard (
examples/web_monitor.rs). - Bounded consensus algorithm (two‑phase commit with timeouts).
- Delta compression (Zlib) and deduplication in
state‑sync. - Python bindings for
peers()method returning live peer list. - Integration of delta compression into mesh‑transport.
- Improved libp2p backend: peer‑id to agent‑id mapping, synchronous
peers(). - Updated all crate versions to 0.2.0.
- Enhanced documentation with new features and examples.
- Python
peers()method now correctly returns list of connected peers. - Delta batching and deduplication logic.
- Initial project skeleton with Rust workspace and six core crates:
common: shared types, error handling, serialization utilities.mesh‑transport: mesh networking with libp2p backend, discovery, connection management.state‑sync: CRDT‑based map with operation‑based deltas and vector clocks.agent‑core: high‑level agent abstraction integrating transport and state sync.local‑planner: trait for autonomous decision‑making.resource‑monitor: trait for system resource tracking.
- Python bindings via PyO3, providing
PyAgentandPyMeshTransportclasses. - Comprehensive documentation: architecture specs, API overview, getting started guide.
- Example applications:
simple_sync: two agents synchronizing a counter.ros2_gazebo: placeholder for ROS2/Gazebo simulation.
- CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions) for Rust and Python.
- Benchmark suite for CRDT map performance (using Criterion).
- Refactored mesh transport to resolve mutability mismatch between
BackendandTransporttraits. - Improved error handling with dedicated error types and logging.
- Enhanced CRDT map to generate deltas based on vector clocks, reducing bandwidth.
- Various compilation warnings and clippy lints.
- Inconsistent trait bounds in
BackendandTransport.
- Libp2p backend discovery may not work out‑of‑the‑box on all platforms.
- Python bindings for
send_toandbroadcastcurrently consume the transport (bug). - The
MeshTransport::startmethod consumes the transport (bug). - No real‑world multi‑agent simulation yet (only simple examples).
- First alpha release of the SDK.
- Basic functionality for offline‑first multi‑agent systems.
- All core components are present and can be integrated.
This release is intended for early adopters and developers who want to experiment with the SDK. It is not yet production‑ready, but provides a solid foundation for building decentralized, offline‑first autonomous systems.
