1.1.0 - Smoother Applies, Better Errors & More

This release focuses on making codify apply more resilient, informative, and polished.

• Partial applies - failed resources no longer stop the entire run. Codify now skips failed resources and their dependents while continuing everything else.

• Redesigned error messages - validation failures now show diffs between expected and actual resource state for easier debugging.

• New sudo password flow

  • Improved password prompt UI
  • Optional session password caching
  • --secure mode for fresh prompts every command

• Improved progress & logging

  • Live sub-progress indicators
  • Failed shell commands are surfaced directly in output
  • Adjustable log verbosity with cleaner raw logs

• Linux distro filtering - automatically exclude resources that don't apply to the current distro.

• Better non-interactive support

  • Plain text fallback for non-TTY environments
  • --yes auto-approve flag

• Additional improvements

  • Prevent macOS sleep during apply/destroy
  • Improved install script reliability
  • Plugin CLI version gating
  • Terminal resize handling in the TUI

0.5.0 - Huge performance uplift

Full Changelog: 0.4.0...0.5.0

We're happy to announce the new release of version 0.5.0 of the CLI and version 0.11.0 of the core plugin.

This version brings huge performance gains on all plans by as much as 7x to 9x faster. This was done by parallelizing commands across multiple resources and running background tasks to avoid the shell startup costs.
