Changed

  • Dev-env: Improved local database performance defaults — these apply to all database use, with the largest gains on big SQL imports (binary logging disabled on MySQL, InnoDB buffer pool raised to 1G to match the VIP production default, larger redo log, relaxed per-commit flushing). Existing environments pick the settings up automatically on their next start
  • Edge Worker deploys are upload-only by default and now preview current and intended active state before mutation.
  • Edge Worker deployment failures now distinguish upload failures from ambiguous enable failures and provide state-verification guidance.
  • Updated contributor guidance for maintaining the Node.js and Go CLI runtimes.
  • No customer-facing change until these artifacts are published.
  • VIP CLI 5 prereleases can now publish signed vip-next and go-search-replace archives through a guarded GitHub Actions and Buildkite promotion flow.
  • Fixed VIP CLI 5 prerelease promotion when Buildkite returns Windows artifact paths with backslash separators.

Added

  • Added vip edge-workers commands to scaffold, build, validate, deploy, inspect, enable, disable, and delete Edge Workers.
  • Added vip edge-workers deploy --enable to explicitly enable newly created or inactive workers after a successful upload.
  • Go CLI: Added update notifications and an update command with stable and preview channels, download verification, and recovery from installation failures.
