Section pages:

- [Farrow 0.8.0: clearer recovery and refreshed images](/blog/release/farrow-0.8.0/): Recover host preparation, isolate failed nodes, preserve VM identities, and start the September Debian and Ubuntu images.
- [Farrow 0.7.0: simpler test labs and automatic recovery](/blog/release/farrow-0.7.0/): A shorter first run, compact progress, independent guest setup, and recovery through up.
- [Farrow 0.6.0: Ubuntu 24.04 and smoother local labs](/blog/release/farrow-0.6.0/): Ubuntu 24.04 defaults, useful plans before setup, clearer status, and reliable expansion and recreation.
- [Farrow 0.4.0: one command, working data disks, one voice](/blog/release/farrow-0.4.0/): A first run that is one command, a default data disk that works on every image, readiness failures that name the cause, and one output style across the CLI.
- [Farrow 0.5.0: explicit disposal, explicit repositories, reproducible images](/blog/release/farrow-0.5.0/): A no-confirmation whole-lab purge, explicit global and China repository selection, no hidden artifact fallback, and an eight-target official-image candidate pipeline.
- [Farrow 0.3.0: explicit catalogs and actionable readiness](/blog/release/farrow-0.3.0/): Explicit image-catalog updates, per-node bootstrap diagnostics, native guest interface names, and a smaller CLI.
- [Farrow 0.2.0: selected convergence and release integrity](/blog/release/farrow-0.2.0/): VPN-aware network preflight, truly selected scale-out, committed-state integrations, checksum-verified multi-platform artifacts, and the 0.1.0 upgrade boundary.
- [RC6 development candidate: owner-scoped Tier-1 delivery](/blog/release/rc6-owner-scoped-20260825/): Exact RC6 identity, four requested native product passes, durable network transactions, reproducible local archives, and the boundary that keeps this candidate unpublished.
- [Development snapshot: the Go 1.27 product surface](/blog/release/development-snapshot-20260824/): Quick and four-node private semantics, schema-3 owned profiles, Pigsty inventory integration, persistence, state migration, and verified release mechanisms.
