Farrow 0.2.0: selected convergence and release integrity

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Farrow 0.2.0 was the public pre-1.0 release superseded by 0.3.0. It keeps the Pigsty inventory and on-disk deployment format introduced by 0.1.0 while fixing the network and selected-convergence boundaries found during the final native replay.

What changed

A less-specific VPN exclusion such as 10.0.0.0/8 no longer blocks Farrow’s owned 10.10.10.0/24; equal or more-specific foreign routes, overlapping interfaces, occupied addresses, and a missing owned route still fail closed.
farrow up <node> downloads and prepares only the selected node. Desired inventory peers without state appear as absent; SSH/hosts/provisioning, UUID and port allocation, lifecycle commands, and persistent-disk checks use the committed node set without losing future scale-out intent.
New guests write # farrow-deployment-host and remove both that marker and the released # farrow-project-host marker before adding current host rows.
Command cancellation, structured output, confirmation, reload, diagnostic redaction, installer retention, and the smaller dependency graph from the unpublished intermediate work are included directly in 0.2.0.

Native and release evidence

The exact source commit completed a macOS arm64/HVF replay with MonoProxy active: selected u24-1 create/SSH/stop/start, incremental cached el9-1 create, two-node SSH, five explicit absent peers, and whole destroy all passed. On Ubuntu 26.04 amd64/KVM, the current Linux binary audited an existing four-node deployment and reached its control guest without mutation.

RC6 development candidate: owner-scoped Tier-1 delivery

Caution

Pre-Barn historical record. It preserves the predecessor candidate’s exact identity and does not establish support for current Barn bytes or paths. See current status.

Piglet 1.0.0-rc.6 is the owner-scoped local development candidate for the single native-QEMU path. It closes the requested Quick and exact four-node full scenarios on both Tier-1 hosts and adds durable privileged-network transactions. It is deliberately not a public release.

Warning

No Homebrew operation, public tag, remote push, GitHub Release, package repository, production signature, attestation, or support commitment was created. The hashes below identify retained local artifacts; this site does not provide them as downloads.

Development snapshot: the Go 1.27 product surface

Caution

Pre-Barn historical record. Names, commands, paths, hashes, and claims on this page describe the predecessor snapshot only. Use the current Barn status and guides for present behavior.

Piglet’s 2026-08-24 source snapshot has moved well beyond an initial QEMU spike. It now presents one coherent local-VM product: zero-configuration Quick, fixed-address private labs, 13 Piglet-owned profiles, an audited Pigsty inventory boundary, explicit persistence/state migration, diagnostics, and a reproducible release toolchain.
