What’s New

This page highlights notable improvements across recent releases. For the full history, see CHANGELOG.md in the repository root.

1.0.10 — PyPI bootstrap hardening

  • Build in a clean dist/ so trusted publishing uploads only helix-governance artifacts.
  • Add helix-governance[studio] extra and a helix-studio shim that prints install guidance when GUI deps are missing.

1.0.9 — Windows packaging meta fix

  • Windows bundling now tolerates PyInstaller _internal/ layout for helix_build_meta.json.

1.0.8 — Windows PyInstaller spec fix

  • Fix Windows PyInstaller EXE(...) wiring for multi-entrypoint bundles.

1.0.7 — Windows release packaging fix

  • Fix Windows PyInstaller shader inclusion (explicit datas pairs; no Tree(...) entries).

1.0.6 — Release workflow validity fix

  • Fix release workflow conditional publish steps so GitHub Actions accepts and runs release.yml.

1.0.5 — Release pipeline hardening

  • Windows release packaging: fix PyInstaller datas shader Tree handling.
  • Release workflow: allow optional API-token publish fallback (otherwise uses trusted publishing).

1.0.4 — Release packaging fix

  • Windows release packaging: fix PyInstaller spec repo-root detection (no __file__ reliance).
  • Migration note for helix-governance → helix-governance is now prominent in README and Getting Started.

1.0.3 — Governance authority made visible

  • Deterministic provenance header + block injected into *.export.json, *.evidence.json, and HTML reports.
  • Studio labels the effective mode (DECISION_GRADE vs EXPLORATORY) using readiness gates so UI can’t claim authority the backend won’t grant.
  • helix verify <bundle> now prints a short human summary first (including manifest hash even on failure) while preserving stable machine FAIL\t... lines.
  • New offline onboarding primitive: helix governance self-check --json --strict --decision-mode decision_grade.

1.0.2 — Partner intake + repro guardrails

  • Design partner funnel: helix partner run --outdir out --with-support-bundle --json-out out/partner_run.json ships three seeded demos and a support bundle.
  • Intake automation: tools/partner_intake.py --strict, tools/partner_case.py, and tools/partner_followup.py keep bundles/handshakes consistent and ledgered.
  • Repro bundle v1: helix run --out repro_out --backends all + helix verify --kind repro exercises CPU/GPU parity.
  • Lightcone audit packs: Studio exports audit zips; verify with tools/lightcone_verify_audit_pack.py.

1.0.1 — Lightcone GPU + audit packs

  • GPU renderer + picking in Studio Lightcone panel; pinned-runner perf gate via tools/lightcone_perf.py + tests/test_lightcone_perf_smoke.py.
  • Audit pack export/verify path for Lightcone fixtures.

1.0.0 — Helix 1.0 contract

  • Snapshot Spec v1, helixspec compile/diff/run/verify, VeriBiota export/preflight.
  • Headless parity: helix simulate|run produce sessions; helix report|export emit HTML/PNG artifacts.

0.2.0 — Schema‑Stamped Viz, Provenance, and Manifests

  • Schema manifest exports/diffs and CLI helpers for schema inspection.
  • Deterministic visualization provenance: viz‑spec hashing, input SHA‑256 capture, per‑image *.provenance.json trailers.
  • helix demo viz assets + schema reference docs, --schema flag for every viz subcommand, and JSON workflow provenance.
  • Polished optional extras (viz, protein, schema) and slimmer core deps.

0.1.0 — First Public Release

  • Initial public release of the Helix bioinformatics toolkit.

If you’re upgrading from an older version, skim the release notes above and the CLI help (helix --help) for any new flags or behavior.
