Upgrading?

AI Summary

This release fixes a critical crash in replica effects when node or edge references diverge. It also improves performance by rebuilding transpose matrices incrementally during RDB decoding and introduces new public APIs for graph encoding.

Key Highlights

  • Fixes replica SIGSEGV on UPDATE_EDGE/UPDATE_NODE divergence
  • Incremental matrix rebuilding for faster persisted graph loading
  • New public APIs for graph encoding versions (Graph_EncodingVersion, Graph_GetDecoder)

New Features

  • Export Graph_EncodingVersion and Graph_GetDecoder for external modules

Full Release Notes

## What's Changed

### Bug Fixes
* fix(effects): stop replica SIGSEGV on UPDATE_EDGE/UPDATE_NODE divergence - replicas no longer crash when an effect references a node or edge that no longer exists locally; the mismatch is now detected and triggers a full resync instead (#2581)

### Performance
* remove full sync from decoder - transpose matrices are rebuilt incrementally as delta-matrix components are set during RDB decoding instead of forcing a full sync at the end, speeding up loading of persisted graphs (#2584)

### Improvements
* serializers: export Graph_EncodingVersion and Graph_GetDecoder - new public APIs let external modules (e.g. graph-offloading) stamp dumps with their encoding version and select the matching decoder on load (#2552)
