What's New

Major update focusing on GPU diagnostics, device matching improvements, and stability fixes compared to node health tracking in v0.52.0

Breaking Changes

  • Changes NVIDIA device matching from index to identity
  • Rejects self-identity joins and requires node key override

New Features

  • Itemizes advertised capacity behind vram_bytes
  • Adds Gpu_name_source field to track capture method
  • Diagnoses direct-connect advertisement and peer paths
  • Surfaces advertised memory breakdown
  • Advertises externally observed public address

Improvements

  • Enhanced network handling for external address advertising
  • Improved cross-platform compatibility with Linux CUDA on driver-only hosts
  • Honors native runtime selection across startup paths

Bug Fixes

  • Rejects malformed tool definitions
  • Links Apple OpenMP runtime
  • Keeps direct GGUF split loads local
  • Reports client mode from --client --auto console state

Upgrade Notes

Update node keys if self-identity joins are rejected. Reconfigure NVIDIA device mappings as the system now matches drivers by identity instead of index.
