What's New

Release notes show no coherent delta: v2.34.11 describes server RPC and workspace build changes unrelated to v0.8.5's GUI/HID++ fixes, so the jump appears to span different codebases.

Breaking Changes

  • The version jump from 0.8.5 to 2.34.11 crosses two major boundaries, so API and configuration compatibility cannot be assumed even though no breaking change is documented.
  • The newer notes reference server-side RPC and workspace build behavior with no mention of the GUI, depot, or HID++ subsystems present in the older release, suggesting removed or relocated functionality.

New Features

  • Container image published as ghcr.io/coder/coder:2.34.11, indicating a containerized deployment path not mentioned in the older release.

Improvements

  • Workspace build fan-out maps are now constructed once per batch instead of repeatedly, reducing per-batch overhead.
  • Server-side RPC handling is tightened to reject malformed or missing messages earlier in the pipeline.

Bug Fixes

  • Server now rejects missing RPC messages rather than allowing them to propagate as errors.
  • Older release fixed depot metadata resolution when a manifest was the only name available.
  • Older release stopped HID++ replies from being matched to the wrong in-flight request.
  • Older release restored the stacked card layout under gpui-kit 0.6.

Upgrade Notes

Treat this as a cross-project or cross-major upgrade rather than a routine bump: the two note sets share no subsystems, so validate configuration, deployment model, and any GUI or device-integration usage against the new version before rolling out. If you depend on the container image, switch to the published ghcr.io tag and re-check server RPC clients for stricter message validation. Because no migration path is documented, stage the upgrade in a non-production environment first.
