What's New

Major jump from v0.9.81 to v2.5.1 with an apparent product restructure (ShadowBroker to Dream Server) adding bootstrap recovery and Dream Talk.

Breaking Changes

  • Version leaps from 0.9.x to 2.5.x alongside an apparent rebrand/architecture shift, so in-place upgrade compatibility is unverified from the notes.
  • The signed auto-update keypair introduced in v0.9.81 is not referenced in v2.5.1, so the update path may need re-establishing.

New Features

  • Bootstrap full-model downloads now preserve partial .part files and resume across dream start, restart, or reinstall.
  • Dream Talk owner portal adds streamed SSE replies, live status frames, and TTS streaming.
  • Dream Talk gains mobile owner-card routing plus paperclip image/file attachments and install-context grounding.
  • LAN web guidance now directs operators to intended proxy surfaces instead of raw API ports.

Improvements

  • Hermes local-provider calls use a longer request timeout for slow time-to-first-token backends.
  • Lifecycle and reinstall paths hardened with compose health waits, delayed port reuse, and model-swap container recreation.
  • Stale cloud compose-cache invalidation, bundled service CPU limits, and fallback model serving improved.
  • Documentation expanded with runbook, forkability, security policy, branch hygiene, and CLI roadmap guidance.

Bug Fixes

  • Longer Hermes timeout resolves the Strix Halo timeout cascade seen with 35B local inference.
  • Bootstrap failed status counters are now populated and progress display is capped at 100%.
  • Partial download failures now recover cleanly on the next start, restart, or reinstall.

Upgrade Notes

Treat this as a migration rather than a routine patch given the 0.9.x to 2.5.x jump and apparent product restructure; validate a fresh install path first. Re-check bootstrap, Dream Talk, and compose/port configuration against the new defaults. Confirm the auto-update signing path still works after moving off the v0.9.81 keypair.
