v2.8.11

vercel/turborepov2.8.11Feb 25, 2026by turbo-orchestrator[bot]

AI Summary

This is a major performance-focused release featuring extensive optimizations across the codebase, including replacement of git subprocesses with native Rust libraries (libgit2 and gix-index), parallelization of multiple operations, and removal of the daemon from turbo run with deprecation of daemon flags and config.

Key Highlights

  • Major performance improvements: replaced git subprocesses with libgit2 and gix-index for faster file hashing
  • Removed daemon from `turbo run`, deprecated daemon flags and config
  • Multiple parallelization improvements across workspace discovery, lockfile parsing, package.json loading, and task hash computation
  • Reduced filesystem syscalls and CPU overhead in hot path operations
  • Optimized dependency resolution cache sharing across workspaces

Breaking Changes

  • Daemon removed from `turbo run` - daemon flags and config are now deprecated. Users relying on the daemon will need to update their workflows.

New Features

  • Remove daemon from `turbo run`, deprecate daemon flags and config
