v0.8.1

This release includes a number of fixes detailed below:

CL 1186144 fixes a number of evaluator panics which could be triggered by calling the cue.Value.Expr method, which also happened when using the OpenAPI encoder.

CL 1173100 fixes cue get go panics which might occur when any Go packages are vendored or use imported alias declarations.

CL 1185281 fixes a regression introduced in v0.8.0 which led to some incorrect failures in tools/flow and cue cmd.

Full list of changes since v0.8.0

• internal/cueversion: bump for v0.8.1 by @mvdan in 95bed3d
• cue: adjust Environment for comprehensions by @mpvl in 4cdb317
• Revert "tools/flow: check and return errors from task values" by @rogpeppe in 0630a37
• cmd/cue: find packages by canonical path in get go by @uhthomas in 773ab2d

v0.9.0-alpha.1

This release adds initial support for the CUE Central Registry (details below) and includes a number of fixes and improvements.

As a reminder: users can register their projects with Unity, our regression and performance testing setup. Unity is used to ensure that a project's CUE evaluations do not unexpectedly stop working, or regress in terms of performance. It continues to catch multiple issues with each release. Adding your project to Unity not only guarantees that we will not break your tests (if we do, we will work with you to fix your CUE code), but it also helps to improve the quality of each CUE release. Follow this link to learn more about Unity, install it, or get in touch with any questions.

Modules

This release includes experimental support for the CUE Central Registry at registry.cue.works. We have added a cue login command to log into the Central Registry via a GitHub account, and other commands know how to use these credentials when talking to the registry.

We will share more details about the Central Registry and support for other login mechanisms in the future. For now, we are looking to get early feedback.

To get started with the Central Registry, we have published a tutorial on working with modules and the central registry as well.

CL 1185280 adds cue help modules as a high-level overview of CUE modules as well.

Go API

CL 1185281 reverts a change in v0.8.0 to fix valid uses of tools/flow involving task inputs derived from the evaluation of other tasks.

CL 1185684 removes the last remaining bits of API which supported quoted identifiers, which had already been deprecated and largely unsupported for years.

cmd/cue

CL 1173100 fixes cue get go to avoid panics when dealing with vendored packages or any type aliases which refer to indirectly imported packages.

CL 1185356 tweaks cue/load so that cue fmt is able to format CUE files given directly as arguments even when they belong to different packages.

CL 1185473 deprecates the short-form cue somecmd in favor of cue cmd somecmd, as the former caused a number of bugs and slowness when working out which subcommand to execute.

v0.8.0

This release includes experimental support for CUE Modules (more details below), as well as a number of improvements and fixes.

More CLs and refactors have also landed for the core evaluator's performance work. These aren't enabled yet as the work isn't complete; subscribe to the performance umbrella issue to read regular updates.

As a reminder: users can register their projects with Unity, our regression and performance testing setup. Unity is used to ensure that a project's CUE evaluations do not unexpectedly stop working, or regress in terms of performance. It continues to catch multiple issues with each release. Adding your project to Unity not only guarantees that we will not break your tests (if we do, we will work with you to fix your CUE code), but it also helps to improve the quality of each CUE release. Follow this link to learn more about Unity, install it, or get in touch with any questions.

Modules

This release includes experimental support for CUE modules in cmd/cue, as outlined in the updated Modules and package management proposal v3.

Alongside this release, we have published a tutorial on the new website which shows how to publish and fetch modules with a custom module registry.

We have also published the first version of the Modules reference documentation, the canonical documentation page describing how CUE modules work in detail.

Note that support for CUE modules is still experimental and subject to change, and needs to be explicitly enabled via CUE_EXPERIMENT=modules. See cue help environment for more information on the environment variables used below.

CUE maps modules to registries via $CUE_REGISTRY, which supports a simple string configuration format as well as a more detailed CUE configuration format which can be read from disk. See cue help registryconfig for more details.

The new cue mod tidy command rewrites cue.mod/module.cue in its canonical format, adds any missing module dependency requirements, and removes unused ones.

The new cue mod publish command publishes the current module to a module registry.

The new cue mod get command can add a new module dependency, update an existing one, or downgrade an existing one as long as it does not cause any conflict.

When running commands like cue export with CUE_EXPERIMENT=modules, dependencies are automatically fetched from module registries following $CUE_REGISTRY and cached on disk inside $CUE_CACHE_DIR.

CUE Language Server Protocol Implementation

This release includes the first early version of an experimental Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation for CUE. Whilst it remains experimental, the cmd/cuepls binary is separate from cmd/cue. However at a later date it will most likely to become a subcommand of cmd/cue like cue lsp serve.

We are working on updating the VSCode plugin to use cmd/cuepls, as well as supporting an initial version of a plugin for Neovim. For JetBrains users, we are working with the author of the CUE plugin to understand how best to integrate cmd/cuepls with JetBrains.

We will share announcements once the editor integrations are ready for use, and once more LSP features beyond formatting files are available. Subscribe to the LSP announce discussion, or join us in #cuepls on CUE Slack.

Go API

Note that this version of CUE requires Go 1.21 or later, following our policy to support the latest two stable Go releases just like upstream.

The cue/load package supports the CUE Modules experiment out of the box with the environment variable CUE_EXPERIMENT=modules. Alternatively, a custom registry and authorizer can be configured with the Config.Registry field via the modconfig.NewRegistry API.

cue/load also has a new Config.Env struct field to provide the environment variables used to load CUE modules from registries. It defaults to using os.Environ.

We have also added new Go examples to the cue/load package, including an example demonstrating the use of a CUE modules registry.

CL 1173271 drops support for legacy pkg directories, which have been deprecated since the transition to a cue.mod directory in 2019.

CL 1174069 replaces a few more uses of the deprecated cue.Instance type with cue.InstanceOrValue.

CL 1175779 deprecates the FileOffset and File.Base APIs in cue/token, which were inherited from go/token but never had any effect.

Language

There are no changes to the language in this version.

Spec

CL 1173197 makes the use of the term "builtin function" consistent across the document.

Core Evaluator

CL 1173262 fixes a regression introduced by v0.7.0's upgrade to github.com/cockroachdb/apd/v3 where some arithmetic operations would result in an extra 0 digit.

Encoders

CL 1173689 fixes the YAML encoder so that strings looking like hexadecimal numbers are properly quoted.

Builtins

CL 1173735 replaces the uses of Go's net package with net/netip when dealing with IP addresses, which makes them immutable, comparable, and take less memory.

CL 1173926 adds an IPv6 API to net to check that a value is a valid IPv6 address, mirroring IPv4 and taking advantage of the switch to the Go net/netip package.

CL 1174339 fixes tool/exec so that it correctly applies env defaults in CUE values.

CL 1174623 fixes tool/exec so that it accepts env list values as documented.

cmd/cue

CL 1176194 adds a language.version field to cue.mod/module.cue to track what CUE language version a module was written for. This will become necessary to make future language changes as smooth as possible for CUE users. For example, running cue mod init or cue mod tidy with the v0.8.0 release should add language: version: "v0.8.0" when the field isn't present.

CL 1173892 adds a cue help environment section to document the environment variables used by the CLI, such as CUE_EXPERIMENT and CUE_REGISTRY.

CL 1176665 fixes cue cmd so that legacy commands always get the corresponding CUE schema unified.

CL 1177330 fixes a bug where some evaluation errors in tools/flow and cue cmd were omitted, causing unintended results.

CL 1177546 tweaks cmd/cue so that it obeys the --package flag when the output format is CUE.

v0.8.0-rc.1

This release includes a number of fixes and improvements for the experimental support for CUE modules first released in v0.8.0-alpha.1.

Modules

cue mod tidy gained a --check flag, which succeeds only if the module file contains exactly the required dependencies and also contains a canonical CUE language version.

cmd/cue and cue/load now send a detailed HTTP User-Agent string to CUE registries when sending HTTP requests, including the CUE and Go versions, rather than Go's default net/http user agent string.

cmd/cue now supports CUE_DEBUG=http to print HTTP logging information to stderr in JSON format.

Local builds of cmd/cue, such as running go install ./cmd/cue, now include a proper CUE version, allowing cue mod init and cue mod tidy to insert language.version as expected.

v0.8.0-alpha.4

This release includes a number of fixes and improvements for the experimental support for CUE modules first released in v0.8.0-alpha.1.

Thank you to @kharf, @mvdan, @myitcv, @nickfiggins, and @rogpeppe for contributing to this release!

Modules

The cue/load package now supports loading CUE instances using the CUE Modules experiment, which was first added to cmd/cue in v0.8.0-alpha.1.

cue/load supports the CUE Modules experiment out of the box with the environment variable CUE_EXPERIMENT=modules. Alternatively, a custom registry and authorizer can be configured with the Config.Registry field via the modconfig.NewRegistry API.

We have also added new Go examples to the cue/load package, including an example demonstrating the use of a CUE modules registry.

v0.8.0-alpha.3

This release includes a number of fixes and improvements for the experimental support for CUE modules first released in v0.8.0-alpha.1.

Note that we skipped over v0.8.0-alpha.2 due to a minor release automation issue.

Modules

CUE_REGISTRY now supports a CUE configuration file in addition to the simple string form, which allows greater control over how to publish CUE modules as artifacts on OCI registries. This is useful when publishing to OCI registries which do not support arbitrary repository names, for example. This is not fully documented yet, but the schema for the file is available here and setting CUE_REGISTRY=file:path/to/file enables its use.

All cue subcommands should now support the modules experiment when it is enabled via CUE_EXPERIMENT=modules.

cue mod init now adds the language.version field as needed, to ensure that running cue mod tidy immediately after results in no changes.

CUE_MODCACHE has been replaced with CUE_CACHE_DIR, a parent directory to hold all cache files, much like how CUE_CONFIG_DIR already works for configuration files.

cue mod registry, a hidden command to start a local in-memory OCI registry for testing purposes, now treats repository tags as immutable to ensure published module versions cannot be modified. The "Working with a custom module registry" tutorial has been updated to use cue mod registry.

CUE Language Server Protocol Implementation

This release includes the first version of an experimental Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation for CUE. Whilst it remains experimental, the cmd/cuepls binary is separate from cmd/cue. However at a later date it will most likely to become a subcommand of cmd/cue like cue lsp serve.

We are working on updating the VSCode plugin to use cmd/cuepls, as well as supporting an initial version of a plugin for Neovim. For JetBrains users, we are working with the author of the CUE plugin to understand how best to integrate cmd/cuepls with JetBrains.

v0.8.0-alpha.1

This release includes experimental support for CUE Modules (more details below), as well as a number of improvements and fixes.

More CLs and refactors have also landed for the core evaluator's performance work; they aren't enabled yet as the work isn't complete.

As a reminder: users can register their projects with Unity, our regression and performance testing setup. Unity is used to ensure that a project's CUE evaluations do not unexpectedly stop working, or regress in terms of performance. It continues to catch multiple issues with each release. Adding your project to Unity not only guarantees that we will not break your tests (if we do, we will work with you to fix your CUE code), but it also helps to improve the quality of each CUE release. Follow this link to learn more about Unity, install it, or get in touch with any questions.

Thank you to @4ad, @cedricgc, @jpluscplusm, @martingreber, @mpvl, @mvdan, @myitcv, @nickfiggins, @nnnkkk7, @rogpeppe, and @vikstrous for contributing to this release!

Modules

This release includes experimental support for CUE modules in cmd/cue, as outlined in the Modules and package management proposal. We are also working on v3 of the modules proposal docs to coincide with the release of v0.8.0.

Alongside this release, we have published a tutorial on the new website which shows how to publish and fetch modules with a custom module registry.

We have also published the first version of the Modules reference documentation, the canonical documentation page describing how CUE modules work in detail.

Note that support for CUE modules is still experimental and subject to change, and needs to be explicitly enabled via CUE_EXPERIMENT=modules. See cue help environment for more information on the environment variables used below.

The cue mod tidy command is introduced, which rewrites cue.mod/module.cue in its canonical format, adds any missing module dependency requirements, and removes unused ones.

The cue mod publish command is also added. This publishes a version of the current module to a module registry.

When running commands like cue export with CUE_EXPERIMENT=modules, dependencies are automatically fetched from module registries following $CUE_REGISTRY and cached on disk.

Note that support for fetching modules from OCI registries via cue/load isn't ready yet; support for Go library users will be announced at a later time.

Go API

Note that this version of CUE requires Go 1.21 or later, following our policy to support the latest two stable Go releases just like upstream.

CL 1173271 drops support for legacy pkg directories, which have been deprecated since the transition to a cue.mod directory in 2019.

CL 1174069 replaces a few more uses of the deprecated cue.Instance type with cue.InstanceOrValue.

CL 1175779 deprecates the FileOffset and File.Base APIs in cue/token, which were inherited from go/token but never had any effect.

CL 1176665 fixes cue cmd so that legacy commands always get the corresponding CUE schema unified.

CL 1176194 starts adding a language.version field to cue.mod/module.cue, to start tracking what CUE language version a module's config files were written for. This will become necessary to make future language changes as smooth as possible for CUE users. For example, running cue mod init or cue mod tidy with the future CUE v0.8.0 release should add language: version: "v0.8.0" when the field isn't present.

v0.7.1

This release is a re-build of CUE v0.7.0 with Go 1.22.0 to prevent cue get go panics; see #2802.

v0.7.0

This release comprises a number of bug fixes and small improvements, as well as more ground work for Modules, WebAssembly, and the core evaluator's performance refactors.

Note that v0.7 was originally planned to center around the core evaluator's performance improvements. Since those refactors are not ready, and we have other fixes and improvements we want to release, we have slightly altered the release plan accordingly. We will share more details on our next community call.

As a reminder: users can register their projects with Unity, our regression and performance testing setup. Unity is used to ensure that a project's CUE evaluations do not unexpectedly stop working, or regress in terms of performance. Unity continues to catch multiple issues with each release. Adding your project to Unity not only guarantees that we will not break your tests (if we do, we will work with you to fix your CUE code), but it also helps to improve the quality of each CUE release. Follow this link to learn more about Unity, install it, or get in touch with any questions.

Thank you to @SteVwonder, @bozaro, @cedricgc, @howardjohn, @mpvl, @mvdan, @myitcv, @nickfiggins, @rogpeppe, @rudifa, and @uhthomas for contributing to this release!

And a special thanks to all who joined the recent contributor office hours calls on our community calendar, as well as our #contributing channel on Slack! Thanks to their involvement, more issues can be investigated and fixed each release.

Go API

Note that this version of CUE requires Go 1.20 or later, per our policy to support the latest two stable Go releases just like upstream.

CL 1172105 fixes a regression introduced in v0.6.0 where calling Iterator.Selector.Index while iterating over a list would incorrectly panic.

CL 1167597 fixes cue/load so it now errors on package import cycles, following the spec.

CL 1167647 adjusts cue.Value.Decode to decode empty CUE lists into a Go interface{} as a non-nil empty slice.

CL 547369 teaches cue.Value.Decode how to decode values which aren't entirely concrete into a Go type by using cue.Value as part of the destination type.

Language

There are no changes to the language in this version.

Spec

CL 1171216 fixes two errors in a dynamic fields example.

Core Evaluator

CL 1172014 disallows the direct use of unary operators with basic types, since they would result in confusing bounds which seemed incorrect.

CL 1172013 fixes a closedness bug where close did not properly apply when used inside definitions.

CL 1172874 fixes a panic in cue export introduced by v0.6.0.

Encoders

CL 1172314 teaches encoding/protobuf to follow the field_behavior annotation marking a field as either optional or required when decoding.

Builtins

CL 1172991 adds a mustSucceed boolean parameter to tool/exec.Run, which can be set to false to allow a command to fail and set its own field success to false.

CL 557322 fixes the values of math's Log2E and Log10E constants, which were being incorrectly truncated.

cmd/cue

CLs 1170966 and 1171302 fix a number of issues in cue fmt (and by extension the cue/format package), resulting in better and more consistent formatting of CUE files.

CLs 1171292, 1171015, 1170115, and 1171971 implement a variety of improvements and bug fixes for cue get go.

CL 1172017 fixes a number of issues with the line and column positions reported by our YAML decoder, which could result in weird CUE formatting when using cue import or misleading positions being shown to the user.

CL 1169709 increases the robustness of cue export -o, which in some situations could ignore file errors or incorrectly replace an existing file without the -f flag.

CL 1173072 fixes a panic when using cue import --list with empty YAML input.

CL 1168436 updates the cue export documentation to add the missing cue and binary supported export formats.

Modules

A number of changes are included to support an experimental implementation of the proposed modules and package management support. These aren't enabled by default, and will be announced soon.
