Changelog

tie is pre-1.0. The full, canonical changelog is CHANGELOG.md in the source repo. The highlights below are the ones that changed how the library is used.

v0.9.0 — cover artwork resolver

• tie media covers: a deterministic resolver for album covers, with the source of each decision.
• Cover artwork for albums, series and picture sets, including archive and embedded art.
• The media schema command and the matching docs.

v0.8.x — search, direct mode, the compute plane

• Free-text search with words, substring, prefix and fuzzy modes.
• tie -f: the whole client against a local .tie file, including mounts and SMB.
• flock protection against double writers and --read-only snapshots.
• tie-runner, tie-run, tie-exec and the fleet admin client.
• A performance pass and the memory optimization note.

v0.7.x — SMB, and a code review

• tie-smb: SMB2/3 from pure Go, with NTLMv2 users and roles.
• The October 2026 review: 81 findings, one fix per commit, each with a regression test that failed before the fix. The story is here.
• Breaking changes around the media contract and the config keys.

v0.6.0 — the media collection contract

• member-of, added-at, member-count, covers and playlists.
• The album model the apps build on.

Older

The v0.4/v0.5 line added the tag tree, the FUSE mount and verify. The project began in 2023 as tiedb, a key-value-value store; the 2023 page is preserved in the concepts page.
