Changes
Changed
- FIPS now uses
fips-core0.3.56 andfips-endpoint0.3.32. - Large Rust modules were split into focused submodules so every Rust source
file is at or below the 1000-line maintenance cap.
Fixed
- The embedded FIPS dataplane now includes the latest upstream control-plane
progress and packet-mover reliability fixes while preserving peer/session continuity under queue pressure.
- Windows builds now pick up the FIPS patch that keeps shared dataplane worker
state available on non-Unix targets while leaving Unix raw-socket batching platform-gated.
- Release Docker and Linux dev builds no longer require a sibling hashtree
checkout now that the updater dependency is pinned to published crates.
