On January 19, 2025, we released hellorest v1.0.1. This is a maintenance release dedicated to strengthening the project’s foundation by updating the core toolchain and refining our delivery pipelines. While this version doesn’t introduce new API endpoints, it ensures that hellorest remains stable, secure, and easy to deploy.

What’s new

This release focuses on internal health and infrastructure:

  • Go Toolchain Upgrade: We have updated the project to Go 1.23.5. This ensures we are leveraging the latest performance improvements and security patches from the Go team.
  • Enhanced CI/CD Pipelines: We’ve overhauled our GitHub Action workflows, including new build and validation steps, to make our release process more robust and transparent.
  • Updated Build Dependencies: Key build-time dependencies have been bumped to their latest versions to ensure compatibility and security.

Why it matters

For most users, hellorest is a “set it and forget it” tool used to validate networking and deployment configurations. By keeping the underlying toolchain current and the CI/CD pipelines optimized, we ensure that the Docker images you rely on are built using the most modern and secure standards. This maintenance work prevents technical debt and ensures that future feature additions can be integrated seamlessly.

Getting the latest version

Since hellorest is designed for simplicity, upgrading is effortless. If you are using the Docker image, simply pull the latest version to incorporate these infrastructure improvements:

docker pull ghcr.io/unitvectory-labs/hellorest:v1.0.1

Thank you for using hellorest to keep your environments predictable and validated!
