Releases
Every version documented. What was added, what was fixed, what was deprecated — no sugarcoating.
Major language expansion. Axon now supports first-class functional programming — named functions, closures, recursion, arrow syntax, and higher-order functions — alongside a full import system with private symbol isolation. HTTP client and environment variable access enable real API integrations. OCR via Tesseract and automatic tool detection at build time round out the release.

The native File I/O system is complete with support for PDF (MuPDF), XLSX, DOCX, CSV and JSON — with automatic type detection by extension. The 5-type memory system is introduced including semantic HNSW memory with native embeddings via Ollama. Multi-flow architecture is complete with imports and flow composition.

Use the task's return value directly.First release with the complete actor model. Introduces agent {}, task {}, the pipeline operator >>, invocation Actor->Task(), and the validation {} block with automatic retries. The C++17 runtime is stable with its actor FSM (IDLE → RUNNING → SUCCESS/FAILED/FLAGGED).

Functional language core: data types, operators, control flow, f-strings, try/catch, and the main {} entry point. The C++17 runtime compiles and executes basic flows without agents.

These are the planned phases. Dates are estimates — we ship when the code is ready and the tests pass.
