2.0.0 - 2026-07-16

on GitHub

Release Notes

Added

• Added automatic, non-destructive Neon V2 → Silvervine migration for user
  config, cache, and log directories before logging starts.
• Added 2.x hook compatibility aliases: hooks receive both SILVERVINE_* and
  deprecated matching NEON_* context variables without overwriting explicit
  values.

Changed

• Renamed the product, repository, crate, library, binary, paths, user daemon,
  and current documentation from Neon to Silvervine for v2.0.0.
• Silvervine daemon migration starts the replacement registration before
  retiring the retained Neon V2 registration (neon.service or
  com.neon.tray), with rollback to the prior data and running state if
  retirement fails.
• Retired the Neon V1 Homebrew/AUR/deb sources. Their legacy migration paths
  and package-manager guidance remain supported; no Silvervine Homebrew tap is
  created.

Fixed

• Fixed macOS daemon IPC connections closing before clients could send their
  request when accepted sockets inherited nonblocking mode.
• Fixed macOS file-watcher events failing to match browser paths reported
  through canonical aliases such as /private/var versus /var.

Removed

• Removed the unsupported experimental VM/GPU bridge, including the
  neon stream command tree, neon doctor --bridge, libvirt dependencies,
  and bridge-specific daemon/tray integration. The research implementation is
  preserved on the experimental-bridge branch for contributors.
• Removed the bridge-only CDM provider abstraction and its redundant temporary
  copy of the cached Widevine payload during every browser patch.
• Removed the unsigned neon update self mechanism. Install updates through a
  supported package manager or GitHub Releases instead.
