v0.10.0 — EXODIA: Native Execution Tier
The language gains a register bytecode VM and a copy-and-patch JIT with a register-allocating x86-64 backend (EXODIA), reaching geomean parity with V8/Node on the interpreter benchmark suite. Five new crates join the workspace — forge, jit, synth, runtime, and tv — alongside prebuilt largo binaries with one-line installers, a language server grown to 20 providers with a socratic teaching layer, a VSCode extension on the marketplaces, verified-arithmetic proof work, and strict whole-input parsing.
Pigeonhole vs the Field: Z3, Kissat, and SaDiCaL
A new Solver-vs-the-field section on the benchmarks page pits our certified prover against Z3 (SMT), Kissat (the CDCL world champion) and SaDiCaL (the reference PR/SDCL solver) on a byte-identical formula. On pigeonhole, Z3 and Kissat hit the resolution wall while we certify it in milliseconds; against SaDiCaL — our own proof class — we are several× faster with a kilobyte certificate against its megabytes. The same prover runs in the Studio, in WASM, no Z3.

v0.9.15 — IEEE 1800-2017 SVA Coverage Expansion
40+ new SvaExpr variants for full IEEE 1800-2017 coverage: property connectives, LTL temporal operators, sequence composition, abort operators, assertion directives, local variables, bitwise operators, vacuity analysis, and benchmark specifications for FVEval, VERT, and AssertionBench.

v0.9.12 — Full Hardware Verification Pipeline
FOL-to-SVA synthesis, coverage and sufficiency analysis, CEGAR refinement, RTL extraction and knowledge graph linking, protocol templates, waveform rendering, invariant discovery, and consistency checking.
v0.9.11 — Bitvector Theory & Bounded Model Checking
Bitvector and array types in the verification IR, bounded model checking for temporal properties, equivalence checking module, and expanded SVA model with seven new temporal operators.
v0.9.10 — Hardware Verification Pipeline
New SVA codegen module for generating SystemVerilog Assertions from FOL specifications, knowledge graph semantics, and 16 new hardware verification test suites.
v0.9.9 — All 3 Futamura Projections Validated
PE Map/CCopy support across all PE variants, expression embedding analysis for smarter memoization, extended key generation, and full validation of all three Futamura Projections with 6,035 tests passing.
v0.9.6 — Studio Fix & Local Vec Optimization
Fixes the Studio file browser broken since 0.9.0, adds escape-analysis-driven local Vec optimization for zero-overhead collection indexing, and borrow parameter emission for readonly/mutable-only Seq params.
v0.9.4 — PE Infrastructure, Self-Application & Reference Semantics
PE BTI and mini source programs for Futamura Projections 2 and 3, genuine self-application verified, Rc-based reference semantics with LogosSeq/LogosMap, and ~5,000 new tests.

Bidirectional type checker with Robinson unification, codegen split into 13 modules, 15 performance optimizations, 6 new language features, and ~392 new tests.
v0.8.19 — Benchmark Reliability
Fixes missing Zig benchmark data, increases benchmark runs for lower variance, and adds a swap pattern regression test.
v0.8.18 — Constant Propagation Safety Fix

v0.8.17 — C Backend & Test Expansion
A self-contained C codegen backend, constant propagation optimizer, and 334 new E2E tests across 20 files — plus 5 bug fixes with zero regressions.
v0.8.16 — RangeInclusive Fix
Fixes a 41.4% bubble sort regression caused by Rust's RangeInclusive overhead. All for-range loops now emit exclusive ranges.
v0.8.15 — Direct Strike
For-range loop emission, iterator-based loops, list literal type inference, exclusive-bound vec fill, and equality swap patterns — five codegen optimizations that close the gap on array-heavy benchmarks.

Deep expression folding across all 26 AST variants, unreachable-after-return elimination, algebraic identity simplification for integers and floats, and Maybe as dual syntax for Option.
v0.8.10–0.8.13 — The Optimizer
Accumulator introduction, automatic memoization, mutual tail call optimization, purity analysis, peephole patterns, and copy-type elision — recursive functions now compile to loops, and generated code approaches hand-written Rust.
v0.8.6 — Ten-Language Benchmark Suite
A benchmark suite comparing LOGOS against C, C++, Rust, Go, Zig, Nim, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, and Java — with CI automation and an interactive results page.

v0.8.0 — LSP Server and FFI System
A Language Server Protocol implementation with full language intelligence, a VSCode extension for 5 platforms, and a C FFI export system for cross-language interop.
