  1. The full wings API reference is now on the site

    Every wings endpoint — containers, images, blueprints, tasks, services, functions, terminal, cluster — with curl examples, right on the wings page. Wings itself is marked experimental.

  2. cardinal-wings: the panel backend is feature-complete

    Interactive terminal, live stats, webhooks, multi-node metrics, cluster guide and an OpenAPI schema — everything a control panel needs from wings is now in place.

  3. cardinal-wings: the panel API takes shape

    wings now has a full REST surface for building a control panel — async tasks, node routing, metrics, streaming logs and exec — plus automated release builds.

  4. A big website update: full docs, new guides, and a Docker API reference

    The docs now cover the whole CLI, the guides section doubled, and the site gained wings, an API reference, benchmarks, and more.

    The cobra migration regression is fixed — all 52 commands work again.

    v2.0.3

    The hand-rolled command dispatcher is replaced with Cobra, adding global flags and shell completion.

    Containers recover on boot, crash loops get a budget, and backups are scheduled and verified.

    v1.23.0
  13. Atomic state and hardened API defaults

    State writes become atomic, API defaults get locked down, and Go 1.25 is standardized.

    v1.22.7

    Multi-node orchestration, serverless functions, and one-command blueprints in a single binary.
