Released on June 1, 2026

This is a big release. The main changes are the support for the new Sysand Index  
at [https://sysand.com](https://sysand.com), and changing the local environment structure to have human  
readable directory names. Projects from the new index can now be referred to  
by the new `publisher/name` syntax in `sysand add` and `sysand remove`, instead of  
an IRI.

Lock file (`sysand-lock.toml`) format has changed, and has to be regenerated  
by running `sysand lock`.

Local Sysand environment will now have a different structure and live in  
`.sysand`; existing `sysand_env` directories won’t be used anymore and can be  
removed. To populate the new environment with projects recorded in lock file,  
run `sysand sync`.

Index structure has also changed, so all indexes will need to be recreated  
using the new `sysand index` commands.

### Major changes

- implement the new sysand index read protocol (#288)
- use new local environment structure (#297)
- rename `sysand_env` to `.sysand` (#336)

### New features added

- support sysand add/remove PURL shorthand `publisher/name` (#354)
- add index management commands, since the index is now accessed in a different way from local environment (#335)
- support cloning local KPARs with `sysand clone` (#363)
- add installation scripts to install sysand with a single command (#370)
- add Dockerfile and automation to publish on/for releases, this is useful when publishing packages to an index in CI (#362)
- bundle LICENSES when building KPARs (#332)
- bundle CHANGELOG.md when building KPARs (#331)
- add Java bindings for writing .project.json and .meta.json (#349)

### Enhancements made

- Don’t update metadata by default when building projects, `--update-meta` can be used to still perform the update (#298)
- make built KPARs reproducible by setting OS/time metadata to fixed values (#372)
- Improve `sysand info` command output (#292)

### Bugs fixed

- remove old symbols from `index` in `.meta.json` if the same file is included multiple times (#359)

### Maintenance and upkeep improvements

- chore: transition from xz to gzip compression for `.tar` release assets (#369)
