Released on July 14, 2026

This release adds index URL templates, which enables using a GitLab  
repository as a package index directly, whereas previously this required using  
GitLab pages. See URL templates  
[reference](https://docs.staging.sysand.com/client/reference/configuration/indexes/#url-templates) and [example Sysand index  
GitLab repository](https://gitlab.com/sensmetry/public/sysand-private-index)  
for details.

### New features added

- feat: support URL templates for index locations (`{path}` / `{path_raw}`) [#440](https://github.com/sensmetry/sysand/pull/440)

### Enhancements made

- bindings: small improvements to Python API [#411](https://github.com/sensmetry/sysand/pull/411)
- kpar: write pretty-printed `.project.json` and `.meta.json` to the kpar [#434](https://github.com/sensmetry/sysand/pull/434)

The previous few releases did not have their own posts, so they’re included here:

## v0.1.5 - 2026-07-02

The main change in this release is support for  
[trusted publishing](https://docs.staging.sysand.com/index/how-to/set-up-trusted-publishing/),  
for `sysand publish`. By default, supported CI environments, currently GitHub  
Actions and GitLab CI including Enterprise or self-managed provider domains,  
use trusted publishing automatically before falling back to  
`SYSAND_CRED_<x>_BEARER_TOKEN`. In other environments, publishing works as  
before. Trusted publishing can be configured via the `--trusted-publishing`  
flag on `sysand publish`. See `sysand publish --help` for more information.

### New features added

- feat: add --trusted-publishing=auto flag to sysand publish [#420](https://github.com/sensmetry/sysand/pull/420)

### Enhancements made

- feat: sign and attest provenance of published container images [#423](https://github.com/sensmetry/sysand/pull/423)
- feat: use consistent path canonicalization everywhere, most relevant on Windows [#414](https://github.com/sensmetry/sysand/pull/414)

### Maintenance and upkeep improvements

- feat: validate paths consistently for lockfile and publishing [#419](https://github.com/sensmetry/sysand/pull/419)

## v0.1.4 - 2026-06-16

This release contains a fix for a bug that could truncate large metadata files  
when building a KPAR.

`sysand build` for large projects and `sysand include` when many files are  
provided are now much faster.

`sysand publish` now checks more requirements locally, instead of relying on  
the server, which results in somewhat nicer and more actionable error messages.

### Enhancements made

- feat: improve performance of include, build and exclude [#406](https://github.com/sensmetry/sysand/pull/406)
- feat: perform most of KPAR pre-publish checks before publishing [#400](https://github.com/sensmetry/sysand/pull/400)

## v0.1.3 - 2026-06-12

This release includes a single fix for a bug that could incorrectly report  
the offending file in case `.project.json` or `.meta.json` failed to parse.

### Bugs fixed

- fix: don’t hardcode file name in error [#399](https://github.com/sensmetry/sysand/pull/399)

## v0.1.2 - 2026-06-11

This release includes only packaging and installation script improvements.  
Notably, we now provide a static Linux build with musl libc, and have  
lowered glibc requirement for non-musl from 2.39 to 2.35.

The installation scripts are now configured via environment variables  
instead of flags, so automation using them (e.g. CI) needs to be  
updated. The scripts are hosted at:

- macOS/Linux: [https://sysand.com/install.sh](https://sysand.com/install.sh)
- Windows: [https://sysand.com/install.ps1](https://sysand.com/install.ps1)

See [installation instructions](https://docs.sysand.com/client/getting-started/installation/) to install sysand.

See [the changelog](https://docs.sysand.com/client/reference/changelog/#v0-1-6-2026-07-14) for all changes.
