Full changelog
childflow 0.8.1
This release focuses on internal refactoring and maintainability improvements across childflow while preserving the existing user-facing behavior.
The goal of this release is to make the codebase easier to extend, test, and review after the feature growth introduced in earlier releases.
Highlights
- Refactored large modules across the codebase into smaller, responsibility-focused submodules
- Improved separation of concerns in rootless / rootful networking, sandbox policy handling, capture, reporting, namespace setup, proxying, and test support code
- Reorganized integration and unit tests so future feature work can be added with less friction
- Kept behavior stable and validated the refactor with a full Docker-based test run
Changed
- Split large modules under
src/network/rootless_internal/andsrc/network/rootful/into clearer module trees - Refined internal structure for:
reportsummarydoctorpreflightprofilednscaptureflow_logtproxysandbox
- Reworked
tests/rootless_proxy.rssupport and scenario files into smaller test modules for better maintainability - Reduced the size of several high-traffic internal files so networking, policy, and reporting paths are easier to inspect and evolve
Validation
- Full Docker test suite passed:
cargo test -- --nocapture
- Test result:
150unit / integration tests passed34rootless_proxytests passed9environment-gated tests remain ignored by design
Notes
- This release is primarily an internal quality and maintainability release
- No intentional user-facing breaking changes were introduced
