2025

v1.0.4 (2025-11-07)

Features

• The new lunar clear-cache command resets the CLI's local caches.
• Collectors and policies that specify an image in their configuration now run inside Docker containers, including when run locally with lunar collector dev and lunar policy dev; Docker must be available for containerized dev runs. See Containerized script execution.
• The new lunar sql connection-string command prints the PostgreSQL connection string for the SQL API.
• The new lunar sql refresh command rebuilds the materialized tables behind the SQL API.

Improvements

• Cached repository clones now check for upstream updates instead of serving stale content.
• lunar collector dev now merges the component JSON deltas if there are multiple collections, mirroring how the Hub merges them; disable with --merge=false.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue with searching parent directories for lunar-config.yml.
• GitHub tokens are now refreshed automatically for cached repository clones; previously, cached git directories could be left with expired tokens.

v1.0.3 (2025-09-23)

Features

• A new --verbose flag on lunar collector dev and lunar policy dev prints the script's own output alongside the command's results.
• Hub connection settings can now be defined under a hub section in lunar-config.yml; the CLI resolves connection settings with flags taking precedence over environment variables, which take precedence over the config file.

Improvements

• Script dependencies are installed ahead of execution for all runtimes, with improved locking, making collector and policy runs faster and more reliable.
• lunar collector dev and lunar policy dev reuse previously cloned repositories and installed configurations between runs, making repeated runs much faster; a new --no-cache flag forces a fresh clone and install.
• lunar policy dev formats check results as a list instead of a table.
• lunar hub run-code-collectors accepts --pr-max-age-days and --include-pr-commits, matching lunar hub pull; the flag replaces the previous --max-age-days/-m.
• Collector and policy scripts run with a defined working directory and receive the LUNAR_PLUGIN_ROOT environment variable pointing at their plugin's root.

Bug fixes

• File permissions and symlinks are preserved when plugin files are copied during installation.

v1.0.2 (2025-09-04)

Bug fixes

• Releases include the macOS (Apple silicon) binary again; it was missing from the v1.0.1 release.

v1.0.1 (2025-09-03)

Improvements

• Collector and policy scripts now have a Lunar-managed bin directory on their PATH, configurable via the LUNAR_BIN_DIR environment variable — install a custom binary there and scripts can invoke it directly.

v1.0.0 (2025-09-03)

Features

Initial public release

The lunar CLI and the CI/CD Tracer binary are now publicly distributed through GitHub releases on earthly/lunar-dist. This first release ships lunar for Linux (amd64) and macOS (Apple silicon), plus the CI/CD Tracer (lunar-ci-agent) for Linux (amd64).

The CLI provides commands for developing and testing collectors and policies locally (lunar collector dev, lunar policy dev), inspecting Component JSON (lunar component get-json), submitting data out of band (lunar collect), and administering the Hub configuration (lunar hub pull). The CI/CD Tracer instruments existing CI pipelines to collect SDLC metadata without workflow YAML changes.
