# Changelog

New updates and improvements

### Overview

The HPEC Changelog records **meaningful network evolution**, not cosmetic updates.

Because HPEC is **governance-driven infrastructure**, changes are:

* Intentional
* Backward-aware
* Announced through governance, not marketing

> If something appears here, it **matters to operators, services, or governance**.

***

### Versioning Philosophy

HPEC does **not** follow traditional semantic versioning.

Instead:

* Changes are grouped by **network phase**
* Governance decisions may introduce breaking changes
* Stability is enforced through policy, not version numbers

***

### Network Milestones

#### CMHPEC Network — Genesis Phase

**Initial Public Network Formation**

**Introduced**

* CMHPEC secure mesh
* Autonomous node bootstrap
* Zero-dashboard participation model
* Governance-controlled onboarding
* Worker-only K3s agent deployment
* Declarative node labeling

**Notes**

* Nodes join using a single bootstrap operation
* No operator credentials stored locally
* Network authority remains DAO-controlled

***

#### Services Layer — Early Availability

**Introduced**

* ANaaS (Agent Nodes as a Service)
* AaaS (Appliance as a Service)
* Autonomous service execution model
* Provider-declared service capabilities

**Notes**

* Services execute without operator intervention
* SLA enforcement handled at the network layer
* Economic incentives defined by governance

***

#### Governance & DAO — Foundation

**Introduced**

* Governance-controlled network access
* Node Operator Authority (NOA)
* Compliance-based participation
* Policy-driven evolution

**Notes**

* Governance supersedes individual operator control
* Network behavior can evolve via DAO decisions

***

### Breaking Changes

Breaking changes are:

* Rare
* Governance-approved
* Announced in advance

When breaking changes occur, they will be clearly labeled here along with:

* Impact scope
* Migration guidance
* Grace periods (when applicable)

***

### Deprecations

Deprecated features or behaviors remain functional until:

* Governance sunset vote
* Network migration is completed
* Security or stability requires removal

Deprecated items will be listed with:

* Reason for deprecation
* Recommended replacement
* Removal timeline

***

### Security Updates

Security-relevant changes may be:

* Documented with limited detail
* Applied automatically
* Enforced without operator action

This is intentional.

Network integrity takes priority over disclosure granularity.

***

### Summary

* The changelog reflects **network reality**
* Governance determines evolution
* Stability is policy-driven
* Operators are protected from silent changes

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hyper-performance-edge-computing.gitbook.io/hyper-performance-edge-computing-hpec-dao-docs/changelog/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
