Release Overview
Curated overview of releases across Bare's building-block and helper modules—breaking changes, removals, and additions.
A curated record of changes across Bare's runtime and ecosystem modules, newest first. For the raw upstream record, see each module's GitHub releases; this page is the docs-team view of what the changes mean for your application.

2026-09-14 — Bare v1.33.0
- Added: an embedder context API, letting the embedder pass state through to deferred
new Addon()calls. - Changed:
bare-moduleis bumped to v7, so the module system no longer carries its own file system read capability—the embedder must pass one in. See the threat model for what this changes. - Changed:
resolutionsandimportsare no longer read frommodule.
2026-09-07 — Bare v1.32.0
- Added:
Bare.Addon.seal(), letting an embedder permanently drop the addon-loading capability of a process after loading a trusted set of addons—so any JavaScript that runs afterward can't bring in new native code.
2026-08-04 — Bare v1.31.0
- Deprecated:
Addon.cache,Addon.resolve(specifier), andAddon.load(url), in favor ofnew Addon(url).bare-modulev7 will use the new API to take over addon resolution, initialization, and caching.
2026-07-01 — Bare v1.30.0
- Added: TypeScript module support.
- Changed: module caches are isolated; addon resolution now relies only on
bare-module's public API.
Patch releases in this window (dependency bumps, prebuild updates) and Bare's ecosystem modules (bare-buffer, bare-http1, bare-inspect, etc.) aren't covered yet—that backfill is in progress as a separate effort across Bare, P2P, and Pear. See each module's GitHub releases for the raw upstream record in the meantime.
