TokenPak

Release

TokenPak v1.18.0

v1.18.0 · Aug 3, 2026

First release under the consolidated release model: the public repository, website, and documentation now update at minor and major releases only, and each release summarizes every change since the previous public version.

Added

  • Recipe library. An OSS recipe collection ships under recipes/ with its runtime support, giving common optimization setups ready-made starting points.
  • Public optimization contracts. The tokenpak.core.contracts surface grows a full set of optimization, cache, compression, fidelity, and Pak data contracts, with the TIP surface aligned to them.
  • Vector-database companion package (packages/tokenpak-vectordb) plus telemetry and SDK surface extensions.
  • Pak wire markers. Compression output and the tool surface are branded with [PAK …] wire markers (legacy markers remain readable), and the token estimator is disclosed in companion output.
  • pak create emits the canonical Pak schema, and pak migrate upgrades legacy payloads to it.
  • Vault-injection master switch, default OFF: enabling context injection is an explicit decision (TOKENPAK_VAULT_INJECTION), never a surprise.

Changed

  • The quickstart takes a protocol-first shape, and configuration surfaces align with the shipped documentation state.

Removed

  • tokenpak.proxy.server_async leaves the declared public surface: the async server was experimental and the package no longer implies it is ready. The supported server path is unchanged.
