# Release notes

> Customer-visible changes in each aiAxonIQ release candidate, newest first — what changed for you, and how releases are named during the private beta.

These notes list the changes in each aiAxonIQ release that you can see or that
change how the product behaves for you. Changes to our own operations — how we
deploy, back up and monitor the service — are left out unless they affect you.

## How releases work during the beta

aiAxonIQ is in **private beta**. Accounts are created by invitation rather than
by public sign-up — see [Create your account](/get-started/accounts).

Releases are named as **release candidates** for version 1.0.0:
`v1.0.0-rc.1`, `v1.0.0-rc.2` and so on. Each number is a later build than the one
before it. The name says that version 1.0.0 itself has not been declared yet.

<Note>
  **Your organization may not be on the newest release yet.** The notes below
  describe what each release contains. They do not say when your deployment
  received it. If you need to know which release you are using, ask your account
  contact.
</Note>

<Info>
  **What is not listed.** Some release candidates contained only internal
  changes and have no entry here. Work that has not been released yet is not
  listed until it is.

## v1.0.0-rc.15 — 7 August 2026

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Zero-code instrumentation, in the product" icon="wand-magic-sparkles" defaultOpen>
    The eBPF zero-code agent — upstream OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation,
    unmodified — is now part of the product:

    * A **Zero-code** page lists the hosts running the agent and shows how to
      install it. The list is built from the telemetry the agent already sends,
      so it includes agents installed before the page existed.
    * **Get started** offers zero-code as an install option, with the Docker and
      Kubernetes forms filled in with your endpoint and key.

    Host health is worked out from how recently a host sent data, and the page
    says so. A host serving no traffic looks the same as one whose agent was
    removed. There are no start, stop or upgrade controls, because the agent has
    no control channel.

    The agent is **early access**. See
    [Zero-code instrumentation](/zero-code/overview).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Documentation" icon="book">
    The documentation was expanded to cover much more of the product. The
    [API reference](/api-reference/introduction) is now generated from the
    routes the API actually serves, with internal operations removed.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## v1.0.0-rc.14 — 6 August 2026

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="One bad metric value no longer loses a whole batch" icon="chart-line" defaultOpen>
    A metrics payload containing a single `NaN` or infinite value used to be
    rejected with HTTP `400`, losing every other data point in it. Prometheus
    reports `NaN` routinely — for example, a summary with no recent
    observations — so pointing a Collector at Prometheus could fail outright.

    Now the non-finite values are dropped and the rest of the payload is stored.
    As little as possible is dropped: a bad quantile loses that quantile, not the
    data point. A missing value is **not** stored as zero, so a chart never shows
    a latency of `0` that was never measured.

    This applies to every path that accepts metrics, including Prometheus
    remote-write.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## v1.0.0-rc.11 — 1 August 2026

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Team invitations contain a working link" icon="envelope" defaultOpen>
    When an admin invited a teammate, the email could contain a link that did
    not open. Invitation emails now link to your aiAxonIQ address.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## v1.0.0-rc.10 — 31 July 2026

Maintenance release. No change to product features.

## v1.0.0-rc.9 — 31 July 2026

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="This documentation site" icon="book-open" defaultOpen>
    The first version of this documentation site: getting started, sending data
    with OpenTelemetry, the Collector, zero-code and Prometheus remote-write,
    platform guides, product guides and support pages.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Correct ingest endpoint everywhere" icon="plug">
    Some public pages still named an old ingest address that no longer resolves.
    Every customer-facing page now gives the working endpoint. See
    [Endpoints and errors](/send-data/endpoints) for the address to use.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## v1.0.0-rc.7 — 29 July 2026

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Invitation and password-reset links" icon="envelope" defaultOpen>
    Private-beta invitation emails and password-reset emails could contain a
    link that did not open. They now point at your aiAxonIQ address.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="No sign-up links while sign-up is closed" icon="door-closed">
    While public sign-up is closed, the product no longer shows links inviting
    you to sign up.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## v1.0.0-rc.6 — 29 July 2026

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Get started" icon="rocket" defaultOpen>
    An in-product setup flow: create a license key, find your OTLP endpoint,
    copy an install snippet for how you run software, and see your first
    telemetry arrive. Each step is marked done by checking the thing itself —
    a key exists, data has arrived — rather than by remembering a click. See
    [Choose your onboarding path](/onboarding/overview).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Private-beta invitations" icon="envelope-open-text">
    New organizations are created by invitation. The owner receives a link,
    sets a password, and lands in Get started. The link is handled in the
    browser, so an email security scanner that fetches it does not use it up.
    See [Create your account](/get-started/accounts).
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## v1.0.0-rc.5 — 29 July 2026

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The playground" icon="circle-play" defaultOpen>
    The public playground is complete: a workspace with telemetry already in it,
    to explore without an account. See
    [Try it in the playground](/get-started/playground).
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## v1.0.0-rc.4 — 27 July 2026

Maintenance release. No change to product features.

## v1.0.0-rc.3 — 27 July 2026

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="OTLP/protobuf metrics are accepted" icon="chart-line" defaultOpen>
    Some valid OTLP metric payloads sent as protobuf — the default format for
    OpenTelemetry SDKs and the Collector — were rejected with HTTP `400`. Because
    a `400` is not retried, those data points were lost. All five OTLP metric
    types are now accepted.
  </Accordion>
