It’s release time! We’re happy to announce #Lix 2.94 “Açaí na tigela” is now available.
With this release, you’re getting bug fixes, performance tweaks and quality of life improvements, as well as our first steps towards Cap’n’proto based RPC.
An important note: Flakes turn even colder, as our implementation of them enters the freeze period.
For the full list of changes, check out our blog post! https://lix.systems/blog/2025-11-18-lix-2.94-release/

Sigh, so apparently Tom Berek of Steering Committee is now working for Anduril. You know, that same Anduril that caused an open letter denouncing MIC sponsoring community events. I don't see how it's acceptable for SC members to work for Anduril, especially in the wake of the whole, you know...
The failure to provide an update to his conflict of interest (and two SC members stating their personal opinions that they don't see much of an issue) is a breach of trust. This means, once again, that the community has to organize by themselves, and demand accountability from people in power. To this end, please spread this information far and wide, and give @nyanbinary a hug. And go support your local #Lix and #Aux representatives.
