## Improved Repository Timings

There has been a huge improvement in initialising larger repositories. This was, unfortunately, due to `libgit2` being a lot slower than `git` when performing file protocol push and fetches (thanks for [creating an issue](https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/2836) 10 years ago Linus).

## Better `rad sync` Output

There has been a concerted effort to improve the fetching and announcing output when using `rad sync`. This also helped us improve `rad clone` which should not include many error messages, while also succeeding.

## Breaking Changes

No breaking changes, as far as we are aware. Please report any issues via Radicle or message us on [Zulip](radicle.zulipchat.com).

## General Improvements

### CLI

- Output JSON lines for `rad cob`
- Allow showing multiple COBs at once
- Improvements to help documentation
- The full set of actions for patches are now available via `rad patch`
- Better error context when `ssh-agent` connection fails
- The remote helper will print `git range-diff`s when creating new patch revisions
- `rad seed` and `rad unseed` can now take multiple RIDs
- `rad cob [create | update]` have been added
- `rad config schema` for emitting a JSONSchema of the configuration
- Better syntax highlighting
- `rad cob show` handles broken pipes
- Avoiding obtaining a signer when it is not necessary
- Print node addresses when syncing

### Library

- Patch revisions can now be labelled and resolve comments
- Issues can be listed by status
- Extend the set of emojis that are supported
- Provide an API to do a reverse lookup from aliases to NIDs
- Use `signals_receipts` crate for improved signal handling
- Integrate more up-to-date Gitoxide crates
- Ensuring an MSRV of 1.81
