What's new

October 2026

The installer sets up your PATH, like rustup: new terminals find caravel with no export to add (--no-modify-path to opt out).
Caravel 0.2.0. Lanes in containers: runtime = "docker" runs the nodes, the relayer and Caddy from the release's images, on your machine or on a server, so a first lane needs Docker and the caravel CLI. Images for x86_64 and arm64 on ghcr.io. Infrastructure as code for the machine a lane runs on (Machines on Google Cloud). Caravel Perps runs this way on testnet.
Docs. This site.
Caravel 0.1.0, the first prebuilt release, with a one-line install for x86_64 and arm64 Linux and arm64 macOS.
Topology. Several hosts per deployment, validators run by others, signed requests to validators, several lanes on one host, and the web app's config from the lane file.
Chain resources. Declared accounts, tokens, contracts and local modules.
The resource graph. Every plan step has an address: --target, --replace, caravel graph, saved plans.
The lane file language. include, extends, vars, locals, for_each, expressions, attributes and outputs.
A real CLI. caravel for every template, with users' flows that wait for what they need.
