We're pleased to announce the release of Kwil v0.9, codenamed ZDT (Zero Downtime). This major update introduces important features that enhance how decentralized networks can evolve and scale while maintaining continuous service and robust data privacy.

Zero Downtime Network Migrations – The Upgrade Your Network Deserves

The primary focus of this release is our zero downtime network migration capability. As networks like idOS and Truflation expand, they require the ability to iterate efficiently without disrupting user experiences. ZDT facilitates this, enabling networks to implement significant changes while maintaining legacy APIs for smooth user transitions. 

ZDT Provides a Hassle-Free Upgrade Experience

ZDT allows you to launch a new network prior to terminating your existing network. Why is that a win?

1. Networks no longer need to coordinate the precise time at which upgrades occur
2. Kwil network users (e.g., applications, individuals, etc.) can update their clients at their leisure.
3. Pre-PMF Web3 products can rapidly iterate while continuing to build on a foundation for robust decentralization.

Kwil v0.9 Brings Powerful New Capabilities to the Table

The ZDT release represents a significant improvement in decentralized network management. In addition to the Zero-downtime migration feature, Kwil v0.9 ships with a host of new capabilities:

1. Data Privacy Modes: Improve the security and confidentiality of your network's data by limiting which nodes and users can sync data.
2. Kwil Testing Framework: Improve the robustness and reliability of your network with a new testing framework.
3. Whitelabel Binaries: Customize your network's appearance and branding under your project’s name.
4. Expanded Kuneiform functionality: Powerful new functions and syntax improvements
