# BRIK64 Release Notes

> Public release notes, changelog and update policy for BRIK64.

BRIK64 release notes track what is available, how users should install or update it, and which workflow each release supports.

The current public release surface is CLI-first. Install the CLI from the public installer, verify the resolved version locally, and use the GitHub Releases page for the public release record.

## Current Public Beta

BRIK64 CLI `0.1.0-beta.18.2` is the current public beta. Verify `brik64 --version` after install for the active shell.

## Release Entry Shape

Each public release entry should be easy to index:

| Field         | Purpose                                                                    |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Channel       | CLI beta, documentation, future general release, or future platform/cloud. |
| Date          | Publication date for the public note.                                      |
| Availability  | What users can install, read or use now.                                   |
| Changed       | Product-level changes, not private implementation notes.                   |
| Update action | The command or reading path users should follow.                           |
| Scope         | The public workflow supported by the release.                              |
| Limits        | Boundaries that matter for users and agents.                               |

## Update Model

The local update path is the public installer plus the GitHub Releases page. Platform features are documented only when a release provides the access model and evidence behavior.
