Development Milestones

Pre-release history

Versions v1.0.0 through v1.6.0 were developed under the working name Forge before Canopy’s April 2026 rebrand. Canopy had no public customers during this period — these entries represent internal development milestones, not shipped releases to external customers. Read the rebrand story.

Pre-release

Canopy is in pre-release development. The milestones below are internal development progress — none of these versions are yet available for download or purchase. Join the waitlist to be notified when Canopy launches.

Development history for Canopy. Follows Keep a Changelog format. All versions use Semantic Versioning.

Versioning Policy

Canopy uses Semantic Versioning with the following interpretation:

Bump	When
Patch (x.y.Z)	Bug fixes, performance improvements, dependency updates. No behavior change.
Minor (x.Y.0)	New features, new commands, new capabilities. Backward-compatible.
Major (X.0.0)	Breaking changes to any public interface (MCP tool signatures, CLI flags, plugin YAML schema, config format).
