Breaking Changes

●Issue #1

The executable structure has changed: the 'completion' and 'bench' commands have been hidden, and a 'help' command was added, likely due to the introduction of the llama unified executable.

●Issue #2

The use of '-lib' targets has been replaced with '-impl' targets in build configurations.

Migration Steps

  1. 1
    If using command-line tools, note that 'completion' and 'bench' commands are hidden, and check for the new 'help' command.
  2. 2
    Update build scripts to use '-impl' targets instead of '-lib' targets.

Release Summary

This release introduces a unified llama executable for the application and standardizes server operations using the 'serve' command. Build targets have been updated, and a revert restored previous STATIC behavior.
