Stable milestone

routerd ships frequently using the vYYYYMMDD.HHmm scheme. From those builds we pick a production-recommended release at each milestone. For a new deployment, start with the version listed here and pin the release tag in automation.

Current recommended release

Item	Value
Version	v20260914.0729
Status	Current production-recommended stable release
Release page	v20260914.0729
Track record	Release CI passed; official ISO rollout reported successful on 10 routers, plus two home routers updated from official archives. See validation scope below.
Binary	Statically linked (CGO_ENABLED=0), published as fixed-name and versioned archives

Validation scope

The operator promoted v20260914.0729 after official-release rollout reports:

• Ten ISO routers: BGP, runtime doctor, service state and bidirectional SAM ICMP/TCP passed; API HTTP stayed successful during VRRP switching. Evidence: docs/routerd-v20260914.0729-rollout-log.md, Forgejo commit 317fb30.
• Two home routers: VIP, DHCP, DNS, four DS-Lite paths and native nDPI checked; client HTTPS 360/360, doctor fail=0. Evidence: evidence-20260914-release0729/result.md.
• Candidate fault-injection evidence covers isolated Linux netns observation failures and publication history retention.

These are operator-reported results, not a new AWS/Azure/OCI qualification. Initial ISO-update packet loss recovered by the test 15 seconds later; an earlier candidate's single DNS timeout remains unexplained. Do not interpret the milestone as zero packet loss throughout every upgrade. Existing rollback ISOs were retained.

Install the stable release

Use the fixed tag URL when you want the recommended stable build:

curl -LO https://github.com/imksoo/routerd/releases/download/v20260914.0729/routerd-linux-amd64.tar.gz
curl -LO https://github.com/imksoo/routerd/releases/download/v20260914.0729/routerd-linux-amd64.tar.gz.sha256
sha256sum -c routerd-linux-amd64.tar.gz.sha256
tar -xzf routerd-linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo ./install.sh

Versioned archives are also published on the same release page, for example routerd-v20260914.0729-linux-amd64.tar.gz.

Previous stable milestone

Previous stable v20260707.1514 passed the historical AWS/Azure/OCI/PVE redundant topology (matrix 56/56, provider convergence 4s, dataplane convergence 567s, cleanup state 0). Those results belong to that release, not this one.

v20260627.1533 was the prior production-recommended stable release. It passed a cost-bounded AWS/Azure/OCI/PVE single-topology baseline after the PVE ISO substrate was corrected: convergence 136s, matrix 12/12, all leaf MobilityPools Ready, provider pending/failed 0, cleanup state 0. It remains a valid rollback candidate for operators who need that exact milestone, but new deployments should start with v20260914.0729.

Known observations

• The API is still v1alpha1. A stable milestone means this build is production-quality; it does not promise backward-compatible resource schemas.
• Upgrade configs against the new schema. Do not rely on migration shims. Review the per-release deltas in the changelog.
• routerctl doctor mgmt SKIPs when no ManagementAccess is declared. This is a live-config choice, not a release defect.
