September 2025 saw a focused set of business-value deliveries in Kamu CLI (kamu-data/kamu-cli). Key features include a GraphQL Auth::relations() API with batching and pagination for efficient ReBAC triplet queries and easier auth debugging, and case-insensitive GraphQL search for GQL::Search::query() to improve dataset lookups across alias/ID case. Performance was enhanced through system-wide optimizations including vectorized data retrieval, metadata chain iteration refinements, and dataset-kind aware visitors, yielding faster pull/push cycles across repositories. A critical stability fix addressed a race condition in DependencyGraphImmediateListener with refined message processing and improved authorization handling. Finally, CI, release, and maintenance improvements (including ARM builds, ringbuf upgrades, migrations, and version bumps) supported smoother releases and broader deployment.
