v1.0.0

apfel v1.0.0 - First Stable Release

The free AI already on your Mac. apfel exposes Apple's on-device FoundationModels as a UNIX CLI, OpenAI-compatible server, and interactive chat.

What's new in 1.0.0

• Stable release contract: CLI flags, exit codes, API endpoints, and response schemas are now semver-protected (see STABILITY.md)
• Full release qualification: 362 unit tests + 157 integration tests (7 suites) run before every release
• Security policy: SECURITY.md with vulnerability reporting and supported version policy
• homebrew-core: brew install apfel - no tap needed
• Proper semver: local builds no longer auto-bump versions

Release qualification

• 362 unit tests passed
• 157 integration tests passed (7 suites, 0 skipped)
• Full test run on Apple Silicon with Apple Intelligence

v0.9.18

Automated release for v0.9.18

v0.9.17

What's new

OpenAPI conformance tests

8 new integration tests that validate apfel's HTTP responses against the official OpenAI API spec (vendored from openai/openai-openapi). Uses openapi-core for runtime schema validation — no manual schema maintenance. Covers: non-streaming completions, streaming chunks, models list, tool-call responses, error responses, and JSON mode.

Fixed: missing nullable fields in API responses

The conformance tests immediately caught 3 spec-required fields apfel was omitting:

• choices[].logprobs: null — OpenAI spec requires it even when not populated
• message.refusal: null — OpenAI spec requires it in all assistant messages
• message.content: null — OpenAI spec requires it even in tool-call responses where content is absent

These fields are now always emitted as null via custom Swift encode(to:) implementations that call encodeNil explicitly (Swift's synthesized Encodable omits nil optionals by default).

README: "The free AI already on your Mac."

The HN-winning, landing-page-proven framing is now the canonical opener in the README, the GitHub repo description, and CLAUDE.md. Also restored the full Demos section, rich MCP walkthrough, and OpenAI API compatibility table that were lost in the previous slim pass. New "The apfel tree" section listing the full ecosystem. #agentswelcome badge with probot logo.
