Summary

  • add comprehensive release notes for the independent baml_language 0.17.0 release line
  • separate user-facing features, breaking and compatibility changes, fixes, performance work, and internal changes
  • synchronize the canary version, SDK packages, bridge runtime identities, generated Node loader guards, and VS Code extension to 0.17.0

Verified comparison range

The product range contains 43 monorepo commits. The notes cover every merged PR in the range that touched baml_language/, plus the baml_language-specific macOS test suppression and binary-size baseline workflow update. The post-#4424 review added #4427, #4431, #4432, #4433, #4434, #4103, and #4435. #3975 and #3510 are in the monorepo comparison but are excluded because they change only the main engine/docs release line. Other unrelated documentation, website, JetBrains, on-call, and general monorepo changes are also excluded. The five commits in this PR add and refine the changelog and mechanically prepare release metadata; they do not add product behavior beyond the reviewed target.

Release safety

This PR remains draft. Its baml_language/release.toml change is the documented canary release request: merging it to canary after green CI would dispatch the production 0.17.0 release workflow. Do not merge or mark ready until Sam explicitly approves the release.

No package was published, no release tag was created or pushed, no artifact was uploaded, and no production release workflow was triggered during preparation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release updates BAML from 0.16.0 to 0.17.0 across release configuration, language metadata, SDK bridges, package manifests, and the VS Code extension. It also adds the 0.17.0 changelog to the markdown whitelist.

Changes

BAML 0.17.0 Release

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release changelog and whitelist
baml_language/.markdown-whitelist, baml_language/CHANGELOG.md
The changelog documents the 0.17.0 release, including features, compatibility changes, fixes, and sorting updates. The whitelist includes CHANGELOG.md.
Core release version configuration
baml_language/crates/baml_version/src/lib.rs, baml_language/release.toml
The language version constants and canary release configuration now use 0.17.0.
SDK and extension version propagation
baml_language/sdks/*, typescript2/app-vscode-ext/package.json
Bridge runtime identities and package manifests now use 0.17.0. The Go bridge retains the v prefix for its runtime version.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 17cc5

This PR prepares the baml_language 0.17.0 release, but the published release notes may be empty because the workflow heading check does not match the changelog heading, and a minor formatting defect remains. Merge should wait for these release-note issues to be corrected or explicitly accepted.

Possibly related PRs

  • BoundaryML/baml#4368: Updates the same release and SDK version identifiers for a successive canary release.
  • BoundaryML/baml#3950: Performs a coordinated BAML release version bump across shared metadata and SDK packages.

Poem

A rabbit checks each version sign,
“Zero seventeen” now aligns.

Make the release heading match the release workflow extractor.

The workflow compares $2 with [${version}]. In this heading, $2 is [0.17.0](...), so the comparison fails and the release produces an empty CHANGELOG.txt. Update the extractor to match the ## [version] prefix before merging baml_language/release.toml.

Proposed workflow fix
- awk '/^## \[/{if (p) exit; if ($2 == "[${{ needs.determine-version.outputs.version_string }}]") p=1} p' CHANGELOG.md

@coderabbitai This finding does not apply to the baml_language release line. The cited extractor is in .github/workflows/release.yml, reads the root CHANGELOG.md, and belongs to the main BAML toolchain release path. This PR intentionally does not modify that release line. The independent language release uses .github/workflows/release-baml-language.yml; its publish-toolchain-release job currently creates the GitHub release with generic --notes "BAML language toolchain $VERSION" and never parses baml_language/CHANGELOG.md, so the linked heading cannot produce an empty changelog there. I am leaving the main workflow unchanged as out of scope. Whether to wire baml_language/CHANGELOG.md into the language release workflow is a separate consequential release-process choice for Sam before merge.

@sxlijin Confirmed. .github/workflows/release.yml extracts the root CHANGELOG.md. .github/workflows/release-baml-language.yml uses the fixed --notes "BAML language toolchain $VERSION" text and does not parse baml_language/CHANGELOG.md.

The finding does not apply to this PR. I withdraw it.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for the separate decision to publish baml_language/CHANGELOG.md in language release notes?

Learning: The independent `baml_language` release line uses `.github/workflows/release-baml-language.yml`. Its `publish-toolchain-release` job creates GitHub releases with generic `--notes "BAML language toolchain $VERSION"` and does not parse `baml_language/CHANGELOG.md`. The root `.github/workflows/release.yml` extracts release notes from the root `CHANGELOG.md` and is part of the main BAML toolchain release path.
