 # Changelog

+## [v0.9.0] - 2026-08-31 "Полные Path/Git-зависимости и готовые библиотеки / Complete Path/Git Dependencies & Prebuilt Libraries"
+
+### RU
+
+**Добавлено:**
+
+- **Зеркала загрузок в `dcrup`** — `--mirror auto|cf|gh|sf|ya` и `DCRUP_MIRROR`.
+  По умолчанию `auto`: **cf → gh → sf → ya** (CloudFlare CDN, GitHub, SourceForge, Yandex CDN).
+- **Полные Path/Git-зависимости** — DCR-пакеты из `path` и `git` собираются перед потребителем; Git-код кешируется в `~/.dcr/git`, поддерживает `branch`/`tag`/`rev` и фиксирует точный commit в `dcr.lock`.
+- **Транзитивные зависимости и защита от циклов** — DCR рекурсивно собирает DCR-пакеты и показывает цепочку циклической зависимости.
+- **Внешние готовые библиотеки через path/Git** — `include`, `lib` и `libs` подключают библиотеку без `dcr.toml`; Git prebuilt-источники тоже фиксируются по точному commit.
+- **Явный режим зависимости** — `mode = "build"` и `mode = "prebuild"` позволяют выбрать сборку DCR-пакета или подключение готовых артефактов, даже когда репозиторий содержит оба варианта.
+
+**Удалено:**
+
+- **`install.sh` / `install.ps1` / `install_bsd.sh`** — устарели, заменены `dcrup`.
+
+### EN
+
+**Added:**
+
+- **Download mirrors in `dcrup`** — `--mirror auto|cf|gh|sf|ya` and `DCRUP_MIRROR`.
+  Default `auto` tries **cf → gh → sf → ya** (CloudFlare CDN, GitHub, SourceForge, Yandex CDN).
+- **Complete Path/Git dependencies** — DCR packages from `path` and `git` are built before their consumer; Git sources are cached in `~/.dcr/git`, support `branch`/`tag`/`rev`, and lock the exact commit in `dcr.lock`.
+- **Transitive dependencies and cycle protection** — DCR recursively builds DCR packages and reports the dependency cycle chain.
+- **Prebuilt external libraries through path/Git** — `include`, `lib`, and `libs` link libraries without `dcr.toml`; Git prebuilt sources are locked to their exact commit as well.
+- **Explicit dependency mode** — `mode = "build"` and `mode = "prebuild"` select DCR package builds or ready-made artifacts when a repository contains both forms.
+
+**Removed:**
+
+- **`install.sh` / `install.ps1` / `install_bsd.sh`** — superseded by `dcrup`.

+## Repository Mirrors
+
+The primary repository is hosted on GitHub. Source and release mirrors:
+
+| Region | Mirror | Contents |
+|---|---|---|
+| Worldwide | [GitHub](https://github.com/dexoron/dcr) | Source code and releases |
+| Worldwide | [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/dcr-tool/) | Source code and releases |
+| Russia | [GitVerse](https://gitverse.ru/dcr_labs/dcr) | Source code |
+| Russia | [SourceCraft](https://sourcecraft.dev/dexoron-dev/dcr) | Source code |
+
+Release CDN (used by `dcrup`):
+
+| Code | Host | Role |
+|---|---|---|
+| `cf` | [cdn-global.dcr-tool.ru](https://cdn-global.dcr-tool.ru) (CloudFlare) | Worldwide CDN |
+| `gh` | GitHub Releases | Primary host |
+| `sf` | SourceForge | Worldwide fallback |
+| `ya` | [cdn-ru.dcr-tool.ru](https://cdn-ru.dcr-tool.ru) (Yandex) | Paid RU fallback for restrictions |
+
+`dcrup install` defaults to `--mirror auto` and tries **cf → gh → sf → ya**. Override with `--mirror cf|gh|sf|ya` or `DCRUP_MIRROR`.
+
+---
+
+## VS Code Extension
+
+Install the recommended [DCR extension by Dexoron-Labs](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Dexoron-Labs.dcr) for VS Code. Do not install Microsoft C/C++ extensions for DCR projects; DCR uses `clangd` instead. If you need debugging with Microsoft's debugger, use MS C/C++ only for its debugger component.
+
+Recommended companion extensions:
+
+- [Even Better TOML](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tamasfe.even-better-toml)
+- [CodeLLDB](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vadimcn.vscode-lldb), or MS C/C++ for debugger support only

 # Changelog

+## 0.9.0 (2026-08-31) 
+
+- **Download mirrors in `dcrup`** — `--mirror auto|cf|gh|sf|ya` and `DCRUP_MIRROR`.
+  Default `auto` tries **cf → gh → sf → ya** (CloudFlare CDN, GitHub, SourceForge, Yandex CDN).
+- **Complete Path/Git dependencies** — DCR packages from `path` and `git` are built before their consumer. Git sources are cached in `~/.dcr/git`, support `branch`/`tag`/`rev`, and record the exact commit in `dcr.lock`.
+- **Build and prebuild modes** — `path` and `git` dependencies can build a DCR package from `dcr.toml` or link existing `include`/`lib`/`libs` artifacts; `mode = "build"` / `"prebuild"` selects explicitly when both forms are present.
+- **Prebuilt dependency examples** — documentation now shows the `dcr-math-lib` Git repository and recommended build/prebuilt layouts for both `git` and `path`.
+- **Transitive dependency builds and cycle reporting** — DCR recursively builds DCR packages and reports a clear dependency chain for cycles.
+- **Bare path arguments for `dcr add`** — `dcr add mylib ../mylib` now works in addition to the explicit `path:` form.
+- **Removed `install.sh` / `install.ps1` / `install_bsd.sh`** — superseded by `dcrup`.

-Git dependencies are parsed and recorded in `dcr.lock`. DCR supports specifying branch/tag/rev for git sources:
+Git dependencies are cloned into `~/.dcr/git/`; their exact checked-out commit is written to `dcr.lock`.
+
+Both Git and path dependencies have two modes:
+
+- **DCR package:** the source has `dcr.toml`. DCR builds it before the consumer and uses the package name from its manifest for linking.
+- **Prebuilt library:** it provides existing headers and binaries through `include`, `lib`, and `libs`. DCR passes them to the compiler/linker without building the dependency.
+
+The mode is normally detected automatically. Use `mode = "build"` or `mode = "prebuild"` when a source contains both a manifest and prebuilt artifacts and you need to choose explicitly.
+

-Local paths. DCR automatically discovers include and lib directories from the neighbor's `dcr.toml`.
+Local paths may point at a DCR package or a prebuilt external library. A path DCR package is built before its consumer, including its own path/git dependencies. DCR detects dependency cycles. A prebuilt library is never built by DCR; it is linked from the directories declared in its dependency entry.

-*Note: Header resolution automatically checks the packaged `target/include` directory of path dependencies, ensuring consumer packages can find headers from compiled static or dynamic libraries.*
+For DCR packages, the package name from `dcr.toml` is used for linking (so the dependency key may differ from the library name). Header resolution includes the packaged `target/include` directory and link search includes `target/lib`.
+
+### Recommended library layouts
+
+Buildable DCR library:
+
+```text
+dcr-math-lib/
+├── dcr.toml
+└── src/
+    ├── dcr_math.c
+    └── dcr_math.h

+├── include/
+│   └── dcr_math.h
+└── lib/
+    └── libdcr-math.a       # or .so / .lib
+```
+
+`libs` contains linker names without the `lib` prefix and file extension: use
+`["dcr-math"]` for `libdcr-math.a`.
+
+If one repository contains both forms, keep the prebuilt files in `include/` and `lib/` and select the mode explicitly:

+```
+
+For a local copy, replace `git` with `path = "../dcr-math-lib"`. In `prebuild` mode DCR does not run the dependency build, even when `dcr.toml` is present.
