claude-comms 1.0.2 → 1.0.3

package/CHANGELOG.md

@@ -5,6 +5,29 @@ All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
 The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
 and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
+## [1.0.3] - 2025-08-15
+
+### Fixed
+- **CRITICAL**: Rate limiting improvements with tarball fetch strategy (1 request vs 21+ requests)
+- **PERFORMANCE**: Capped retry delays at 30 seconds maximum (down from 575+ seconds)
+- **UX**: Installation time reduced to under 10 seconds from minutes
+- **RELIABILITY**: Smart rate limit handling with user-friendly countdown displays
+- **STABILITY**: Fail-fast logic for excessive rate limit waits (>5 minutes)
+
+### Enhanced
+- Tarball extraction strategy as primary fetch method for maximum efficiency
+- Exponential backoff with jitter for network resilience
+- Enhanced error messages with actionable suggestions for GITHUB_TOKEN usage
+- Real-time countdown display for rate limit waits over 5 seconds
+- Improved retry logic with circuit breaker patterns
+
+### Technical Details
+- GitHubFetcher now defaults to tarball strategy, reducing API calls by 95%
+- Rate limit delays capped at 30s vs unlimited waits in v1.0.2
+- Smart delay calculation prevents excessive retry timeouts
+- Comprehensive retry conditions for network errors, server errors, and temporary failures
+- Atomic file operations with rollback support maintained
+
 ## [1.0.2] - 2025-08-15
