Neton Framework 1.0.0

Released on October 29, 2026. Version 1.0.0 is available on Maven Central. Complete English release notes cover the cumulative Framework feature set. GitHub Release includes the production manifest and public-consumption evidence. Post-publication verification is tracked in the acceptance record.

Neton Framework is a Kotlin/Native server application framework with compile-time wiring, routing, managed lifecycle and backend infrastructure. AI-native development uses its versioned specifications and development skill to build and verify services; it does not require runtime AI.

Neton Application is a separate application/module ecosystem built on Framework. Administration, business identities and product modules are not Framework contracts. The public neton-app is a generic Framework starter.

Capabilities and boundaries

• Controllers, routing, validation, middleware and consistent error handling.
• KSP-generated registration and mappings, deterministic startup and owned resource shutdown.
• Typed database access, transactions and explicit migrations; authentication, authorization and JWT.
• Cache, Redis, jobs, structured logging, domain events, local and S3-compatible storage.
• Stable business WebSocket APIs in neton.websocket; the opt-in engine SPI remains experimental.
• Default HTTP server/client using the project's own HTTP, IO and TLS libraries, with one OpenSSL 4 wrapper shared by HTTP/TLS, Security and Storage.

neton-ai is independently versioned and released, outside the Framework BOM; its APIs remain experimental. Ktor, Hyper4k and Geario4k adapters are external optional compatibility/comparison projects, not the default stack or core release gates.

Public APIs in the compiled ABI baseline are stable except explicitly internal/experimental APIs. KSP implementation classes are not application extension points.

Versions and platform scope

Kotlin stays at 2.4.20, KSP at 2.3.12. This release updates sqlx4k 1.16.0 → 1.17.0 and kotlinx-serialization 1.11.0 → 1.12.0. All 19 release gates passed on the updated release source, not an older candidate. Arbitrary compiler-version KLIB compatibility is not promised.

Full native runtime gates cover macOS ARM64, Linux x64 and Windows x64. Linux ARM64 has a separate actual KSP execution gate, not full runtime certification. macOS x64 library compilation is not runtime acceptance; the database module has no macOS x64 artifact. Default database publications use PostgreSQL; MySQL/SQLite API-variant checks do not imply published interchangeable drivers.

Beta migration

• Align Framework and KSP dependencies. The entry module BOM aligns Framework modules, not AI/adapters.
• Rename neton.ws to neton.websocket. The annotation is neton.websocket.annotations.WebSocket; configuration is neton.websocket.config.WebSocketConfig.
• Use request-bound SecurityContext(httpContext) or @CurrentUser, not global identity.
• Do not access SQLx adapter internals from business code. Explicit opt-in applies to experimental APIs.
• Remove old BOM/version constraints when moving to independent AI.
• Security preserves stored PBKDF2 hashes and SecretBox layouts through regression tests; do not reintroduce an OpenSSL 3 provider.
• Recompile consumers. Pre-1.0 changes do not promise beta binary compatibility.

Installation:

implementation("com.netonstream:neton:1.0.0")
implementation("com.netonstream:neton-security")
implementation("com.netonstream:neton-database")

Use the Framework skill with matching specifications. Skills guide implementation; compilation and acceptance remain mandatory.

Release verification

The gates require compiled ABI, consumer compilation, incremental KSP, real PostgreSQL/Redis, native tests, release migration, two healthy start/stop cycles, closed ports and zero database connections. The pinned public starter consumes the same candidate on three runtime platforms. Production signatures and public Central consumption are separate from test-key candidate rehearsal.

See the release contract and release gates. No performance or additional platform certification is implied by this release note.
