  Solana publishes a recurring "Solana Changelog" (weekly-ish engineering roundup) on
  solana.com/news covering the validator clients (Agave, Firedancer), the RPC surface, SDKs
  (Solana Kit), and protocol work (Alpenglow). The changelog is narrative/dated rather than a
  strict semver API changelog; the RPC interface itself is versioned as JSON-RPC 2.0 and the
  Agave validator ships on a numbered release train. Recent entries below are the window
  captured in this repo's blogs/ pull.
