release notes

A small release that hardens HTTP downloads against flaky networks and adds a global way to surface pre-release versions, plus refreshed intro messaging.
Added


(ls-remote) New global prereleases setting (MISE_PRERELEASES=1) and a --prerelease flag for mise ls-remote (#9415) by @jdx. Acts as prerelease = true applied to every tool, so GitHub releases flagged prerelease: true show up in ls-remote, latest resolves against the full list, and fuzzy queries like 1.2 can match pre-release tags. Currently honored by the github: and aqua: backends; draft releases are still excluded.
mise ls-remote github:cli/cli --prerelease
# or, persistently:
export MISE_PRERELEASES=1


Fixed


(http) HTTP requests now retry transient failures with a jittered backoff schedule (~200ms / 1s / 4s / 15s, then capped at 15s) and the default http_retries is bumped from 0 to 3 (#9414) by @jdx. Retries fire on 5xx, 408, 429, and network-layer errors (connect refused, timeout, mid-stream body drops); deterministic 4xx responses like 404 fail fast without retry. Downloads wrap the full request + body so a chunk failure mid-stream restarts from byte 0 instead of failing the install. Each retry logs a warn! immediately so flaky infrastructure surfaces in real time, and the same logic now powers vfox plugin downloads (which honor MISE_HTTP_RETRIES too). Set MISE_HTTP_RETRIES=0 to opt out. The http→https fallback now only triggers on connection-level errors, not on HTTP status errors.


(release) scripts/publish-s3.sh now purges the mise.en.dev Cloudflare zone (alongside jdx.dev and mise.run) after each S3 publish (#9416) by @jdx. Because install.sh is uploaded with immutable cache-control, missing the purge could leave one zone serving the previous release's install.sh next to a new release's install.sh.minisig.


Documentation

Refreshed the project tagline and intro across the README, docs site, landing page, man page, snapcraft/RPM/DEB/npm packaging metadata, and CLI help text to "Dev tools, env vars, and tasks in one CLI" with a clearer "what is it?" pitch focused on what mise does rather than what it replaces (#9418) by @jdx.
The docs site's GitHub star count is now prefixed with a ★ glyph for clarity (#9417) by @jdx.
