+- **Phase 5**: Graph algorithms (BFS, SSSP, triangle count, connected components, PageRank, degree)

 ### Replace output descriptor
 
-The `output: :replace` descriptor clears the output before writing. In the current API (which always creates fresh results), it is a no-op. It becomes meaningful when in-place operations are added:
-
-```elixir
-# Future: in-place mxm that replaces the contents of c
-# {:ok, c} = Matrix.mxm_into(c, a, b, :plus_times, descriptor: Descriptor.replace_output())
-```
-
-For now, use `Descriptor.replace_output()` to prepare for in-place operations.
+The `output: :replace` descriptor clears the output before writing. In v0.2.0, all operations create fresh results, so `output: :replace` has no observable effect. It is accepted and passed through to SuiteSparse (which does use it internally), but does not change behavior when called from the Elixir API. It is included for forward-compatibility with future in-place operations.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] All 6 tasks complete. Summary of what was done this
 session: Workflow fix (3 changes): - native/suite_sparse.ex -- Added targets:
 restricting to the 6 platforms we actually build (was defaulting to all 12
 ZiglerPrecompiled defaults, causing 404 on arm-linux-gnueabihf etc.) -
 .github/workflows/precompiled-nifs.yml -- publish_hex job now builds
 GraphBLAS v9.4.5 from source (was using Ubuntu's v7.4.0 libgraphblas-dev
 which lacks GrB_Descriptor_set_INT32) -
 .github/workflows/precompiled-nifs.yml -- Added --ignore-unavailable flag to
 mix zigler_precompiled.download as a safety net Release materials (2 files):
 - CHANGELOG.md -- Complete v0.2.0 release notes covering the three-backend
 architecture, all P0-P3 fixes, new tests, CI changes, and documentation
 updates - plans/release-announcement-0.2.0.md -- Reddit r/elixir and Elixir
 Forum announcements ready to post Pending on you: 1. Push these changes and
 re-run the precompiled-nifs workflow to verify the fix 2. mix hex.publish
 --dry-run to check package contents before the real publish

 # Changelog
 
-## 0.2.0 (Unreleased)
+## 0.2.0
+
+First public release to Hex.pm.
+
+### Highlights
+
+- **Three-backend architecture**: Pure Elixir (reference), SuiteSparse:GraphBLAS (native
+  performance via Zigler NIFs), and ZigStub (CI verification without native dependencies).
+- **Precompiled NIFs** for 6 platforms: aarch64/x86\_64 on Linux (glibc and musl) and macOS.
+  End users do not need Zig or SuiteSparse installed.
+- **Backend behaviour** (`GraphBLAS.Backend`) with 30 callbacks. All three backends implement
+  the same contract, enforced by `@behaviour`.
+- **7 graph algorithms** and a knowledge-graph query layer (`GraphBLAS.Relation`).
+- **392 tests**, including property-based tests (StreamData), edge-case coverage, and
+  algebraic-property verification. 0 failures, 3 skipped (SuiteSparse-only).
 
 ### Added
 
-- `backend` field in `%Matrix{}` and `%Vector{}` structs for robust backend dispatch.
+- `GraphBLAS.Backend` behaviour with 30 `@callback` definitions.
+- `GraphBLAS.Backend.Elixir` -- pure Elixir reference backend (COO maps).
+- `GraphBLAS.Backend.SuiteSparse` -- native SuiteSparse:GraphBLAS backend via Zigler NIFs.
+- `GraphBLAS.Backend.ZigStub` -- minimal Zig NIF backend for CI verification.
+- `backend` field in `%Matrix{}` and `%Vector{}` structs for correct dispatch.
   Inspection functions (`nvals`, `to_entries`, `to_coo`, `to_list`, `to_dense`) now
-  dispatch via the owning backend instead of always defaulting to Elixir.
+  dispatch via the owning backend.
+- Conditional compilation: SuiteSparse modules live in `native/` and are only compiled
+  when `EX_GRAPHBLAS_COMPILE_NATIVE=1` (test/dev) or in `dev.exs`/`config.exs`.
+- Precompiled NIF distribution via ZiglerPrecompiled and GitHub Releases for 6 targets:
+  `aarch64-linux-gnu`, `aarch64-linux-musl`, `aarch64-macos-none`, `x86_64-linux-gnu`,
+  `x86_64-linux-musl`, `x86_64-macos-none`.
 - SuiteSparse include path configurable via `SUITESPARSE_INCLUDE_PATH` environment
-  variable or `:suitesparse_include_path` config key. Platform-specific defaults.
+  variable or `:suitesparse_include_path` config key.
+- 7 graph algorithms: `bfs_reach`, `bfs_levels`, `sssp`, `triangle_count`,
+  `connected_components`, `degree`, `pagerank`.
+- `GraphBLAS.Relation` module for knowledge-graph modelling with `traverse/4`,
+  `closure/4` (with `:max_iter` option), and `fixed_point/3`.
+- 12 built-in semirings including `:min_plus`, `:min_plus_fp64`, `:max_plus`,
+  `:max_plus_fp64`, `:max_min`, `:max_min_fp64`.
+- `sssp/3` accepts `:infinity` option (default: `1.0e18`).
+- `closure/4` accepts `:max_iter` option (default: `100`).
 - Core operations benchmark suite (`bench/core_ops_benchmarks.exs`).
-- Benchmark runner script (`bench/run_all.exs`).
-- Installation guide (`guides/installation_guide.md`).
+- Edge-case test suite (22 tests): zero-dimension containers, negative dimensions,
+  out-of-bounds indices, all type variants, operations on empty containers.
+- Algebraic property test suite (17 tests): commutativity, associativity, transpose
+  involution, dup independence, reduce correctness.
+- ZigStub dimension validation guards matching the Elixir backend.
+- `@doc` additions: `Raises KeyError` on `new/1` for BinaryOp, UnaryOp, Monoid,
+  Semiring; `Raises ArgumentError` on `fn_for/1` for BinaryOp, UnaryOp.
+- `Logger.debug` in `application.ex` rescue blocks for SuiteSparse init/finalize
+  failures.
+- Comprehensive guides: installation, architecture walkthrough, reference backend
+  walkthrough, native backend walkthrough, graph algorithms, masks and descriptors,
+  parity testing.
 - Apache License 2.0.
 - `coveralls.json` for coverage configuration.
 
 ### Fixed
 
+- **Resource leaks**: Transposed matrices in `matrix_mxm`, `matrix_mxv`, `vector_vxm`
+  are now freed in `after` blocks via `maybe_free_transposed/2`.
+- **Ignored Zig error codes**: Replaced 22 instances of `_ = GrB_*()` with
+  `try translate_info(GrB_*())` for dimension queries, type queries, descriptor set,
+  JIT disable, and finalize. Only `_free` calls remain unhandled (correct -- nothing
+  to do on free failure).
+- **Silent type defaults**: `type_code_to_grb_type`, `semiring_from_code`,
+  `monoid_from_code` now return errors instead of silently defaulting to INT64.
+- **Zig build buffer overread**: Added bounds checks (`nvals > *.len`) to all 6 build
+  functions in `graphblas.zig`.
+- **Unsafe `hd()` call**: `algorithm.ex` uses pattern match `[{v, _} | _]` instead of
+  `hd(unvisited_entries)`.
 - `Vector.nvals/1`, `Vector.to_entries/1`, `Vector.to_list/1` now correctly dispatch
-  to the backend that created the vector. Previously always used Elixir backend,
-  causing runtime errors on SuiteSparse vectors.
+  to the backend that created the vector.
 - `Matrix.nvals/1`, `Matrix.to_coo/1`, `Matrix.to_dense/1` same dispatch fix.
 - `Matrix.set/5`, `Matrix.extract/4`, `Vector.set/4`, `Vector.extract/3` now use
-  the container's backend instead of ignoring the backend parameter.
-- `config/config.exs` updated to reflect SuiteSparse backend availability.
-- Removed private `vector_to_entries/1` and `matrix_to_coo/1` helpers from
-  `algorithm.ex` — public API now handles backend dispatch correctly.
-- Moved `bench_data.ex` from `lib/` to `bench/` (benchmark-only code).
-- Fixed `Range.new` deprecation warning in `BenchData.undirected_random_graph/2`.
+  the container's backend.
+- Precompiled NIF targets restricted to the 6 platforms we actually build (was
+  defaulting to 12, causing 404s on `arm-linux-gnueabihf` etc.).
+- `publish_hex` CI job builds GraphBLAS v9.4.5 from source instead of using Ubuntu's
+  v7.4.0 `libgraphblas-dev` (which lacks `GrB_Descriptor_set_INT32`).
+- Fixed `Range.new` deprecation warning.
+- Fixed OTP 27 `+0.0` float literal warnings.
 
 ### Changed
 
-- `README.md` overhauled to reflect Phases 1-6 completion.
-- `mix.exs` updated with package metadata for Hex.pm.
-- Credo clean (0 issues).
+- `mix.exs`: added `source_url`, `source_ref`, explicit `files:` list. Elixir
+  requirement changed from `~> 1.17` to `~> 1.18`. Prod `elixirc_paths` is `["lib"]`
+  only (users don't need SuiteSparse headers to compile).
+- `apply/3` calls replaced with dynamic module call syntax (`mod.func(args)`) to
+  satisfy Credo.
+- Duplicate `max_int`/`min_int` private functions in `monoid.ex` replaced with
+  `@int64_max`/`@int64_min` module attributes.
+- CI: `elixir-build.yml` caches only `deps/` (not `_build/`), preventing stale NIF
+  `.so` issues. Cache keys include source file hashes.
+- CI: `precompiled-nifs.yml` uses `--ignore-unavailable` as a safety net during
+  checksum generation.
+- Guides updated to reflect completed architecture (no more "coming soon" language).
+- README overhauled with three-backend architecture, environment variables table,
+  and use-case examples.
+- Credo strict: 0 issues. Dialyzer: 0 errors.
