qFALL Goes Live: First Official Release

The wait is over – qFALL has officially released version 0.1.0!

All three core libraries – qfall-math, qfall-tools, and qfall-schemes – have reached version 0.1.0, establishing a solid foundation for researchers to build upon.

With this release, the entire suite is now published on crates.io. This significantly simplifies integration: no need to manage Git dependencies manually. Instead, integrate our libraries into your project with a single command:

cargo add qfall-math qfall-tools qfall-schemes

Furthermore, the documentation for all three crates is now hosted on docs.rs, providing a unified, searchable reference for all modules and traits.

Versioning and Stability

We are committed to stability where it counts, but we also refuse to let stagnation hold back innovation.

• Going forward, we will adhere to Semantic Versioning (SemVer) for qfall-math and qfall-tools.
• However, please note that qfall-schemes will remain a “living laboratory”. As initial implementations of cryptographic prototypes often reveal opportunities for optimization that require API changes, we do not guarantee API stability for this crate.

We recommend pinning your version of qfall-schemes in Cargo.toml to avoid unexpected breaks:

[dependencies]
qfall-schemes = "=0.1.0"

Join the Development 🤝

qFALL is built by researchers, for researchers. Now that the core is live, we invite the community to try it out, audit our implementations, and contribute back. Whether it is adding a missing gadget, optimizing a sampler, or fixing a bug, your contributions help the community to build better prototypes, faster.
