 # Releases
 
+## v0.8.4 — 2026-07-29
+milestones: none (patch release: c1M P1 follow-ups + the park-vs-error spin fix)
+waivers: none new — `XSHARD-READ-01` remains the open GA gap (ROADMAP R4), unchanged from v0.8.3.
+evidence: Patch release rolling up PR #424 (c1M round 6). **Ships a fix for a bug LIVE in v0.8.3:** task-exit parking defaults on (`--conn-park-secs 60`), and the idle-park arms treated every read error as the sweep's cancel — a client that dies with an RST while its connection is parked (crashed client, NAT reset, LB probe) left the fd permanently readable and spun that connection through park→wake→park at 100 % shard CPU with the socket stuck in CLOSE_WAIT (found live by E11's first TLS leg: 3 000 CLOSE_WAIT conns pinning a shard; the plain-TCP RST path hits the same loop). The arms now match monoio's exact ECANCELED (raw os 125, both drivers) — only a sweep cancel downshifts/parks; real errors tear down promptly; regression tests cover FIN-while-parked (TLS) and RST-while-parked (plain). **Also in this release:** TLS task-exit parking (idle TLS 47.0 → 26.0 KB/conn, −45 %, E11 same-binary flag A/B; vendored `io_ref()` readiness passthrough + `task_park_safe()` veto — no park while the TLS stack buffers anything fd readability can't signal); registration handoff across park/wake (no deregistered window; fixes the wake silently resetting `CLIENT SETNAME`/`age` — caught red/green); migrated connections park; REPLCONF'd connections (replica handshake) are excluded from parking so a replica can never hit the unsupported PSYNC-after-park path. **Validation:** parity suites green on kqueue AND io_uring (plain 5/5, TLS 3/3, incl. the two new teardown regressions); VM monoio 4466 + tokio 3628 lib tests; E10 plain-park sanity unchanged (3.28 KB/conn); small-N spin repro post-fix: fds released, 0 CLOSE_WAIT, 0 % CPU; CodeRabbit review findings all addressed in-branch (REPLCONF exclusion, SAFETY comment, expect-free `is_drained`). Release gate: crash-matrix nightly + ITERS=20 soak dispatched on the RC (no crash/persistence path touched; ritual held), green before tag.
