Smithy CLI v1.68.0

1.68.0 (2026-02-25)

Features

• Added new ERROR event to EndpointTestsTraitValidator when builtin params are inconsistent (#2955)
• Update smithy-rules-engine-tests with new std lib functions and bdd-based tests (#2945)
• Add new transform compileBdd and compileBddForAws (#2953)
• Added the @smithy.contracts#conditions trait, available in the new smithy-contract-traits package. This trait defines restrictions on shape values using JMESPath expressions. (#2935)
• Added a tags property to eventStreamTests to allow filtering individual cases in the same way that http protocol tests can be. (#2973)
• Added a service provider interface for NodeValidationVisitor plugins, and optimized to index plugins by the ShapeType they apply to. (#2935)

Documentation

• Tweak wording of integers with ranges message (#2971)
• Added Smithy Kotlin Quickstart and Client User Guide sections. (#2944)
• Added documentation for eventStreamTests (#2973)
• Add client guidance for context types. (#2924)
• Added client guidance documentation for endpoint resolution. (#2941)

Other

• Removed protocol tests for skipping null values in dense collections. This behavior can silently drop data. SDKs that cannot preserve null values should raise an exception instead (#2972)

• Update smithy-rules-engine-tests with new std lib functions and bdd-based tests (#2945)
• Add new transform compileBdd and compileBddForAws (#2953)
• Added the @smithy.contracts#conditions trait, available in the new smithy-contract-traits package. This trait defines restrictions on shape values using JMESPath expressions. (#2935)
• Added a tags property to eventStreamTests to allow filtering individual cases in the same way that http protocol tests can be. (#2973)
• Added a service provider interface for NodeValidationVisitor plugins, and optimized to index plugins by the ShapeType they apply to. (#2935)

Documentation

• Tweak wording of integers with ranges message (#2971)
• Added Smithy Kotlin Quickstart and Client User Guide sections. (#2944)
• Added documentation for eventStreamTests (#2973)
• Add client guidance for context types. (#2924)
• Added client guidance documentation for endpoint resolution. (#2941)

Other

• Removed protocol tests for skipping null values in dense collections. This behavior can silently drop data. SDKs that cannot preserve null values should raise an exception instead (#2972)
