A focused patch release that repairs two @latest regressions, gives mise deps clearer per-provider output labels, and renames the install_before setting to minimum_release_age to match the wider ecosystem.

Highlights

• @latest resolution is fixed for Go modules that only publish pseudo-versions, and stale installs/<tool>/latest/ directories are now repaired automatically.
• The install_before setting has been renamed to minimum_release_age; the old name keeps working as a deprecated alias.
• mise deps output is now labeled by provider (e.g. [deps.codegen]) instead of repeating the raw command.
• Fedora 44 and Rawhide are now supported in the COPR build.

Fixed

• (backend) Two separate @latest issues are repaired in #9383 by @jdx:

  • Go modules that enumerate zero versions now resolve @latest via go list -m -json <module>@latest, so modules that only publish pseudo-versions still install a concrete version.
  • Stale real installs/<tool>/latest/ directories are now repaired generically by the runtime symlink migration. The migration reruns under a new marker and refreshes only install_state after rewriting directories, so the current process picks up the repaired layout without rebuilding the backend map (which previously broke config aliases). Numeric partial-version dirs such as installs/<tool>/25/ are left alone, and real direct-URL latest installs (e.g. UBI URL installs) are preserved when there is no concrete version to replace them with.

• (task) mise deps output is now labeled with a stable [deps.<provider>] prefix on stdout/stderr (and in the progress message) instead of using the raw run command as the prefix, making repeated output from commands like pip install -r requirements.txt much easier to follow. mise deps add/remove continues to run unprefixed.

Changed

• (config) The install_before setting and per-tool option have been renamed to minimum_release_age, matching pnpm's terminology. The old install_before name is preserved as a hidden, deprecated alias — global settings are migrated at load time, per-tool options resolve through the new key, and the JSON schema marks the old name as deprecated. Precedence is unchanged: --before > per-tool > global. (#9384) by @jdx

Added

• (copr) Fedora 44 and Rawhide are now supported by the COPR build script. (#9391) by @bestagi

Documentation

• The docs site nav now displays the current release version (read from Cargo.toml at build time), linking to the GitHub releases page. The build emits a warning if the version cannot be parsed instead of silently falling back. (#9388, #9389) by @jdx
