 ## irtt-rs
 
+### 0.7.0
+
+#### Added
+
+- Client target arguments now support per-target HMAC configuration: append `@hmac=KEY` to override the global `--hmac` value for that target, or use `@hmac=` to explicitly disable HMAC for it. The target syntax supports context-aware escaping for literal delimiters.
+- Continuous client runs can now take complete desired target sets from standard input with `--targets-stdin`. Each non-empty record atomically replaces the current set, `[]` selects an empty set, and EOF requests a graceful stop. The controller retains only the newest unapplied record under transient replacement backpressure, with explicit bounds on record size, desired targets, and live target generations.
+
+#### Changed
+
+- A peer-initiated close is now target-local in stdin-controlled continuous runs: the controller and other desired targets keep running, and a later desired set can start that target again.
+
+### 0.6.2
+
+#### Added
+
+- Every `irtt-server` applet flag can now also be set via an `IRTT_SERVER_*` environment variable (`IRTT_SERVER_BIND`, `IRTT_SERVER_HMAC`, `IRTT_SERVER_MAX_SESSIONS`, `IRTT_SERVER_MAX_PACKET_LENGTH`, `IRTT_SERVER_MIN_INTERVAL`, `IRTT_SERVER_BURST`, `IRTT_SERVER_IDLE_TIMEOUT`, `IRTT_SERVER_MAX_DURATION`, `IRTT_SERVER_TIMESTAMP_ALLOWANCE`, `IRTT_SERVER_NO_DSCP`), for deployments that configure by environment (containers, orchestrators) instead of command-line flags. An explicit flag on the command line still overrides the corresponding variable.
+- A `Dockerfile` and Gitea Actions workflow publishing a minimal, statically linked `irtt-server` container image (cross-compiled for `amd64`/`arm64` via `tonistiigi/xx`, no QEMU) to this project's Gitea and GHCR container registries.
+
+#### Changed
+
+- The bundled `ctrlc` dependency now enables its `termination` feature, so the applet also handles `SIGTERM` (not just `SIGINT`) for graceful shutdown.
+
 ### 0.6.1

+Targets without `@hmac=` inherit the global `--hmac` value. `@hmac=KEY`
+overrides it for that target, and `@hmac=` explicitly disables HMAC for that
+target. The modifier uses `@`, not a shell command separator; quote an argument
+if its key needs shell quoting.
+
+Target syntax supports these backslash escapes in labels, addresses, and HMAC
+values: `\\` for a literal backslash, `\@` for a literal `@`, `\=` for a
+literal `=`, and `\;` for a literal semicolon. Escaping `@` is necessary in a
+label or address when it would otherwise begin `@hmac=`; escaping the first
+`=` is how an unlabeled target or a label can contain that character. An `=` in
+an HMAC value, including Base64 padding, does not need escaping. Positional
+target arguments may contain a raw comma; stdin target sets have the additional
+`\,` escape described below.
+
+Shells process unquoted backslashes and characters such as semicolons before
+the client sees them. Single-quote a target when it contains parser escapes,
+for example `'west\=edge=host\@hmac=literal@hmac=a\;b\\c'`, so the
+backslashes reach `irtt-client` unchanged.

+## DYNAMIC TARGET SETS FROM STANDARD INPUT
+
+`--targets-stdin` is available only with continuous mode (`--duration 0`).
+Positional targets remain an initial desired set, and may be omitted to
+start empty:
+
+~~~sh
+irtt-client --duration 0 --targets-stdin
+irtt-client --duration 0 --targets-stdin ams=ams.example:2112
+~~~
+
+Each non-empty stdin record declares the complete desired target set, rather
+than a delta. A later record replaces an earlier set: targets absent from it
+are retired, unchanged target configurations retain their generation, and a
+changed address or HMAC setting creates a fresh generation. Under transient
+live-generation backpressure, only the latest unapplied desired set is kept.
+
+Commas frame targets in stdin records; escape a literal comma within one
+target as `\,`. Target parsing inside each element is otherwise the same as
+for positional arguments, including the other escapes above, `@hmac=KEY`, and
+`@hmac=`. Use a persistent producer or keep a pipe/FIFO writer open while the
+client is being controlled. For example, in one terminal:
+
+~~~sh
+mkfifo /tmp/irtt-targets
+irtt-client --duration 0 --targets-stdin --hmac default-secret \
+  < /tmp/irtt-targets
+~~~
+
+Then open the FIFO once from another terminal and keep that descriptor open
+while publishing complete desired sets:
+
+~~~sh
+exec 3> /tmp/irtt-targets
+printf '%s\n' 'ams=ams.example:2112,sg=sg.example:2112@hmac=sg-secret' >&3
+printf '%s\n' 'sg=sg.example:2112@hmac=sg-secret,nyc=nyc.example:2112' >&3
+# Publish more sets as needed, then send EOF and stop the client:
+exec 3>&-
+~~~
+
+The exact record `[]` selects an empty desired set. Empty records are
+ignored; whitespace is otherwise payload, not trimming. EOF is immediate loss
+or closure of the control plane and requests a graceful stop. A desired-state
+revision that was read but has not yet been acknowledged as applied may be
+discarded when EOF is observed; EOF does not wait for a capacity-rejected
+revision to become applicable.
+
+The maximum stdin record payload is 64 KiB. Stdin-controlled mode bounds each
+desired set to 128 targets and retains at most 256 live target generations
+while replacements drain.
