# What's live on lium.io

As of 2026-10-15. Every row below is live in production today. The CLI and SDK ship together as `pip install lium.io` (current release 0.16.1); a version in the status column is the oldest release that has the capability.

**Check programmatically.** `GET https://lium.io/api/version` returns a `features` list of the optional API capabilities this build serves (for example `rent_by_spec`, `rent_idempotency`), so a client can test for one with a single request. `lium --version` prints the installed CLI and SDK version.
