Full Release Notes
## Highlights - Cleaner TUI sidebar behavior: active checklist work stays visible in short layouts, completed live-tool rows age out, and shell helper tasks are labeled with readable names instead of internal task IDs. - Broader settings coverage: `/config`, schema-driven settings UI, `/set`, and single-setting display now cover the available setting surface, including animation, paste, vim-mode, synchronized output, context panel, currency, and PDF extraction toggles. - Leaner prompt/context hygiene: first-turn project context avoids hidden tool/cache state, `/context` shows named prompt layers, and compaction guidance now separates the 60% manual suggestion from the 80% automatic guardrail. - Stronger release hygiene: version checks now catch changelog/package drift and README contributor-credit drift before release. - Contributor credit correction: Horace Liu ([@liuhq](https://github.com/liuhq)) is now credited for Nix package support and install documentation contributed during the v0.8.34 cycle. ## Install ### Recommended: npm (one command, both binaries) ```bash npm install -g deepseek-tui ``` The wrapper downloads both binaries from this Release and places them in the same directory. ### Docker / GHCR ```bash docker run --rm -it \ -e DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="$DEEPSEEK_API_KEY" \ -v ~/.deepseek:/home/deepseek/.deepseek \ ghcr.io/hmbown/deepseek-tui:v0.8.35 ``` The image ships the `deepseek` dispatcher and `deepseek-tui` runtime. The `latest` tag is also updated on release. ### Cargo (Linux / macOS) ```bash cargo install deepseek-tui-cli deepseek-tui --locked ``` Both crates are required: `deepseek-tui-cli` produces the `deepseek` dispatcher and `deepseek-tui` produces the interactive runtime that the dispatcher delegates to. Installing only one binary will fail at runtime with a `MISSING_COMPANION_BINARY` error. ### Manual Download Download both binaries for your platform and put them in the same directory, such as `~/.local/bin/`. | Platform | Dispatcher | TUI runtime | |---|---|---| | Linux x64 | `deepseek-linux-x64` | `deepseek-tui-linux-x64` | | Linux ARM64 | `deepseek-linux-arm64` | `deepseek-tui-linux-arm64` | | macOS x64 | `deepseek-macos-x64` | `deepseek-tui-macos-x64` | | macOS ARM | `deepseek-macos-arm64` | `deepseek-tui-macos-arm64` | | Windows x64 | `deepseek-windows-x64.exe` | `deepseek-tui-windows-x64.exe` | On Unix platforms, run `chmod +x` on both downloaded binaries before launching `./deepseek`. ### Verify Download `deepseek-artifacts-sha256.txt` from this Release and verify: ```bash # Linux sha256sum -c deepseek-artifacts-sha256.txt # macOS shasum -a 256 -c deepseek-artifacts-sha256.txt ``` ## Full Changelog See [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/Hmbown/DeepSeek-TUI/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) for the full notes for this release.
