Full Release Notes
> This release renames the project to **CodeWhale**. The legacy > `deepseek` and `deepseek-tui` binaries continue to ship as > deprecation shims for one release cycle; they print a one-line > warning and forward to `codewhale` / `codewhale-tui`. They will > be removed in v0.9.0. See `docs/REBRAND.md` for the full > migration story. ## Install ### Recommended — npm (one command, both binaries) ```bash npm install -g codewhale ``` 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/codewhale/.deepseek \ ghcr.io/hmbown/codewhale:v0.8.42 ``` The image ships the `codewhale` dispatcher and `codewhale-tui` runtime (plus the legacy `deepseek` / `deepseek-tui` shims during the transition). The `latest` tag is also updated on release. ### Cargo (Linux / macOS) ```bash cargo install codewhale-cli codewhale-tui --locked ``` Both crates are required — `codewhale-cli` produces the `codewhale` dispatcher and `codewhale-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 **Both** binaries below must be downloaded for your platform and dropped into the same directory (e.g. `~/.local/bin/`): | Platform | Dispatcher | TUI runtime | |---|---|---| | Linux x64 | `codewhale-linux-x64` | `codewhale-tui-linux-x64` | | Linux ARM64 | `codewhale-linux-arm64` | `codewhale-tui-linux-arm64` | | macOS x64 | `codewhale-macos-x64` | `codewhale-tui-macos-x64` | | macOS ARM | `codewhale-macos-arm64` | `codewhale-tui-macos-arm64` | | Windows x64 | `codewhale-windows-x64.exe` | `codewhale-tui-windows-x64.exe` | Then `chmod +x` both (Unix) and run `./codewhale`. Legacy `deepseek-*` and `deepseek-tui-*` assets are also attached for one release cycle so that existing `deepseek update` invocations on v0.8.40 keep working; they install the deprecation shims, which forward to the canonical binaries. ### Verify (recommended) Download `codewhale-artifacts-sha256.txt` from this Release and verify: ```bash # Linux sha256sum -c codewhale-artifacts-sha256.txt # macOS shasum -a 256 -c codewhale-artifacts-sha256.txt ``` The legacy `deepseek-artifacts-sha256.txt` is also attached for backward compatibility and contains the same hashes. ## Changelog See [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/Hmbown/CodeWhale/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) for the full notes for this release.
