Full Release Notes
> This release renames the project to **CodeWhale**. The legacy > `deepseek` and `deepseek-tui` binaries continue to ship as > compatibility-only deprecation shims during v0.8.x; they print a > one-line warning and forward to `codewhale` / `codewhale-tui`. > They will be removed in v0.9.0. The legacy npm package > `deepseek-tui` is deprecated and receives no further releases. > 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:v0.8.50 ``` 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 — platform archives (recommended) Each archive below contains **both** the `codewhale` dispatcher and `codewhale-tui` runtime, plus an install script: | Platform | Archive | Install script | |---|---|---| | Linux x64 | `codewhale-linux-x64.tar.gz` | `install.sh` | | Linux ARM64 | `codewhale-linux-arm64.tar.gz` | `install.sh` | | Linux RISC-V | `codewhale-linux-riscv64.tar.gz` | `install.sh` | | macOS x64 | `codewhale-macos-x64.tar.gz` | `install.sh` | | macOS ARM | `codewhale-macos-arm64.tar.gz` | `install.sh` | | Windows x64 (installer) | `CodeWhaleSetup.exe` | NSIS setup | | Windows x64 | `codewhale-windows-x64.zip` | `install.bat` | | Windows x64 (portable) | `codewhale-windows-x64-portable.zip` | — | **Unix (Linux / macOS):** ```bash tar xzf codewhale-<platform>.tar.gz cd codewhale-<platform> ./install.sh ``` **Windows:** - For the installer path, run `CodeWhaleSetup.exe`; it installs both binaries under `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\CodeWhale\bin` and adds that directory to the current-user PATH. - Extract `codewhale-windows-x64.zip` - Run `install.bat` (copies to `%USERPROFILE%\bin`) - Add `%USERPROFILE%\bin` to your PATH The **portable** Windows archive skips the install script — extract and run from any directory. The NSIS installer is currently unsigned and may trigger Windows SmartScreen until a signing certificate is wired into the release pipeline. Individual binaries are also attached below for scripting and the npm wrapper. Legacy `deepseek-*` and `deepseek-tui-*` assets are compatibility-only deprecation shims for v0.8.x so that existing `deepseek update` invocations on v0.8.40 keep working; they forward to the canonical binaries. The legacy npm package `deepseek-tui` is deprecated and is not republished. ### Verify (recommended) Download the checksum manifests from this Release and verify: ```bash # Linux — archive bundles sha256sum -c codewhale-bundles-sha256.txt # Linux — individual binaries sha256sum -c codewhale-artifacts-sha256.txt # macOS shasum -a 256 -c codewhale-bundles-sha256.txt 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 as the canonical manifest. ## Changelog See [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/Hmbown/CodeWhale/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) for the full notes for this release.
