Full Release Notes
> **CodeWhale** is the canonical project, command, npm package, and > release-asset name. The legacy npm package `deepseek-tui` is > deprecated and receives no further releases. Users coming from > v0.8.x legacy `deepseek` / `deepseek-tui` names should migrate > with `docs/REBRAND.md`. ## 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:v0.8.56 ``` The image ships the `codewhale` dispatcher and `codewhale-tui` runtime. 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. The legacy npm package `deepseek-tui` is deprecated and is not republished. For migration from v0.8.x legacy binary names, see `docs/REBRAND.md`. ### 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 ``` ## Contributors Thanks to @sximelon, @cyq1017, @Artenx, @LHqweasd, @wywsoor, @hsdbeebou, @mserrano11, @Dr3259, @yekern, @lioryx, @puneetdixit200, @HUQIANTAO, @xyuai, @gaord, @shenjackyuanjie, @AdityaVG13, @aboimpinto, @ousamabenyounes, @reidliu41, @ljm3790865, @idling11, @h3c-hexin, @AresNing, @tdccccc, @qiyuanlicn, @bevis-wong, @shuxiangxuebiancheng, @hongqitai, @NASLXTO, @wuxixing, @linzhiqin2003, @merchloubna70-dot, @mvanhorn, @Implementist, @jrcjrcc, @punkcanyang, @yusufgurdogan, @LeoAlex0, @mo-vic, @AiurArtanis, @nasus9527, and @lbcheng888 for reports, PRs, reviews, reproductions, design direction, and harvested work that shaped v0.9.0. ## Changelog See [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/Hmbown/CodeWhale/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) for the full notes for this release.
