MacOBlox is now Cider. The launcher command and native package name are ciderhq, and the website is https://ciderhq.org.

Changes

  • Migrate existing settings, caches, source installs and saved Roblox sessions without replacing existing Cider data.
  • Correct X11 mouse-lock coordinates on multi-monitor desktops and reject off-window cursor targets.
  • Restore public Darling source builds that skip optional Swift LFS downloads and do not request GitHub credentials.
  • Add checksum-verified shader compatibility for Roblox 0.742.0.7421053 alongside 0.741.
  • Add bounded recovery and diagnostics for initially unavailable native Wayland EGL drawables.
  • Fix the launcher's legacy GTK dark-theme warning.
  • Update the launcher, installer, colored branding, desktop entries and Arch/Debian/Fedora/openSUSE package recipes.
  • Serve the source installer at https://ciderhq.org/install.sh.

Install or update

curl -fsSL https://ciderhq.org/install.sh | bash

Run ciderhq after installation. Internal shim filenames and MACOBLOX_* environment variables keep their compatibility names. The GitHub repository is now CiderHQ-org/Cider.

Validation and remaining reports

The native shim and Wayland helper build, static syntax and metadata checks pass, and the native package payload stages successfully. The reported mouse behavior and fully blank Wayland window still need confirmation on the affected machines. Native Wayland remains experimental; target-distro binary package builds remain unverified.

This is a source release. No Flatpak bundle is included. The renamed AUR recipes are available for maintainers; no AUR submission is included.

Source installer follow-ups

The source installer downloads the current main branch. Follow-up commits add guarded Clang/LLVM 23 Darling build compatibility, make the MangoHud switch override inherited activation, and remove the website and launcher welcome logos temporarily while retaining the old MacOBlox icon for installed shortcuts. These changes are on main; the v0.22 tag still points to the same source commit. The repository move changes the generated archive folder and checksum; current package recipes use the new values. A full Darling rebuild and Metal rendering have not been verified here.
