DByte v3.3.0

DByte v3.3.0 is a public alpha release focused on the DByteOS userland prototype, shell session environment, and autopath command resolution.

DByte is a fast low-level scripting language for binary parsing, buffer patching, byte search, typed integer workloads, and automation scripts that need simple syntax with predictable behavior.

This release continues the move from “just a language” toward a personal programmable computing environment.

Highlights

• DByteOS userland prototype
• DByte shell session environment hardening
• Shell autopath command resolution
• Hyphenated command mapping, such as mkdir-demo resolving to mkdir_demo.dby
• DByteOS-style layout with /bin, /etc, /home, /sys, and /tmp
• Continued support for binary parsing, mutable buffers, byte search, and patching workflows
• REPL and DByte-native shell workflow
• Rust embedding support through dbyte_embed
• Public alpha Windows x64 release package

DByteOS Userland

DByteOS is a simulated operating-system-style userland running on the host DByte runtime.

It is not a native kernel yet. It is a userland prototype for experimenting with a personal computing environment where commands, tools, and runtime behavior are scriptable in DByte.

Current layout:

• /bin — command scripts and utilities
• /etc — configuration files
• /home — simulated user space
• /sys — internal profile and system logic
• /tmp — temporary scratch space

Autopath

With DByteOS autopath enabled, shell commands can resolve to scripts under bin/ without writing one alias per command.

Examples:

cat
mkdir-demo
path which mkdir-demo

Hyphenated command names can map to underscore script names:

mkdir-demo -> mkdir_demo.dby

Install

Download the release asset:

dbyte-v3.3.0-windows-x64.zip

Extract it, then run:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\install.ps1

dbyte run --vm examples\hello.dby
dbyte test --engine vm

Expected version:

DByte 3.3.0

Manual Smoke Test

This release package was smoke-tested after packaging:

dbyte.exe --version

dbyte.exe run --vm examples\hello.dby
=> Hello, DByte!

dbyte.exe run --vm examples\binary_patcher.dby
=> patched 1

Alpha Notice

DByte is still public alpha software. The language, shell, DByteOS userland, and standard library may continue to change before a stable release.

DByteOS is a userland prototype, not a native kernel.

Keep originals. Test output. Diff files. Then ship.
