v1.7 — Linux Beta and Fix bugs

v1.7 — What's Changed

Tether v1.7 adds a Linux desktop app in beta and migrates the project to a new platform architecture.

Highlights

• Added Linux app in beta.
• Restructured the project around separate platforms: apps/macos, apps/linux, apps/web, apps/windows.
• Moved the shared Rust proxy to core/proxy so macOS and Linux share one backend.
• Updated macOS build flow for the new structure.
• Added Linux build/package flow for AppImage and deb.
• Updated the site, README, and docs to reflect Linux support.

macOS

macOS remains the primary native desktop version of Tether.

What changed:

• Source moved from ui to apps/macos.
• Build scripts now use the new path.
• DMG is built manually via scripts/package-dmg.sh and can be attached to a release separately.
• App still uses the shared proxy from core/proxy.
• Execution graph, sidebar, inspector, replay, and local proxy workflow remain the core of the macOS app.

Manual release asset:

• Tether.dmg

Linux Beta

The Linux app is now available as a beta desktop client.

What's in:

• Tauri desktop shell.
• React graph UI and inspector.
• Shared core/proxy sidecar.
• Start/stop local proxy.
• Trace nodes via shared proxy API.
• AppImage and deb packaging via GitHub Actions.

Status:

• Beta quality.
• Core local trace inspection works.
• Packaging connected.
• Full parity polish with macOS still in progress.

Release assets:

• .AppImage
• .deb
