  • axKit: the bundle is called axKit, not Axit: a commercial product carries the old name. The program file is AxKit.exe, the install folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\AxKit, the Start menu entries axKit axClaude and so on, the File Explorer submenu Open with axKit, the console command axkit, the settings and logs %APPDATA%\AxKit and %LOCALAPPDATA%\AxKit, the menu in every window the axKit menu, and the repository github.com/KyleKeane/AxKit, where the old address redirects. The apps and their names are unchanged.
  • axKit: an installed Axit, up to 4.0.0, cannot install this update itself: its updater takes a release's files only from the old repository address, which GitHub now rewrites, so its update notice ends with "The release has no Windows zip attached". Close the Axit windows, download install.cmd from this release's page (Open release page in that notice) and run it: it removes Axit completely, folder, Start menu entries, File Explorer entries, console commands, sign-in entries and Apps entry, and installs axKit; the first app you start then moves your settings, recently closed list, consents, AI tools' pairings and logs from the Axit folders to the AxKit folders. Axit's entry among Claude Code's MCP servers, axit, goes when you add axKit to Claude Code (axKit menu, AI tools).
  • For developers: every project, namespace, folder, class, script, workflow, document, test and automation script was renamed in one pass (AxKit.sln, src/AxKit, AxKit.Core, AxKit.Forms, tests/AxKit.Tests, docs/axkit, AxKitForm, AxKitList, AxKitMenu); the automation variables are AXKIT_AUTOMATION and AXKIT_HOME, the NVDA add-on axkitCapture, the release key's folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\AxKit-release, the MCP server axkit with the tools axkit_apps, axkit_windows, axkit_window_text and the rest, and the hand-over marker between windows the letters AXKIT. The recorded fixtures keep the name of the folder they were recorded in. The decision and its reasons: bundle SPEC B-16; the installer's removal of Axit: AX-2.6; the folders' move: AX-5.4.

Built with the .NET SDK 10.0.403.
