Splinterm 0.1.0

Splinterm's first stable release is for x86_64 Omarchy/Arch Linux with native
Wayland under Hyprland. It carries the RC3 terminal and daemon implementation
forward unchanged; this release updates version metadata, documentation, and
publication tooling rather than adding product features.

What ships

  • Daemon-owned terminal sessions that survive closing a graphical Window,
    multiplexed Splints and Dojos, saved Lairs, and explicit restore.
  • Scrollback and search, terminal images, native Wayland input, and configurable
    terminal lifetime and presets.
  • Live Omarchy theme and default-font following. Invalid font generations retain
    the last valid renderer, while explicit font choices remain authoritative.
  • Bounded JSON/NDJSON automation, remote graphical access, and an optional
    policy-scoped MCP adapter. Terminal output never grants automation authority.
  • Source-built and prebuilt Arch packages, desktop integration, and a systemd
    user service.

Stabilization included from RC3

  • Unchanged Fontconfig sources no longer trigger repeated staging when an
    incompatible bold or italic face falls back to the regular face.
  • FIFO policy files are rejected without waiting for a writer.
  • Revoking another automation connection preserves partially received requests.
  • Abnormal connection exits immediately remove their topology subscriptions.
  • Relay cancellation interrupts blocked writes and reclaims queues. Remote EOF
    still delivers buffered bytes in order to slow consumers, within channel bounds.

The release also retains the RC1/RC2 font-lifetime fixes, current Gum colors for
new Splints, bounded Sixel previews for Yazi, and legacy generated-Dojo name
normalization.

Install

Use yay -S splinterm-bin for the prebuilt package or yay -S splinterm to build
from source. The optional MCP packages are splinterm-mcp-bin and splinterm-mcp.
AUR distribution follows verification of the GitHub release assets. Packages and
source are also available on this release page.

Upgrade boundary

Splinterm 0.1 does not support live daemon upgrade handoff. Stopping or
replacing the running daemon ends its child processes; saved topology is not a
checkpoint of running applications. Save your work and upgrade from Foot or
another terminal that is not owned by splinterd:

systemctl --user stop splinterd.service
# Upgrade the splinterm package here.
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user start splinterd.service

Then reopen Splinterm Windows. Package installation does not silently restart
the user service. See the upgrade and rollback documentation.

Scope and limitations

Stable 0.1.0 does not add support for other distributions, compositors,
architectures, or package formats, and does not promise live daemon replacement
or a support lifetime. Splinterm is security-conscious, not absolutely secure;
automation remains subject to explicit policy, consent, revocation, and resource
bounds. Future 0.x releases may change interfaces with documented migration.
