Openhpsdr Zeus v0.8.2
OpenHPSDR Zeus v0.8.2 — Audio Suite installer hotfix
This is a hotfix for the v0.8.0 / v0.8.1 release line. The only code change is the Audio Suite installer fix described below; for the bulk of changes in this release line — in-process Audio Suite with live pre-MOX meters and audition, dual desktop icons, single-binary Zeus, plugin system rebuild, smoothed-SWR meter, persistence fixes, and more — see v0.8.0 release notes.
🛠 What's fixed in v0.8.2
Download Audio Suite now installs all six audio plugins, not five
If you installed v0.8.0 or v0.8.1 and clicked Download Audio Suite, you got five of the six audio plugins — Noise Gate was silently skipped. v0.8.2 fixes the one-click installer to deliver all six. Same fix bumps Bass / Exciter / Reverb from v0.1.0 to v0.2.0, which shipped alongside Noise Gate on 2026-05-19 — so the suite installer now distributes the current releases of every plugin, not last week's.
Manifest IDs and versions distributed by Download Audio Suite as of v0.8.2 (in install order; conventional voice-chain signal flow):
| Slot | Plugin | Version | Status in v0.8.2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | com.openhpsdr.zeus.samples.noisegate |
v0.1.0 | new in suite |
| 2 | com.openhpsdr.zeus.samples.eq |
v0.2.0 | unchanged |
| 3 | com.openhpsdr.zeus.samples.compressor |
v0.1.2 | unchanged |
| 4 | com.openhpsdr.zeus.samples.exciter |
v0.2.0 | bumped from v0.1.0 |
| 5 | com.openhpsdr.zeus.samples.bass |
v0.2.0 | bumped from v0.1.0 |
| 6 | com.openhpsdr.zeus.samples.reverb |
v0.2.0 | bumped from v0.1.0 |
Bench-verified end-to-end: wiped the plugins directory of all six audio plugins, clicked Download Audio Suite, all six installed fresh, all six loaded on next desktop restart.

⚠️ Upgrade notes
If you've already installed v0.8.0 or v0.8.1, the v0.8.2 installer is a clean upgrade:
- Windows: run the new
openhpsdr-zeus-0.8.2-win-x64-setup.exe(or-arm64-) — it upgrades in place via the same AppId. - macOS: drag the new
OpenHPSDR Zeus.appandOpenHPSDR Zeus Server.appout of the v0.8.2 DMG and replace the previous ones. Don't forget the quarantine clear:xattr -cr "/Applications/OpenHPSDR Zeus.app" xattr -cr "/Applications/OpenHPSDR Zeus Server.app"
- Linux: extract the new tarball over the old one, or replace your AppImages.
If you're coming from v0.7.x or earlier, follow the v0.8.0 uninstall-first instructions — the icon rename from "Zeus" to "OpenHPSDR Zeus" still applies.
Already running the suite from v0.8.0 / v0.8.1?
The Audio Suite installer skips plugins it already sees as installed. To pick up Noise Gate + the v0.2.0 bumps after upgrading the desktop binary:
- Open Plugins → Browse in the Zeus UI.
- Uninstall the v0.1.0 versions of Bass, Exciter, and Reverb (and add Noise Gate manually if you didn't have it).
- Click Download Audio Suite — it'll install all six fresh.
- Restart Zeus when prompted.
Your plugin settings (chain order, gains, threshold curves, etc.) persist in zeus-prefs.db keyed by plugin id, so they rehydrate automatically on reinstall.
Your saved settings (chain order, drive %, VFO, mode, filter, etc.) survive the upgrade.
