Muster v1.11.0

The mascot release. Every teammate — and the brand mark itself — is now a musterbot: a deterministic, seeded SVG blob with expressive eyes and moods, CSS-only motion, and zero runtime dependencies.

Highlights

  • Musterbot blob avatars. Teammates render as soft, wobbly blob bodies with blink, gaze, and per-state faces (working, thinking, happy, sleeping, suspicious and more). Geometry is fully deterministic — the same bot name always produces the same face.
  • New brand mark. The logo is now the musterbot blob in brand orange, with a happy-eyes wave when interactive. The previous star and flower mascots remain available for existing bots' stored identities.
  • New open-source library. The blob engine ships as a standalone MIT-licensed library (musterbot, geometry and rendering written from scratch; inspiration credit to the MIT-licensed Blobatar project in the source). Muster vendors a synced copy — no runtime dependency added.
  • Character picker now defaults to the blob; star and other bodies stay selectable.

Payload

  • Muster-1.11.0.dmg — macOS Apple Silicon, unsigned (notarization pending CI unblock)
  • Muster-1.11.0-arm64.zip — macOS Apple Silicon auto-update artifact
  • Muster-1.11.0-intel.dmg — macOS Intel
  • Muster-1.11.0-x64.zip — macOS Intel auto-update artifact
  • Muster-1.11.0-x86_64.AppImage — Linux x64
  • Muster-1.11.0-amd64.deb — Debian/Ubuntu x64
  • Muster-1.11.0-cli.mjs / muster-cli.mjs — standalone CLI (Node 22+, self-checked build)
  • SHA256SUMS-cli.txt — CLI checksums

Windows installers are not included: the packaged-native rebuild gate correctly refuses to cross-compile better-sqlite3 off-host, and GitHub Actions remains billing-blocked. They will follow once CI is unblocked. The public download mirror therefore stays on 1.10.4 for desktop auto-updates until a complete payload (including Windows) exists.

Verification

  • Full test suite: 239 files / 3,369 passed / 8 skipped before the release commit.
  • CLI bundle self-check: 5/5 (syntax, help, version, isolated no-log run).
  • Production web verified serving the blob avatar code on muster.today and muster.orazen.online.
  • Linux artifacts built natively on a Linux x64 host (the packaged-native rebuild gate ran and passed: better-sqlite3 rebuilt against Electron headers, addon present in the packaged tree).
  • macOS Intel artifacts built natively on the arm64 macOS host under the same gate.
