Wrightbench 0.6.0

Wrightbench now ships from this public repository: downloads, release notes and the issue tracker live here, and the app updates itself from these releases.

Upgrading from 0.5.0 or earlier: those versions check a retired location for updates and will not offer 0.6.0. Download it once from the assets below or from wrightbench.com/download; after that, updates arrive automatically.

Wrightbench 0.4.1

Originally published on August 31, 2026.

Important

If you're on v0.2.0–v0.4.0, download this release manually. This release fixes the in-app updater, which was silently broken in every previous packaged build: your installed copy shows an update is available, but the Download / Restart-to-update buttons do nothing. Grab the installer for your platform from the assets below — from v0.4.1 onward, in-app updates work normally. (.deb installs are unaffected: they never self-update and already link here.)

What's Changed

Other changes

• updates: fix silently dead in-app update actions in packaged builds
• release: prepare v0.4.1
