Ration Docs Desktop 2026.1.0 — macOS (Apple Silicon) and Linux (arm64).
A hard fork of ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors 9.4.0, carrying 84 upstream issue
fixes plus 26 defects found while working on them - 110 in all.
| Repository | Upstream issues | With a test | Found in passing |
|---|---|---|---|
sdkjs |
29 | 18 | 7 |
core |
22 | 13 | 4 |
desktop-apps |
22 | 11 | 4 |
desktop-sdk |
10 | 4 | 7 |
web-apps |
3 | 1 | 1 |
build_tools |
2 | 2 | 3 |
The column sums past 84 because one issue often spans two repositories. 48 of the
84 have a test pinned to the commit before the fix, so it demonstrably fails
without it; the other 36 rest on their commit message, and UPSTREAM_TRIAGE.md
says which is which. Full notes are in RELEASE_NOTES.md.

SHA256SUMS covers the three Linux files; the disk image has its own
.sha256 beside it.
Installing
Linux
sudo apt install ./ration-docs_2026.1.0-1_arm64.deb
Installs to /opt/ration/docs, launcher at /usr/bin/ration-docs.
macOS — this build is not signed or notarised. Gatekeeper will refuse it on
first launch. Drag the app to /Applications, then:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Ration Docs.app"
An unsigned build means you are trusting the source of the file and nothing else
is vouching for it.
New in this release
Linux arm64 is new. Getting there took sixteen fixes to the build itself — the
tooling assumed an x86 host in four separate places, and two of our own earlier
fixes to the Linux application had never been compiled, because macOS builds
desktop-apps/macos and never touches win-linux/.
The product is named properly on every platform now. Windows and Linux still
carried ONLYOFFICE's name, data paths, URL scheme and single-instance mutex. The
last of those mattered most: a machine with both installed would have treated them
as one application.
Documents no longer claim someone else wrote them. Every file this build saves
used to record <Application>ONLYOFFICE/9.4.0.0</Application> in its properties.
It now reports Ration Docs/2026.1.0.0.
Known limitations
- Apple Silicon and Linux arm64 only. No Intel, no Windows yet.
- Neither build is signed.
- The Linux application exits with signal 11 on
SIGTERM(what a logout sends).
Closing the window normally is unaffected; not yet diagnosed. - Six start-page strings fall back to English in all 45 locales — the ones that
named the old product.
