What changed

See the changelog
for what changed in this version and every version before it. A list
of the individual commits in this release is at the bottom of these notes.

Platform availability

Windows x86-64 is the only supported platform. macOS and Linux are experimental and unverified: some backend code exists but has never run on real hardware.

Platform	Status
Windows x86-64	✅ Ready — see artifacts below
macOS	Experimental, unverified (never run on real hardware)
Linux (X11)	Experimental, unverified (never run on real hardware)

Install

1. Download cindershift-windows-x86_64.exe.
2. Verify the SHA256 checksum against cindershift-windows-x86_64.exe.sha256 (optional, see below).
3. Run it. A setup window appears where you choose shortcuts (desktop, Start Menu, taskbar) and whether to start with Windows. Pick what you want and click Install.

Verify checksum (PowerShell)

$expected = (Get-Content cindershift-windows-x86_64.exe.sha256).Split()[0]
$actual   = (Get-FileHash cindershift-windows-x86_64.exe -Algorithm SHA256).Hash.ToLower()
if ($expected -eq $actual) { "OK" } else { "MISMATCH" }
