AnimalsDesktop v0.2.1

Date: 2026-06-27

This release keeps the current main-line AnimalsDesktop animal/runtime set and adds Windows release-trust hardening for the Windows packages.

v0.2.0 was published from the wrong lineage and is superseded by this main-line v0.2.1 release.

Download

  • AnimalsDesktop-windows-amd64.zip for Windows 10/11 x64
  • AnimalsDesktop-windows-386.zip for Windows 10/11 x86
  • macOS ZIPs from the same release workflow
  • SHA256SUMS.txt for Windows package and packaged EXE verification

Each Windows ZIP includes:

  • AnimalsDesktop.exe
  • README.md
  • SECURITY.txt

Windows Trust Changes

  • Embedded Win32 version metadata, product metadata, a Windows 10+ manifest, and an app icon into AnimalsDesktop.exe.
  • Removed the runtime PowerShell updater path and replaced it with a constrained app-owned updater helper mode.
  • Added GitHub release asset size and SHA256 digest verification when available.
  • Added release ZIP SECURITY.txt files with expected EXE hashes and false-positive submission guidance.
  • Added SHA256SUMS.txt lines for both Windows ZIP files and the packaged EXE files inside them.
  • Added optional Azure Artifact Signing integration, with PFX signing as a fallback only for eligible/exportable certificates.
  • Added regression tests for updater path constraints, PowerShell-free runtime updater command construction, release workflow PowerShell parsing, and package hash/security-manifest coverage.

Known Status

  • This release is marked as a prerelease while Windows reputation/signing is being hardened.
  • Authenticode signing depends on configuring Azure Artifact Signing or a valid signing certificate.
  • Unsigned Windows builds may still show Microsoft Defender SmartScreen or antivirus reputation warnings until signing, reputation, or allowlisting catches up.

Verification

Release verification includes:

  • go run ./cmd/importsheet
  • go run ./cmd/importanimals
  • go run ./cmd/validatemotion -runtime-only -require-accepted
  • go test -buildvcs=false ./...
  • release workflow PowerShell parser checks after GitHub expression substitution
  • amd64/386 Windows EXE builds
  • Windows release ZIP packaging with SECURITY.txt
  • ZIP entry and SHA256 verification
