PICAZHU for Windows 0.1.1 Alpha

Alpha maintenance release focused on Settings readability and release-pipeline hardening.

What Changed

  • Rebuilt the Settings popup into a full-width scrollable settings surface instead of fixed-width cards.
  • Improved readability for labels, provider diagnostics, LM Studio model IDs, and AI indexing status.
  • Added a clear selected-model summary under the LM Studio model dropdown.
  • Added visible settings toggles for AI and subfolder defaults.
  • Expanded footer actions so Test Connections and Save Settings do not clip.
  • Clarified that Close discards unsaved edits and Save Settings applies immediately.
  • Hardened the GitHub staging script so it preserves the existing .git folder when refreshing source.

Downloads

Recommended install:

  • PICAZHU-Windows-Setup-0.1.1-alpha.exe

Portable/testing option:

  • PICAZHU-Windows-portable-0.1.1-alpha.zip

Verification:

  • SHA256SUMS.txt

Security And Trust

The 0.1.1-alpha installer is unsigned. Windows may show an Unknown publisher or SmartScreen warning until PICAZHU is signed with an OV/EV code-signing certificate.

For this release:

  • Verify downloads against SHA256SUMS.txt.
  • Scan the installer or portable zip with your antivirus before installing if your environment requires it.
  • The published installer and portable zip were scanned locally with Microsoft Defender on May 9, 2026, and Defender reported no threats.

Antivirus scans are a useful distribution check, but they are not a substitute for code signing.

Verification Performed

  • dotnet build .\Picazhu.sln -c Release -m:1
  • dotnet test .\Picazhu.sln -c Release --no-build -m:1
  • dotnet publish .\app\Picazhu.App\Picazhu.App.csproj -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained false -m:1 -o .\publish\Picazhu.App-win-x64 /p:DebugType=None /p:DebugSymbols=false
  • Build-WindowsRelease.ps1
  • Published executable launched and reported Responding = True.
  • Microsoft Defender scan found no threats in the installer or portable zip.

Known Alpha Notes

  • Installer is currently unsigned.
  • This is still a pre-release for controlled testing.
  • Embeddings and hybrid semantic ranking are not complete yet.
  • OpenAI/Ollama inference paths are not at feature parity with LM Studio.
  • Very large iPhone libraries, locked/untrusted phones, iCloud placeholders, and unplug-during-import scenarios need more real-device QA.
