v0.1.1
70c9323

Maintenance release focused on Windows performance — recommended for all Windows users.

Fixed

  • Whole-app freezes on Windows — heavy operations (notebook cell execution, tool detection, provenance capture, runtime startup, file previews) ran on the UI thread. The app froze for the duration of every notebook cell and stuttered right after launch and when opening the Skills page. All of these now run off the UI thread; notebook execution uses a dedicated blocking pool, so the interface stays responsive even during long-running cells (this also benefits macOS/Linux).
  • Black console windows popping up — every helper process (Python kernel, interpreter probes, tool detection, taskkill) flashed a console window on Windows. All spawns now use CREATE_NO_WINDOW.
  • Windows Store fake python.exe detected as a real interpreter — the Store alias runs but exits non-zero, which caused endless kernel respawns (and more window spam). Interpreter/tool probes now require --version to actually succeed; without a real Python you get a clear "install Python 3" message instead.

System requirements: macOS 13 Ventura or later · Windows 10/11 (x64). The bundled OpenCode runtime does not run on macOS 12 or older — the app window opens but never connects.

Install notes (unsigned builds)

These builds are not code-signed yet — a one-time step per install is needed.

macOS — "Open Science is damaged and can't be opened"

Gatekeeper reports downloaded unsigned apps as damaged (right-click → Open does not bypass it). To fix:

  1. Open the .dmg and drag Open Science into Applications.
  2. Open Terminal (Spotlight → type "Terminal") and run: 
    xattr -cr "/Applications/Open Science.app"
    This only removes the quarantine flag macOS puts on files downloaded from the internet.
  3. Launch Open Science from Applications as usual.

Windows — SmartScreen

If SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway.
