aterm is the terminal for AI. New here? What each file is:

  • aterm-0.71.0.dmg — the signed, notarized app as a drag-install DMG (~28 MB). The ALab toolchain installs itself on first launch (or on demand via aterm pkg install --default-set).
  • aterm-0.71.0-mac.zip — the same app as a zip (~26 MB); this is the container the in-app updater and Homebrew stage from.
  • aterm.dmg / aterm-mac.zip — permanent releases/latest/download/ names for the DMG and the zip above (byte-identical copies).
  • .sha256 files verify a download: shasum -a 256 -c <asset>.sha256.
  • aterm-appcast.toml / aterm-machines.toml (and their .sig) are consumed by the in-app self-updater — not for humans.
  • Releases named atpkg-index-N are machine-readable package indexes, not app releases.

Changed

  • The cursor rainbow is a proper sky rainbow again. It runs red, orange,
    yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet — and between green and blue it passes
    through cyan, because that is what a rainbow does. aterm used to forbid that
    crossing, and the machinery enforcing it could only do so by draining the
    colour out of exactly that part of the arc: the fold it used preserves
    brightness, so what it produced was not a paler blue but a bright grey. That
    grey was most visible in the streak a jumping cursor leaves behind. The
    crossing now keeps its own colour, and the ribbon reads continuously across
    all seven hues — measurably more of them (12 distinct hues on the release
    paint probe, up from 10) at the same brightness.
