Nivune v0.2.0-preview.4

Nivune v0.2.0-preview.4

Preview 4 is the first release under the Nivune name. It keeps relationship analytics local while expanding the product from point-in-time lists into a private audience history.

Highlights

• Original Nivune data-iris identity and application icons
• User-confirmed observation dates and audience trend history
• Comparisons between any two snapshots, smart lists, and per-username relationship timelines
• Authenticated passphrase-encrypted portable backups with validated restore
• Stronger archive, ZIP64, compressed-work, paging, and atomic-export boundaries
• Refreshed task-based documentation with a synthetic, reproducible UI tour

Upgrade notes

On first launch, Nivune looks for the former application database at app.insight.local/insight.db. When no Nivune database exists, it copies that history transactionally into app.nivune.local/nivune.db and retains the original file as a recovery copy. It never overwrites an existing Nivune database.

Backup encryption protects portable backup files. The live SQLite database remains unencrypted and depends on operating-system account and disk protection.

Downloads and verification

The release workflow publishes MSI and setup EXE installers for Windows x86-64, a DMG for macOS Apple Silicon, and AppImage, DEB, and RPM packages for Linux x86-64. Verify the selected file against SHA256SUMS before installing.

These preview artifacts are not code-signed or notarized, so operating systems may show an unknown-developer warning. Do not disable system security controls globally.

Known dependency advisory

GitHub reports the moderate glib advisory GHSA-wrw7-89jp-8q8g in Tauri's transitive Linux GTK dependency line. Static source inspection found no Nivune or framework consumer calling the affected VariantStrIter iterator API. The alert remains open because the current Tauri GTK stack cannot yet resolve to the fixed glib major version. This is a bounded prerelease risk assessment, not a claim that the dependency is patched.

Fame boundary

Fame remains privacy-engineering research. Public-profile retrieval, ranking runs, and Fame networking are unavailable; the application offers no direct Instagram access or fallback transport.

Windows and macOS packages are cross-built in GitHub Actions. Manual launch verification is reported separately and should not be inferred from a successful build alone.
