Eva 5.6.10
Highlights
- Modern static AppImage runtime: the launcher no longer requires host glibc or libfuse2.
- External AppImageUpdate support with embedded GitHub update information and a matching .zsync control file.
- Guided prerequisite checks, explicit runtime recovery, and one-time provider setup guidance.
- Coding workspaces enabled by default in AppImages; use --eva-no-workspaces for chat without the native terminal.
- Update-aware installed launchers, consistent desktop identity/icon, and preserved rollback builds.
- Release checks validate desktop metadata, native compatibility, update control data, and every embedded blockmap checksum. SHA256SUMS accompanies the Linux assets.
Downloads and requirements
Download the Linux x86_64 AppImage itself; the .zsync file is for differential-update tools. The Windows installer remains an experimental compatibility path.
The AppImage bundles the UI and bridge source, not every host dependency. Core chat needs Python 3.12+ with requests and cryptography. Copilot ACP additionally needs Node.js 24+ and authenticated Copilot CLI; direct OpenAI and LM Studio chat do not require Copilot. The supported Linux baseline uses glibc 2.35+ and Electron-compatible desktop libraries.
Older AppImages without update metadata need a one-time download of this release before external AppImageUpdate tools can discover subsequent releases. Checksums verify download integrity but are not publisher signatures.
Validation
Main CI and both release builds passed. Local validation covered normal and extraction-mode startup, runtime repair, native terminals, workspace opt-out, preference persistence, and exact differential reconstruction. Two stale briefing CI fixtures were corrected without changing application behavior.
