claudius 0.2.0

Added

• studio: Download the sample packs from the studio (#17)
• macos: claudius.app in a disk image, one app for Apple silicon and Intel Macs (#13)
• windows: An installer, with the studio in the Start menu (#14)
• linux: .deb, .rpm and AppImage packages, with the studio in the app menu (#15)

Changed

• critic: Read realness over eight windows, and encode the MP3 while the critic listens (#18)

Fixed

• packs: Setup installs a pack whose WAV files have a long fmt chunk, and gets the ears when a pack fails (#19)
• mcp: Wait for the ears to load before exiting, instead of crashing (#20)
• remake: Play a remake at a tempo its genre plays (#21)
• What a newcomer misread: download sizes, save messages, ears loading, MCP schemas (#22)
• critic: Advice a person can act on, instead of z-scores and near ties (#23)

Install

curl -fsSL https://github.com/devlato/claudius/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh

On Windows: irm https://github.com/devlato/claudius/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex, or the
installer, claudius-0.2.0-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.msi.
Or download an archive below. On a Mac, the app is in claudius-0.2.0-universal-apple-darwin.dmg:
open it and drag claudius to Applications. On Linux there are a .deb, an .rpm and an AppImage.
The -headless Linux archives have no studio window and need neither ALSA nor a display;
install.sh picks them when ALSA is missing, or with --headless. The Intel Mac and Windows
builds have no ears: their verdicts use meters and music theory.

SHA256SUMS lists the checksums of the archives and the install scripts. This checks that an archive
was built by this repository's release workflow, from main:

gh attestation verify <archive> --repo devlato/claudius \
  --signer-workflow devlato/claudius/.github/workflows/release.yml --source-ref refs/heads/main

claudius 0.1.0

The first public release.

Added

• A beatmaker that composes, arranges, mixes and masters songs in eight genres (house, deep house, techno, trap,
  lofi, drum and bass, synthwave, future bass), using real audio only: synthesized drums and synths, 162 sampled
  instruments from 14 freely licensed sample packs, Apple Loops when GarageBand is installed, and your own files.
• A critic that judges every render: loudness and tonal balance, the energy arc of the arrangement, music theory
  checks, and earshot's CLAP model for genre fit and production quality. Every issue names what to change.
• Mutation and evolution: songs change the way a producer would change them, and the critic keeps the better ones.
• A script language: Rhai with Strudel-style mini-notation patterns. Every song prints as a script that runs back
  into the same song.
• The studio, a native and web app (egui) with arrangement, step sequencer, mixer, harmony, script and verdict
  panels.
• MCP tools, over stdio and HTTP, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex and other assistants can make and edit songs
  while you listen, and skills that teach them the craft: making and editing songs, remixing recordings, and setting
  claudius up. claudius connect installs both.
• Analysis and remakes of any song: tempo, key, chords, sections and groove, rebuilt in any genre.
• claudius setup, doctor and connect for installing the sounds and models, checking an installation, and
  configuring assistants.
• Builds for macOS on Apple silicon and Intel (Intel Macs have no ears: their verdicts come from the meters and the
  theory checks), Linux on x86_64 and ARM64 with a headless build for machines without sound or a display, and
  Windows as a preview. One-line installers for each, which come with every release and are in its checksums.
