Third pre-release — and the first with a Linux build.

Highlights since v0.2.0

First Linux build (AppImage)

  • A self-contained .AppImage (~41 MB, no .NET install needed). On Linux it uses your system QEMU + virt-viewer — install once with e.g. sudo apt install qemu-system-x86 qemu-utils virt-viewer (see packaging/README-FIRST-linux.txt). The Windows ZIP and Linux AppImage now ship side by side from one tag.

OS catalog — now five distros

  • Added Fedora Workstation 44 and Linux Mint 22.3 (Cinnamon), alongside Ubuntu 24.04 Desktop/Server and Debian 13 netinst. All checksum-verified (SHA-256).

Engineering

  • Cross-platform CI: every push builds + tests on Windows, macOS and Linux.
  • Boxwright.Qmp 0.3.0 on NuGet (no API changes since 0.1.0).

Honest notes

  • macOS packaging and code signing are still to come.
  • On Windows, QEMU (WHPX) is slower than VMware/VirtualBox.
  • Not code-signed yet (SmartScreen on Windows; the AppImage just needs chmod +x).

Install

  • Windows: download Boxwright-0.3.0-win-x64.zip, extract, run Boxwright.App.exe (QEMU bundled).
  • Linux: download Boxwright-0.3.0-x86_64.AppImage, chmod +x, run it (install qemu + virt-viewer first).
