BONE 0.9.4
BONE 0.9.4
One conversational Agent with persistent internal Jobs, a native Rust TUI, and Rig model connections.
What's included
- A rebuilt single-package core: durable Jobs, multi-turn context, interruption, recovery, and protected unknown writes.
- A Ratatui workspace with session history, Markdown, live model and tool progress, retained drafts, and explicit question replies.
/connectfor saved API connections or ChatGPT subscription login;/modelaccepts the provider's native model name. Existing local Codex login can be reused.- Two-line session entries with a name, actual state, local activity time, and distinct current/selection indicators.
/newopens the composer; empty sessions do not occupy the sidebar. - Native Windows shell execution, process-tree cancellation, atomic file replacement, private credential files, editor, and clipboard support.

Each archive contains the executable, INSTALL.txt, README, and MIT license. SHA256SUMS covers the release files; release-builds.json records the exact source commit, target, toolchain, and archive hash.
macOS builds target macOS 15 or newer. Windows builds are tested on Windows Server 2025 (x64) and Windows 11 (ARM64); use an interactive terminal, preferably Windows Terminal. Linux binaries use static musl and do not require glibc. Optional Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Candle integrations are source-build features, not included in these standard binaries. Keyboard handling depends on the terminal.
Install
Extract the archive for your platform. On macOS/Linux:
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
install -m 755 bone ~/.local/bin/bone
bone --version
boneAdd ~/.local/bin to your PATH if needed. On Windows, run ./bone.exe in PowerShell or copy bone.exe into a directory on your user PATH.
Start with /connect to choose your model connection; /new begins another conversation. Git is needed for Git diff features. Model use requires a supported provider's credentials or a compatible ChatGPT subscription.
Windows shell commands use cmd.exe. Use a local drive or map a network workspace to a drive letter; shell execution refuses UNC working directories because cmd.exe would otherwise switch to the Windows directory. Clipboard copying preserves Unicode text and uses Windows CRLF line endings.
Compatibility and verification
The rebuilt core uses ~/.bone/v2 (under USERPROFILE on Windows) and does not migrate the old 0.4.x runtime state. Existing 0.9.x state remains in that directory. Use a private user directory for data and credentials.
All six native runners must pass the Rust unit/integration suite and both original and extracted-binary CLI smoke checks before this release is published. These checks use local protocol fixtures; they do not certify every provider or personal login. The archives are not code-signed or notarized.
