Validation

v2.0.0

Unified Avalonia v2.0.0 is the first stable release built on the Avalonia cross-platform application. It officially deprecates the older Windows WPF application line (v1.8.x and prior) and the Avalonia Preview tracks.

Unified Avalonia Preview 0.3.1

Unified Avalonia Preview 0.3.1 is the current combined Windows/macOS preview release. It is a patch release for the Rust-enabled unified preview line after the forced-Rust Windows corpus stability pass.

Recorded validation evidence:

  • Windows forced-Rust corpus stability PR: #74, merged as 05550fe3817a8186b45aac3ceb82bcf94110e1f0.
  • GitHub checks on PR #74 and the merged main commit passed: Windows CI, macOS Avalonia, SonarQube/SonarCloud, CodeQL, dependency review, and dependency submission.
  • Local macOS regression review after PR #74 passed the unified Avalonia build and tests, forced-Rust playback tests, the split Mac build/tests, package smoke validation, and the Mac corpus release-candidate validator.
  • Release target: 5e96c8cc1ae58b5f8edf28b30e4776ea99b6fa05.
  • Windows ZIP: FramePlayer-Windows-x64-unified-preview-0.3.1.zip, including frameplayer_ffmpeg_probe.dll beside FramePlayer.Avalonia.exe.
  • Windows SHA256: 439b6ac5f90d5c5e84ce4a4c4374b670e06e9447643e292551bba319e5fb652f.
  • macOS ZIP: FramePlayer-macOS-arm64-unified-preview-0.3.1.zip, including libframeplayer_ffmpeg_probe.dylib beside the app executable.
  • macOS SHA256: e3776ea9a7f2643d7c77e18b3d7207d0cd721f6af439a2998ecf9d382fda1f29.
  • Release: Frame Player Unified Preview 0.3.1
  • Apple notarization submission: cdf36d19-1c75-4d34-8144-b6522cef0d87.

Additional Rust-path validation should force all three modes with FRAMEPLAYER_FFMPEG_INDEX_BUILDER=rust, FRAMEPLAYER_FFMPEG_DECODE_CORE=rust, and FRAMEPLAYER_FFMPEG_FRAME_CONVERTER=rust so fallback cannot hide native-path failures.

Unified Avalonia Preview 0.3.0

Unified Avalonia Preview 0.3.0 was published on 2026-05-09 as the first Rust-enabled combined Windows/macOS preview release. It is the first combined preview to ship the Rust FFmpeg native pipeline in both platform packages.

Recorded validation evidence:

  • Rust pipeline merge PR: #69, merged as 3902a121f634e80dd7058ca547f1eb36736e9950.
  • @codex review: completed with no major issues reported.
  • GitHub checks on PR #69 passed: Windows CI, macOS Avalonia, SonarQube/SonarCloud, CodeQL, dependency review, and dependency submission.
  • Release-prep and package-cleanup PR checks passed before publication.
  • Release target: bdd9829e08fad1deed94b687405494a14e84e90c.
  • Windows ZIP was rebuilt with the Rust DLL and pinned FFmpeg runtime files, inventoried for required package contents, and validated by SHA256.
  • macOS ZIP was Developer ID signed, notarized, stapled, extracted, and accepted by Gatekeeper.
  • Uploaded GitHub release assets were downloaded and revalidated by SHA256; the downloaded macOS ZIP was extracted and accepted by Gatekeeper.

Published Unified Preview details:

  • Windows ZIP: FramePlayer-Windows-x64-unified-preview-0.3.0.zip, including frameplayer_ffmpeg_probe.dll beside FramePlayer.Avalonia.exe.
  • Windows SHA256: 9df3e95afee515832902c5f1e26ba752879080a42ad2d38c0d579b3e16c39b2b
  • macOS ZIP: FramePlayer-macOS-arm64-unified-preview-0.3.0.zip, including libframeplayer_ffmpeg_probe.dylib beside the app executable.

  • Apple notarization submission: 421c32c3-f0da-4436-9ef1-7ac2b4e22237

Additional Rust-path validation should force all three modes with FRAMEPLAYER_FFMPEG_INDEX_BUILDER=rust, FRAMEPLAYER_FFMPEG_DECODE_CORE=rust, and FRAMEPLAYER_FFMPEG_FRAME_CONVERTER=rust so fallback cannot hide native-path failures.

Unified Avalonia Preview 0.2.0

Unified Avalonia Preview 0.2.0 was validated as the first synchronized Windows/macOS preview on 2026-05-04. The Rust FFmpeg integration was added after the original published artifact validation; rebuilt unified-preview artifacts must also include frameplayer_ffmpeg_probe.dll on Windows or libframeplayer_ffmpeg_probe.dylib on macOS. The native library contains the runtime probe, exact decoded-frame global index builder, indexed decode-window helper, and BGRA frame converter. Use FRAMEPLAYER_FFMPEG_INDEX_BUILDER=managed|rust|auto, FRAMEPLAYER_FFMPEG_DECODE_CORE=managed|rust|auto, and FRAMEPLAYER_FFMPEG_FRAME_CONVERTER=managed|rust|auto to force parity checks; auto uses Rust when available and falls back to the managed path.

Recorded validation evidence:

  • Release target: 585a277f4c6c939562d1fdd10de2c31370b4ebb6.
  • GitHub checks on the release target passed: Windows CI, macOS Avalonia, SonarQube, CodeQL, and dependency submission.
  • PR #65 and PR #66 received @codex review; no major issues were reported after the final changes.
  • Windows packaged smoke was GO, including H.264/AAC playback, seek-after-playback, and nonzero endpoint audio evidence.
  • Windows ZIP was rebuilt from the release target with pinned FFmpeg runtime archives restored from the checked-in manifests and validated by SHA256 before packaging.
  • macOS ZIP was Developer ID signed, notarized, stapled, extracted, and accepted by Gatekeeper.

Superseded Split Previews

The split macOS Preview 0.1.1 and Windows Avalonia Preview 0.1.0 releases are superseded by Unified Avalonia Preview 0.3.1. They remain available only as historical validation and provenance records.

Windows Stable

Windows stable remains v1.8.4. Its WPF source path, build path, tests, runtime bootstrap, and release process are intentionally separate from Unified Avalonia Preview.

Screenshot Validation

The checked-in screenshots in docs/assets/screenshots/ are real app screenshots. The macOS captures were refreshed from the installed app during this documentation pass. The Windows captures were refreshed from the built WPF v1.8.4 app surface at 1280x820. No loaded-video Windows screenshots were available locally for this pass.
