First release with Linux downloads, and the first where dragging files out of Ferail into other apps works on macOS.

Downloads

  • macOS (Apple silicon, macOS 12+): Ferail-0.3.0.dmg — signed and notarized (Developer ID).
  • Linux (Ubuntu 22.04+/Debian): ferail_0.3.0-1_amd64.deb (Intel/AMD) and ferail_0.3.0-1_arm64.deb (ARM) — built and smoke-tested by CI.
  • Windows 10+ (x64): Ferail-0.3.0-win-x64.zip — portable, unsigned (SmartScreen will warn; SHA-256 below).

Highlights

  • Drag out of Ferail into Finder, the Desktop, or any app — with full Finder semantics (same-volume move, cross-volume copy, ⌥/⌘/⌃ modifiers, Esc cancels).
  • Linux packaging: freedesktop desktop entry, hicolor icon, correct dock/taskbar identity; volumes, trash, thumbnails, icons, Open With all working. Known Linux gaps: no file copy/paste to other file managers yet, no live theme/volume change notifications, "Open with Ferail" on a folder not wired.
  • Choose your terminal for "Open Terminal Here" (any emulator/app, custom args, admin mode).
  • Self-cost readout in the status bar: uptime, CPU, memory, redraws-per-second.
  • Fixes: folder sizes answered from cache, folders mislabelled as archives, permanent-delete discoverability, ISO-8859-1 text previews, read-only volume detection, an ARM-Linux build failure.

Full detail in CHANGELOG.md.

Verify the Windows download (unsigned): SHA-256:
