PHOENIX 0.1.8 preview

Highlights

  • Swipe vertically between control decks, with pre-rendered neighbours and the same animation timing as horizontal workspace swipes.
  • Show plotted routes and query results in the shared Galactic Atlas, with closer zoom, labels, 3D view, live layers and selection details.
  • Consistent square toolbar controls, schematic pinch zoom and distance display.
  • Reorder decks by dragging, rename with automatic saving, and use the revised top-rail navigation. Notes now live under LOG; Exobiology is under Activities.
  • Journal-only Powerplay, colonisation and Fleet Carrier proposals are explicitly work in progress. Gameplay validation is needed; CAPI is not integrated.
  • Reduce SQLite startup writes, fix the carrier-schema upgrade, and improve development hot reload.

Installers

Back up your PHOENIX user data before upgrading. Installers do not self-update.

  • Windows x64: PHOENIX-windows-x64-setup.exe. Unsigned; an unknown-publisher/SmartScreen warning is possible. Do not disable security protections.
  • Linux x64: PHOENIX-linux-x64.AppImage. Mark it executable and launch it. Requires a modern glibc-based desktop (glibc >= 2.34); Wayland input requires a keyboard-capable RemoteDesktop portal. Quit the previous image with its --stop option before replacing it.
  • Git and Node.js are not required. Catalogue refreshes and online queries require internet access; optional Copilot use needs your own provider credentials.
  • SHA256SUMS and the platform manifests identify the exact assets and source. Checksums do not replace code signing.
  • EDDN production uploads remain gated off.

Verification and limits

Both native source and installer gates passed for tag v0.1.8, source 5c95243cd6040b106e995484a5b136a54e503924.
Tagged release verification covers Linux AppRun/extract-and-run and Windows install/launch/shutdown/uninstall with simulated input. Downloaded assets were independently checked against the original checksums and their version/source/channel manifests before publication.

Real installed-device upgrades, retained-data checks, tablet/LAN pairing, Elite input, desktop portals and antivirus acceptance remain pending for this exact build. This is a prerelease, not stable/latest.
