v2.5.1
d6ea27a

Fixes a regression in 2.5.0 on Linux. If you are on Linux, take this one.

2.5.0 added JACK to the standalone by linking it, which means that build refuses to start at all on a machine with no JACK library installed. Every release before it needed only libraries every Linux has. Most desktop systems do have a JACK library, and PipeWire provides one, but a bare system does not, and the failure is the program not opening.

The Linux package now holds two standalones:

  • hexter speaks ALSA and PulseAudio and runs anywhere, exactly as 2.4.1 did.
  • hexter-jack speaks JACK as well, and needs a JACK library present to start, which is why it is a separate file.

Pick your backend in Audio/MIDI Settings either way. Both workflows now build and check both binaries, so neither can quietly turn into the other.

Nothing changes on macOS, Windows, Android or iOS. Downloads for each platform are attached below. The Android APK is signed with a per-release key, so uninstall the previous version before installing this one.

Full details in CHANGELOG.md.
