v0.2.0

clearCore now ships prebuilt Windows and macOS binaries — a Windows NSIS installer and a universal macOS .dmg (arm64 + x86_64), each with the Qt runtime bundled — alongside the existing Linux .tar.gz, AppImage, and .deb/.rpm.

The Windows/macOS installers are unsigned, so the OS warns on first launch. macOS: right-click the app → Open → Open. Windows: More info → Run anyway. See the README Download section.

🚀 Added

• feat(ci): Windows installer and universal macOS .dmg release assets (#65)

📖 Documentation

• docs: foreshadow RISC-V and broaden framing beyond MIPS (#61)

⚙️ CI / Internal

• ci: automate the develop → main release-promotion PR (#64)

What's Changed

• chore: remove unused cpu-logo.png (#55)
• docs: use social preview banner as README header image (#53)
• docs: add Zenodo DOI to CITATION.cff and README (#51)
• fix(ci): repair changelog workflow and promote CHANGELOG to 0.1.0 (#49)

🔄 Changed

• refactor(isa): introduce ISA-agnostic core (RISC-V groundwork) (#57)

📖 Documentation

• docs(wiki): document ISA-agnostic core split and RISC-V roadmap (#59)

---

This release is internal groundwork: it carves the ISA-agnostic isa:: core out of
the MIPS backend so a RISC-V (RV32I) backend can reuse the memory, register file,
pipeline state, and processor interface. No user-facing behavior change.

Full Changelog: v0.1.0...v0.1.1

v0.1.0

clearCore v0.1.0 turns the project into something you can cite and something you can download and run — no source build required.

(This is the first feature release since v0.0.1. Per Semantic Versioning, backward-compatible new functionality is a MINOR bump, so v0.1.0.)

📦 Downloadable binaries & packaging

• Self-contained AppImage of the Qt6 desktop GUI — download one file, chmod +x, and run it with no Qt or toolchain installed. (#43)
• Release automation: publishing a release now builds, tests, and attaches a clearCore-<version>-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz automatically. (#42)
• install() rules + CPack: cmake --install and .tar.gz/.deb/.rpm packaging, with a clean install tree (no dependency headers/cruft). (#41)

📣 Citation & community

• CITATION.cff — GitHub's "Cite this repository" button, ready for a Zenodo DOI. (#39)
• JOSS paper draft under paper/ for a future peer-reviewed, citable reference. (#40)
• Community health to 100%: CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, root CONTRIBUTING.md, and a pull-request template. (#39)
• Issue templates (bug report / feature request / custom) and a Sponsor button. (#35, #36, #38)

📖 Documentation

• README restructured for new-developer readability. (#25)
• Documented the Qt Quick/QML GUI and Nyxstone; corrected the test-suite count. (#21)

🔧 CI & internal

• Reduced PR job count with path filters and conditional jobs. (#23)
• Tightened the changelog workflow's top-level token permissions. (#27)
• Version set to 0.1.0 across the build, citation metadata, and wiki. (#47)

Full Changelog: v0.0.1...v0.1.0

v0.0.1

clearCore v0.0.1

First stable release of the clearCore MIPS CPU emulator.

What's included

• Terminal UI (number_system_converter) — number system converter + MIPS simulator via FTXUI
• Qt6 Widgets GUI (clearCore-gui) — dockable panels for datapath, registers, memory, pipeline trace, code editor, and statistics
• Qt Quick / QML GUI (clearCore-quick) — QML front end backed by the same core
• mips_core — single-cycle and pipelined (5-stage) MIPS CPU with hazard detection and forwarding
• nsc_core — number system converter (parse/format/convert between bases)

Test coverage

All 20 tests pass across unit, integration, Qt smoke, and MARS golden differential tests.

Building

```bash
cmake --preset debug # or: release, core-only, asan
cmake --build --preset debug
ctest --preset debug
```
