Cli Griderator 4.3.0 for Windows

Cli Griderator for Windows is now available: a standalone terminal grid for Windows 10 1903+ and Windows 11 on x64 PCs.

• Installer: download Cligriderator-4.3.0-windows-x64-Setup.exe, run it, and open Cli Griderator from the Start menu. Installs per user without administrator access.
• Portable: extract the entire Cligriderator-4.3.0-windows-x64.zip, then open Cli Griderator.exe. Keep all accompanying files.
• The app runtime is included. No WSL, Python, Node.js, or package manager is required. PowerShell and Command Prompt come with Windows; coding agents and other tools require separate installation.
• Six panes open initially; use up to twenty per workspace, named workspaces, grid layouts, zoom, themes, search, copy/paste, a command palette, and confirmed broadcast commands.
• Closing the window keeps terminals running in the system tray. Double-click the tray icon to return. Exit and stop terminals ends running processes. Layouts and settings are saved, but processes and scrollback do not survive app exit or reboot.

The initial installer is unsigned, so Windows may display an unknown-publisher warning. Windows on ARM is not a verified target.

Linux/macOS command-line controls, tmux reconnection after application exit, stacked tabs, custom shortcut editing, quiet-hour rules, and automatic font fitting are not included in this Windows edition. Existing Linux/macOS settings are not imported. Windows settings live in %APPDATA%/Cli Griderator/settings.json and are retained when uninstalling.

This release fixes concurrent terminal shutdown and pins node-pty 1.2.0-beta.14 for Microsoft's upstream Windows handle-race fix (#922). SHA256SUMS.txt verifies the downloads.

Cli Griderator 4.3.0 for Linux

Linux packages for Cli Griderator 4.3.0, the GTK3/VTE terminal grid with persistent tmux sessions.

Downloads

• cligrid_4.3.0_all.deb: Debian, Ubuntu, and Pop!_OS package. Install from the download directory with sudo apt install ./cligrid_4.3.0_all.deb, then launch cligrid.
• cligrid-4.3.0.tar.gz: extract, enter the cligrid-4.3.0 directory, and run ./install as your normal desktop user. Launch ~/bin/cligrid.
• cligrid-4.3.0.zip: the same application and installer files in ZIP format.
• SHA256SUMS: verify downloaded files with sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing.

The Linux packages use system dependencies: Python 3.10+, PyGObject, GTK3, VTE 0.76+, and tmux. The Debian package declares its dependencies for apt; archive users must install them through their distribution's package manager. These downloads are not self-contained executables.

Verification

All 392 tests passed on the Linux build machine. The tarball was installed into an isolated directory and its launcher reported version 4.3.0. All nine application modules in the tarball, ZIP, and Debian package were verified against the release source. SHA-256 checksums accompany the downloads.

For macOS, use the separate Mac preview release. License terms are in LICENSE.

If macOS blocks the app

This preview is not Developer ID signed or notarized. Proceed only if you
trust this official download and accept the risks; approval does not certify
the app's security.

1. Try opening the installed app. For an unidentified-developer or
   cannot-check-for-malicious-software alert, dismiss it without deleting the app.
2. Open Apple menu > System Settings > Privacy & Security.
3. Under Security, find Cli Griderator and select Open Anyway.
4. Authenticate if asked and confirm Open.

If the button is absent, retry launching the app and check Settings again.
Managed Macs may require your administrator's approval. Never disable Gatekeeper
globally or use quarantine-removal commands. Stop if macOS reports malware,
damage, or that the app will damage your computer; report the message without
private data in Issues.

Apple's safe-opening instructions
explain this per-app exception.

Preview limitations

• Ad-hoc signed, not Developer ID signed or notarized. Gatekeeper may block
  this downloaded app; this is a testing preview.
• Intel builds are being prepared and are not included in this release.
• Clean-machine Finder/Gatekeeper and clipboard validation remain pending.

Verification

The installed app passed shell input/output, zoom, pane restart and tmux
session persistence across relaunch after ejecting the DMG, with Homebrew
access blocked. All 128 native binaries passed architecture/dependency checks,
and 166 focused tests passed. See packaging/macos/BUILD-REPORT.md for details
and the broader suite's known failures.
