RFdude Smith Chart V2 0.1.0 (build-41687031941-1)

Automated RFdude Smith Chart V2 0.1.0 pre-release.

Source commit: 92bdd8b0ad22fbda701e37e9ac5654d42090539c

Passing build and test run. Linux x64 DEB and AppImage, Windows x64, macOS Intel, and macOS Apple Silicon jobs passed. Linux packaging checks private Qt paths, dependency resolution, and extracted launcher startup under Xvfb, and both AppImage build inputs are checksum-pinned; macOS builds verify the executable architecture before publication.

Installers are unsigned and unsupported; macOS DMGs are not notarized. CI checks do not replace clean-machine installation/uninstallation testing.

Linux Qt stays private under /usr/lib/rfdudesmithchartv2; only a launcher is installed in /usr/bin. Do not reuse the original unsafe v0.1.0 Linux installer. See the KDE recovery guidance if you previously installed it.

SHA-256 checksums and source/build metadata are attached. A new build has a unique release tag; previous release assets are never overwritten.

RFdude Smith Chart V2 0.1.0

Important Linux installer correction - October 30, 2026

The original Linux v0.1.0 installer was unsafe on KDE desktops and has been withdrawn. Download rfdudesmithchartv2_0.1.0-1_amd64.deb instead. The Windows installer is unchanged.

What happened

The original RFdudeSmithChartV2-0.1.0-linux-x64.deb (Debian version 0.1.0) installed a shared /usr/bin/qt.conf, Qt 6.8.3 libraries in /usr/lib, and plugins in /usr/plugins. The shared configuration can redirect other Qt applications to incompatible runtime plugins. Dolphin crashes and failure to load the KDE Plasma desktop were reported on two Kubuntu 26.04 LTS computers.

The corrected Debian revision 0.1.0-1 keeps the executable, Qt configuration, libraries, and plugins private under /usr/lib/rfdudesmithchartv2. Only a launcher goes in /usr/bin. Do not reuse or redistribute copies of the old installer.

Recovery if you installed the original package

If the desktop is unavailable, switch to a text console with Ctrl+Alt+F3, or connect over SSH, and log in. First preview removal:

sudo apt-get -s remove rfdudesmithchartv2

If the proposed removal is limited to RFdude, remove it and refresh the loader cache:

sudo apt-get remove rfdudesmithchartv2
sudo ldconfig
sudo reboot

If removal proposes deleting desktop/system packages, stop and seek administrator assistance. Do not use autoremove, manually delete system Qt libraries, or remove KDE/Qt packages as a workaround. If problems persist after removal and reboot, seek administrator assistance rather than deleting more files.

After recovery, optionally install the corrected package:

sudo apt install ./rfdudesmithchartv2_0.1.0-1_amd64.deb
dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}\n' rfdudesmithchartv2

The installed version must be 0.1.0-1. The fixed package also supersedes the original through a normal package upgrade; recovering the desktop by removing the original first is the recommended procedure for affected systems.

Validation and provenance

• The corrected package was tested on both Kubuntu 26.04 LTS computers that experienced the original failure. Both worked with the corrected package and it was subsequently uninstalled.
• Linux CI passed all 33 tests and verified the extracted package's private Qt library resolution, private XCB plugin loading, and launcher startup without installing it.
• Corrected Linux package: commit cf286c69dc089027fc32e3fae3b9d2e04988fa4a, successful Actions build.
• Windows installer remains the original asset from commit d547047c21db11557a51447ccac773052f41d1a8, original Actions build.
• Updated SHA-256 checksums are attached. This is not exhaustive clean-machine or distribution compatibility certification.

About this release

Initial unsupported pre-release of RFdude Smith Chart V2. Downloads include a Linux x64 Debian package and Windows x64 setup installer; macOS packages are not included.

The application and installers are provided as-is, without support or planned maintenance. Both installers are unsigned; Windows may display an unknown-publisher or SmartScreen warning.

The source code and supplied examples are licensed under MIT; see LICENSE and NOTICE.txt for scope and third-party notices. The v0.1.0 source tag is unchanged; the corrected Linux installer was built from the later commit identified above.
