Cadence 0.1.2

Highlights

• Refreshed Cadence. brand kit (Cantarell Extra Bold lockup, mark, social banner)
• In-app branding: header wordmark typography, empty-state icon, About dialog links
• Documentation restructured to match the studio layout — root SETUP.md, docs index, FAQ
• Fixed invalid GTK CSS margin-end warning from the brand row stylesheet

Install (Flatpak bundle)

The .flatpak is app-only (a few MB). You need the GNOME Platform runtime from Flathub once (~1 GB).

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --user flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install --user -y org.gnome.Platform//49
flatpak install --user ./cadence-0.1.2.flatpak
flatpak run org.cadence.Cadence

If GNOME Software shows two Local file options, choose USER.

Cadence 0.1.1 — Flatpak clean-install fix

Flatpak clean-install fix for the early public beta.

Highlights

• Targets GNOME Platform 49 (48 is end-of-life and no longer usable for clean Flathub installs)
• Release bundle includes a Flathub --runtime-repo hint so missing runtimes can be resolved
• Docs clarify that the .flatpak is app-only and needs the Platform runtime once

Install

The release .flatpak is app-only (a few MB). You need the GNOME Platform from Flathub once (~1 GB).

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --user flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install --user -y org.gnome.Platform//49
flatpak install --user ./cadence-0.1.1.flatpak
flatpak run org.cadence.Cadence

GNOME Software: if you open the .flatpak and see two Local file options, choose the one tagged USER. The default (system-wide) often hangs on Preparing on a fresh machine. Prefer the terminal commands above when you can.
