BiBCode v0.5.9 fixes Git network operations from the Linux AppImage and adds
repeatable compatibility coverage for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch.

Linux Git compatibility

  • Fixed Fetch origin and other system Git operations failing from the Linux
    AppImage with symbol lookup error when Fedora's libcurl loaded an
    incompatible libnghttp2 bundled by the AppImage.
  • Isolated Git and source-control helper processes from both the current
    AppImage library directory and stale .mount_* directories inherited after
    application updates. This applies to text and binary-output Git commands.
  • Preserved unrelated host library directories, credential and SSH-agent
    settings, command-local environment overrides, and Linux loader semantics for
    current-directory entries. The desktop process environment remains unchanged.
  • Kept ordinary non-AppImage server launches unchanged and avoided
    distribution-specific library paths, so the fix uses each host's own system
    Git dependency set.

Validation and supported distributions

  • Added a production-runner regression that builds an intentionally
    incompatible shared library, proves the system Git HTTPS helper fails when it
    loads that library, and verifies the patched runner restores normal helper
    initialization without contacting an external Git server.
  • Added CI coverage using system Git on Debian 12 and 13, Ubuntu 22.04 and
    24.04, Fedora 44, and Arch rolling. Coverage includes extracted AppImages,
    paths containing spaces, stale mounts, colon and semicolon separators, and
    parent-environment isolation.
  • Reproduced the original Fedora failure and verified a patched dry-run fetch
    against the affected repository completed without a loader error or changing
    refs or FETCH_HEAD.
  • Updated the Linux testing runbook, runtime architecture, CI reference, and
    script reference to define the cross-distribution Git compatibility contract
    and distinguish it from complete packaged desktop qualification.

Downloads

On macOS, copy BiBCode.app from the DMG to Applications before launching it.

Desktop installers and standalone server distributions are provided for macOS,
Linux, and Windows on ARM64 and x64. Linux server .deb and .rpm packages are
included for both architectures. Stable desktop updater payloads and signatures
remain available through latest.json.
