FieldAssist 0.16.0

[0.16.0] - 2026-09-26

Miscellaneous Tasks

• Publish MSIX, DMG, and Linux tarball only

Windows (MSIX)

Per-user install (one-time publisher trust needs an elevated
PowerShell; package install/upgrade does not):

Import-Certificate -FilePath .\FieldAssist-windows.cer `
  -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\TrustedPeople
Add-AppxPackage -Path .\FieldAssist-0.16.0.msix

Later upgrades: download the newer .msix and run
Add-AppxPackage again (same certificate). Uninstall with
Get-AppxPackage FieldAssist | Remove-AppxPackage.

macOS (DMG)

The package is self-signed (not notarized), so Gatekeeper may block
the download. To open FieldAssist-0.16.0.dmg:

1. In Finder: Control-click the DMG → Open → Open
2. Or: System Settings → Privacy & Security → scroll to the
   blocked-app message → Open Anyway
3. Or clear quarantine and mount:

xattr -cr ~/Downloads/FieldAssist-0.16.0.dmg
open ~/Downloads/FieldAssist-0.16.0.dmg

Then drag FieldAssist to Applications. Trusting
FieldAssist-macos.cer in Keychain Access can help subsequent
launches of the app.

After installing, use FieldAssist → Install CLI Tools to
place field-play and field-batch on /usr/local/bin
(administrator password required once).

Linux (tarball)

Download FieldAssist-0.16.0-x86_64-linux.tar.gz, then:

tar -xzf FieldAssist-0.16.0-x86_64-linux.tar.gz
cd FieldAssist-0.16.0-x86_64-linux
sudo ./install.sh

That installs FieldAssist, field-play, and field-batch
into /usr/local/bin. Use ./install.sh --prefix DIR (or
PREFIX=DIR ./install.sh) for a custom prefix. The GUI needs a
desktop session with the usual ALSA and X11 client libraries; the
install script does not install packages.
