ClearWrite 0.2.0 Beta 2 - Update Bootstrap
Pre-releaseClearWrite 0.2.0-beta.2
Windows x64 personal/noncommercial beta. Download the Setup EXE for normal
installation, or extract the entire ZIP and run ClearWrite.exe. Node.js/npm,
developer tools and separate dictionary downloads are not required.
Included
-
Setup-installed clients can check GitHub for updates automatically or manually,
download after approval, and restart/install after confirmation. No forced
updates, downgrades, AI-provider update calls, or automatic install-on-quit. -
Settings > Updates includes progress, cancellation, retry, a release-notes link,
and an automatic-check preference. ZIP/source copies remain manual-update only. -
Offline English spelling/basic grammar with Harper, expanded spelling candidates
and partial statistical context; no account needed. -
Optional Gemini and ChatGPT providers, with compiled ChatGPT DevKit dependencies.
-
Capability-based editor detection, isolated UIA3 hosted-editor reader, bounded
Scintilla fallback, and rejection of sliders/playback widgets as text editors. -
Personal dictionary, per-app controls, manual selection shortcut and writing panel.
-
Installer/uninstaller, ZIP alternative, getting-started instructions and checksums.
-
Packaged settings/credentials are stored per Windows user, not in install files.
Important limitations
- Beta, unsigned publisher. Check the source and SHA256SUMS.txt; do not disable
antivirus or company security policy to install. - Windows 10/11 x64 required; standard Windows PowerShell 5.1 and .NET components
must be available. ARM64 and 32-bit packages are not provided. - ChatGPT plan usage requires an eligible Plus/Pro account, successful consent,
account policy permission and available usage. A ChatGPT subscription alone is
not a guarantee of access. Actual ChatGPT login/inference is not yet verified
end-to-end for this release. Use your OWN account, never the developer's session. - This package includes the ChatGPT DevKit under its NONCOMMERCIAL license. This
does not permit employer/client/business operations merely because the app is
free. Read SIWC-DEVKIT-LICENSE.txt. ClearWrite's MIT license does not override it. - Unit tests and packaged smoke checks do not establish compatibility with every
editor. A clean-machine installer/uninstaller and full live-app matrix remain
outstanding; use the shortcut/copy fallback for unsupported editors. - Version 0.2.0-beta.1 needs one manual Setup upgrade to receive the updater.
- Update download integrity uses GitHub HTTPS and SHA-512 metadata. Windows
publisher signing still requires a certificate; this beta remains unsigned.
