PyxForge v3.0.0-rc.2

A native developer workbench built with Go and Fyne.

PyxForge 3.0.0-rc.2 introduces a packaged Windows distribution, making it easier to install and run PyxForge without cloning the repository or setting up the Go development environment.

This release candidate focuses on Windows installation, portable distribution, editor integration, and developer-tool discovery.

Highlights

  • Windows Installer: Install PyxForge using a conventional Windows setup wizard.
  • Portable Distribution: Run PyxForge from a downloadable ZIP archive.
  • Native Desktop Application: Retains the existing Go and Fyne architecture.
  • Integrated Editor: Includes the PyxForge Neovim configuration and bundled Neovim distribution.
  • Developer Tool Detection: Identify missing development tools and configure executable paths through PyxForge Doctor.
  • User Data Preservation: Designed to preserve user settings and projects during upgrades and uninstallation.
  • Offline-First Design: Preserves the existing offline-first behavior and no-telemetry policy.

Downloads

Windows Installer — Recommended

PyxForge-Setup-3.0.0-rc.2.exe

Portable Edition

PyxForge-Portable-3.0.0-rc.2.zip

Important Notes

  • This is a release candidate, not a stable production release.
  • The Windows installer and application binaries are currently unsigned. Windows SmartScreen may display a warning when launching them.
  • Compatibility testing on clean Windows environments is still ongoing.
  • Back up important projects and configuration files before testing pre-release builds.
