v1.5.4

This release smooths out the in-app update check and adds an email verification step when you deactivate a device.

Downloading

If you're installing manually:

macOS

  • Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer): download OnyxCode-darwin-arm64.dmg (smaller, native).
  • Intel Mac, or unsure: download OnyxCode-darwin-universal.dmg (runs on both).

Open the .dmg and drag Onyx Code to /Applications/. Both macOS downloads are signed and notarized by Apple, so they pass Gatekeeper and open without security warnings.

Linux (x64)

  • Debian / Ubuntu: download OnyxCode-linux-x64.deb and install it with sudo apt install ./OnyxCode-linux-x64.deb.
  • Other distributions: download OnyxCode-linux-x64.AppImage, make it executable (chmod +x), and run it. On Ubuntu 24.04 (which lacks libfuse2) run it with --appimage-extract-and-run.

Windows (x64)

Windows support is on the way through winget (winget install OnyxCode), which will be the recommended way to install once it's published: it runs through Microsoft's App Installer (a trusted Microsoft Store app) with a package listing reviewed in Microsoft's community winget repository, so it verifies the download and gives a smoother first-run experience. winget is not available yet, so for now the only way to install on Windows is to download the attached OnyxCode-win32-x64-winget.exe and run it manually. It is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen warns "Windows protected your PC"; click More info, then Run anyway to continue. A code-signed installer is planned for a later release.

The *-autoupdate.zip, darwin-*.json, linux-x64.json, and win32-x64.json files are plumbing for Onyx Code's built-in updater. They are not designed for manual install and will give you a worse first-run experience than the DMG / DEB / AppImage.

What's new

  • Smoother "Check for Updates." Checking for updates from the About dialog now shows the result right there in the dialog, so you get clear feedback at a glance.
  • Verified device deactivation. Releasing this device from your Onyx Code Pro license now asks for a 6-digit code emailed to your purchase address, the same inbox check used when you activate. A device can no longer be deactivated without your confirmation, and you still get a notification email once it's done.

System requirements

  • macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later.
  • Apple Silicon (M1-M4) or Intel Mac. The Universal download runs on both.

Installing

  1. Download the DMG for your Mac (see Downloading above).
  2. Open it and drag Onyx Code into Applications.
  3. Launch it from Applications or Spotlight.

Verification

This build is signed and notarized by Apple. macOS verifies it on first launch, so it opens as an app from an identified developer without security warnings.

Security

For your safety, downloads for older versions have been removed. Always install the latest release, which carries the most recent security fixes.
