v1.7.2
8c3c6e7

This release puts you in control of when updates download and brings release notes right into the app, so you can see what changed at a glance.

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 auto-updater. They are not designed for manual install and will give
you a worse first-run experience than the download above.

What's new

  • You choose when to download an update. When a new version is available, Onyx Code shows it with a Download Update button and a badge on the Manage icon, so the download happens when you're ready. Once it finishes, click Restart to Update to switch over, with your work and settings preserved.
  • Release notes, right inside Onyx Code. After you update, the release notes for the new version open automatically so you can see what changed at a glance. You can also open them any time from Help → Show Release Notes, or from the Release Notes button on the update prompt and the title-bar version tooltip.
  • Air-Gap friendly. With Air-Gap Mode on, update checks and the in-app release notes stay fully offline, consistent with Onyx Code's no-network guarantee.

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.
