Wave Hub 0.1.0 (pre-release)

The first release of Wave Hub: one place to install, update and open the Wave apps
(BigWave Radio, ChipWave Tracker and StreamWave). Free for Windows and Linux.

What's in it

  • One-click Install, Update and Open for every Wave app, with no dialogs.
  • One smooth progress bar through download, check and install, showing size, speed and time left,
    then a friendly "Installed!" and an Open button.
  • Update all, a clean Cancel, and problems shown on the card with a Retry button.
  • Every download is checked against the app's SHA256SUMS.txt before it's installed.
  • Apps are never replaced while they're open.
  • No admin password: portable versions on Windows and AppImages on Linux, in your own user folder.
  • Light theme by default, with a dark theme in About → Settings.
  • Community page with each app's Discussions, and "Check for updates" for Wave Hub itself.

Downloads

File For
WaveHub.exe Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit). Just run it; there's nothing to install.
WaveHub-linux-x86_64 Linux (64-bit). chmod +x WaveHub-linux-x86_64, then run it.
SHA256SUMS.txt Checksums for both files.

Windows may warn that the file is unrecognised because it isn't code-signed yet: choose
More info → Run anyway.

Known limits (why this is a pre-release)

  • StreamWave on Windows still needs testing on a real PC. StreamWave only ships an installer,
    so Wave Hub runs it silently (/S) and then finds the program. That flow has only been tried under
    Wine, where StreamWave's installer stops because Wine has no WebView2. Real Windows 10/11 normally
    has WebView2, so it should work, but it hasn't been confirmed yet.
  • ChipWave Tracker has no Linux download yet, so on Linux Wave Hub links to its build-from-source
    instructions.
  • Wave Hub tells you when a newer Wave Hub is out and links to the download; it doesn't replace
    itself yet.
  • No tray icon yet.
