Wave Hub 0.2.4

Wave Hub 0.2.4

Wave Hub is free, and always will be: one place to install, update and open the Wave apps
(BigWave Radio, ChipWave Tracker and StreamWave). No account, no ads, no tracking.
Made by Del (postmanpat).

What's new

• New website: postmanpat-303.github.io/WaveHub, with screenshots, the apps Wave Hub looks after and big download buttons.
• Download links that never go out of date. Each release now also has the main files without a version number in their names: WaveHub-setup-x64.exe, WaveHub-linux-x86_64.AppImage, WaveHub-linux-aarch64.AppImage and WaveHub-macos-universal.dmg. A link to …/releases/latest/download/WaveHub-setup-x64.exe always gets the newest one.
• The author is now shown as Del (postmanpat) in the About page, the licence, the Windows installer and the app's file details.
• The About page now says Wave Hub works on Windows, Linux and Mac.
• ChipWave Tracker downloads are now checksum-checked too, because ChipWave's releases now include a checksum list. This works in 0.2.3 as well.

Upgrading keeps your installed apps and settings. On Windows, run the new setup over the old one; it updates the same entry in Installed apps. On a Mac, replace Wave Hub in Applications with the new one.

Which file do I download?

Windows (10 and later, 64-bit)

• WaveHub-0.2.4-setup-x64.exe: the easy one. Installs Wave Hub just for you (no admin password), with a Start menu shortcut and an uninstaller.
• WaveHub-0.2.4-windows-x64.zip: no install. Unzip it anywhere and double-click WaveHub.exe.

Linux, regular PCs (x86_64)

• WaveHub-0.2.4-linux-x86_64.deb: Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Pop!_OS.
• WaveHub-0.2.4-linux-x86_64.rpm: Fedora, openSUSE.
• WaveHub-0.2.4-linux-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst: Arch, CachyOS, Manjaro, EndeavourOS (sudo pacman -U …).
• WaveHub-0.2.4-linux-x86_64.AppImage: any Linux. Make it runnable (chmod +x), then run it.
• WaveHub-0.2.4-linux-x86_64.tar.gz: any Linux, no package. Unpack it and run ./install.sh.

Linux, 64-bit ARM (Raspberry Pi 4/5 with a 64-bit OS, ARM laptops)

• The same five files with aarch64 in the name.

macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel)

• WaveHub-0.2.4-macos-universal.dmg: open it and drag Wave Hub into Applications. The first time, right-click Wave Hub and choose Open (it isn't notarised by Apple yet).
• WaveHub-0.2.4-macos-universal.zip: the same app, zipped.

Checking your download: SHA256SUMS.txt lists a checksum for every file, including the copies without a version number.

WaveHub.exe and WaveHub-linux-x86_64 are the bare programs under 0.1.0's names, so older
copies' "Check for updates" links still work. New downloads should use the files above.

Windows may say it "protected your PC" because Wave Hub isn't code-signed yet: choose
More info → Run anyway.

Known limits

• ChipWave Tracker has no Linux download yet. 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.
• Wave Hub isn't code-signed (Windows) or notarised (macOS) yet.

Tried it? Please say how it went in Discussions or open an issue. Thank you!

Thank you, storytold

Wave Hub was inspired by storytold's ArtCraft Launcher and their Craft apps such as PhotoCraft. Their one-click install and update flow showed the way. Wave Hub's code and artwork are its own.
