First public beta

This is the first manual-testing beta of SaidaEngine 1.0.0. It establishes the baseline for the iterative Beta 1 → Beta 2 → release-candidate qualification cycle.

Included

  • Vulkan desktop editor, Hub and standalone runtime
  • WebAssembly/WebGPU player and authoring surfaces
  • headless saida_tool validation and deterministic scene folding
  • WitnessGame end-to-end test project
  • CI-verified Windows, Web and Debian headless builds
  • contribution guidance in CONTRIBUTING.md and LLM instructions in AGENTS.md

Validation

The release commit 21d76d12f529578444e1794ae4a145d632a68a0f passed the complete Saida Engine CI: 70 native tests, Windows Witness and reproducible installer checks, Web builds and Witness, Linux tests, cross-OS deterministic fold, compliance artifacts, symbols and GHCR publication.

The unsigned Windows editor executable attached below was rebuilt from that exact clean tag. The local rebuild passed 70/70 CTest and the native runtime round-trip contract.

Unsigned Windows editor executable

Download both SaidaEngine-v1.0.0-beta.1-windows-x64-unsigned.exe and glfw3.dll into the same directory.

  • Architecture: Windows x64
  • Build: RelWithDebInfo with external debug information removed
  • Source commit: 21d76d12f529578444e1794ae4a145d632a68a0f
  • SHA-256: 4ce5649a09c8cfa6a1e4aca402862a0c5eb5e1de75d95ee794047dff94001ec4
  • Authenticode: not signed

This is a raw developer beta executable, not an installer or a qualified Windows distribution. This Beta 1 build still resolves compiled shaders and editor assets from its source/build tree, so it is intended for developer and signing-provenance testing rather than portable installation. A portable Windows package must be produced in a subsequent immutable beta.

Manual testing status

Manual engine qualification starts with this beta. Defects found during testing will be fixed in Beta 2 and subsequent immutable betas. A release candidate will be created only after the beta test cycle is accepted.

Important limitations

  • This is a pre-release and is not production-ready.
  • The Windows installer is not attached or qualified until Authenticode signing is completed.
  • Hardware, browser and XR coverage remains limited to the support matrix and known limits in SPEC.md.
  • Compatibility between beta format revisions is not promised before the stable release.

Source archives are generated automatically from this immutable tag. The headless container is available as ghcr.io/saias-o/saida-tool:21d76d12f529578444e1794ae4a145d632a68a0f.
