SaidaEngine 1.0.0 Beta 4

Windows editor distribution

SaidaEngine 1.0.0 Beta 4 is the first self-contained Windows editor distribution.

• The editor, Hub, runtime template and CLI now resolve every shipped resource beside the installed executable; writable state and developer projects live under the current Windows user profile.
• The portable ZIP and the per-user installer contain the same inventoried payload.
• Both formats are fail-closed tested through Hub/editor/CLI startup, WitnessGame export, first run, persisted restart, exact installer payload comparison and uninstall.
• All four executables carry Windows product/version metadata.
• The repository now contains the reproducible human/LLM publication runbook in RELEASE.md.

Install on Windows 11 x64

Portable: extract SaidaEngine-v1.0.0-beta.4-windows-x64.zip, then run SaidaEngineHub.exe.

Installer: run SaidaEngine-v1.0.0-beta.4-windows-x64-Setup.exe. It installs for the current user and does not require administrator access.

No Visual C++ Redistributable, Vulkan SDK/runtime, MSYS2, CMake, Python, compiler or other build tool is required. The package includes GLFW and the Vulkan loader. The machine still needs a normal Intel, AMD or NVIDIA graphics driver exposing Vulkan 1.3.

This beta installer is unsigned (Authenticode: NotSigned), so Windows SmartScreen may display a warning.

Qualification

• Source commit: e497d76a889af758701cb75d635a4d83b123867f
• GitHub Actions: Windows native/full CTest/package, Web/Witness, Linux clean build/cross-OS determinism, and GHCR image publication all passed on 2026-08-25.
• The exact ZIP and installer below passed the complete packaged-layout test on Windows 11 hardware: clean extraction/install, Hub/editor/CLI launch, game export, first run, persisted restart and uninstall.
• Dependency closure contains bundled glfw3.dll and vulkan-1.dll with no missing DLL. additionalRuntimeInstall: false.

Linux editor distribution

A self-contained Linux x86_64 editor archive is now available with a verified per-user installer, portable mode, Hub, editor, native runtime template, CLI, shaders, assets, fonts, sample project and private ELF dependency closure.

Install on Linux x86_64

tar -xzf SaidaEngine-v1.0.0-beta.4-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd SaidaEngine-v1.0.0-beta.4-linux-x86_64
./install.sh
saidaengine-hub

The installer uses no sudo. It targets Ubuntu 22.04/24.04, Debian 12 and compatible x86_64 distributions with glibc 2.35+, X11/XWayland and a normal Intel, AMD or NVIDIA graphics driver exposing Vulkan 1.3. No Vulkan SDK, compiler, CMake, GLFW development package or other build tool is required. The hardware-specific graphics driver remains a normal system requirement.

See README-LINUX.md below for portable use, native game export, paths and uninstall instructions.

Linux qualification

• Linux asset source commit: 3aa0b8beb103210c474154a1662b0c787abb17f6 (recorded separately because this owner-authorized Linux addition was built after the immutable Beta 4 tag; the tag and every Windows asset remain unchanged).
• GitHub Actions run 32885121485 passed the complete build, all 83 native tests, payload hashes, isolated per-user installation, headless CLI, Hub Vulkan startup under Xvfb/lavapipe, installed-editor WitnessGame export, exported ELF dependency closure and uninstall.
• The package is compiled for baseline x86-64/SSE2; AVX/AVX2 are not required.
• additionalRuntimeInstall: false; the GPU driver is the only machine-specific runtime requirement.
