minisphere 4.5.6 is a maintenance release in the 4.5.x release series. This release reverts the switch to TypeScript in 4.5.5 as the change unacceptably degraded the Sphere Studio debugging experience. (note: TypeScript support is still planned, but is being postponed for miniSphere 5.0.)

Changes in This Version

  • Improves for...of iteration for from() queries. Only the values will now
    be enumerated, rather than key/value pairs.
  • Reverts to Babel as the default ES6 transpiler pending source map support.
  • Fixes a bug where a CommonJS module without a trailing newline and with a
    C++-style comment (//) on the last line causes require() to throw an
    erroneous SyntaxError.

Installing in Windows

Simply download and run minisphereSetup-4.5.6.exe. The Inno Setup install wizard will walk you through the installation process.

Installing in Linux

For Ubuntu (14.04 and later), minisphere is available via personal package archive (PPA):

Installing from a PPA is easy. Simply open Terminal and run the following commands (you only need to do this once, Ubuntu will keep it updated automatically from then on):

  • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fatcerberus/minisphere
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install minisphere

Users of Linux distributions other than Ubuntu will need to build the engine manually from the tarball (minisphere-4.5.6.tar.gz).
