v0.6.0

Desktop builds

Linux AppImage and Apple Silicon macOS DMG builds are attached to this release.

Running the macOS app

The macOS app is not signed because we are not paying Apple's ransom fee to distribute the app through Apple's signing and notarization program. Because of that, macOS may block the app after you copy it to Applications.

After copying Dez.app to /Applications, run:

xattr -cr /Applications/Dez.app

Then open Dez from /Applications.

Changes

• Model listing is now cached to ~/.config/dez/model_cache.json so models list appears instantly after first run (#7)
• Default model setting reuses model listing component and lets you use the previous model (#2)

• Random polish
