TBO 2.0.0

[wachin]

The first public build of TBO 2 — the Python and PyQt6 reimplementation of the
legacy TBO comic editor. Four platforms, all built from source by GitHub Actions.

Downloads

Platform	File	How to run it
Windows 10/11 (x64)	TBO-2.0.0.dev0-Windows-x64-portable.zip	Extract anywhere and run TBO.exe. Portable: no installer, no Python required.
macOS (Intel)	tbo-macos.zip	Unzip to get TBO.app, then move it wherever you like. The app is not signed or notarized, so on first launch use right-click → Open, or allow it under System Settings → Privacy & Security.
Linux — any distribution	TBO-2.0.0.dev0-x86_64.AppImage	chmod +x it, then run it. Needs FUSE; without it, run ./TBO-2.0.0.dev0-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run.
Debian / Ubuntu	tbo_2.0.0.dev0-1_all.deb	sudo apt install ./tbo_2.0.0.dev0-1_all.deb. Installs the application and its desktop entry, and uses the distribution's own python3-pyqt6 instead of bundling a second copy of Qt — so that package must be available.

All four artifacts scored zero detections when scanned on 2026-10-14. The
report for each exact file, with the SHA-256 to match it against, is documented
in docs/virustotal/:

Read that as what it is: a point-in-time signal, not a guarantee. VirusTotal
aggregates third-party engines and produces no verdicts of its own, the scores
drift as engines update, and several Windows-only engines cannot process an
AppImage or a .deb at all.

Built from source

These binaries were produced from commit 6e9f490 by the public workflow in
.github/workflows/build.yml:

Platform	Tool	Job
Windows	Nuitka	build-windows
macOS	PyInstaller	build-macos
Linux AppImage	PyInstaller + appimagetool	build-appimage
Linux .deb	debhelper / pybuild	build-deb

Source, workflow and artifacts are all public, so the binaries can be rebuilt
rather than trusted.

Notes

• The version strings inside the artifacts read 2.0.0.dev0; this tag is the
  first published build.
• Targets Python 3.11–3.12. The Windows and macOS bundles carry their own
  interpreter; the .deb uses the system one.
• Bug reports are welcome in
  Issues, and questions in
  Discussions.
