Gyro v0.1.0-alpha.28.4
Gyro v0.1.0-alpha.28.4
Gyro Alpha 28.4 is a Workspace-focused release that moves the coding surface
substantially closer to a full desktop editor while preserving Gyro's local,
agent-first workflow.
Download and install
Gyro requires macOS 14+ and is not Apple-signed or notarized. The application
uses a complete ad-hoc signature, so the first launch still requires Apple's
one-time Open Anyway approval.
Use the Gyro download site to select the
correct build, then follow the
macOS installation guide.
Do not disable Gatekeeper or remove quarantine globally.
What changed
- Workspace now has a dedicated VS Code-style Activity Rail for Explorer,
Search, Source Control, Run and Test, AI tools, and Workspace contributions. - The Workspace Activity Rail animates away when switching to Sessions, while
the Sessions sidebar moves cleanly to the window edge and Workspace layout
state is restored on return. - Multi-root projects can add and remove folders or be saved and reopened as
versioned.gyro-workspace.jsonfiles with per-folder settings. - Explorer gains richer file actions, multi-selection, contextual operations,
workspace-root awareness, document outlines, and dirty-buffer recovery. - Workspace Search supports include and exclude globs, Quick Open, structured
results, guarded replace previews, and multi-root result routing. - Source Control gains repository grouping, staged and unstaged sections,
batch selection, stage and discard actions, diff routing, and guarded commits. - Run and Test now exposes detected tasks, structured test results, debug
sessions, output channels, problems, terminals, and a persistent tool panel. - Workspace Trust gates executable project capabilities, including terminals,
tasks, tests, debugging, Git mutations, and replace operations. - User, Workspace, and Folder settings now resolve predictably for exclusions,
result limits, editor minimap behavior, keybindings, and local contributions. - Language tooling adds definition, reference, and rename request paths, while
provider commentary streaming is more resilient to cumulative or missing IDs. - Regression coverage now exercises Workspace persistence, multi-root routing,
trust boundaries, search and replace, SCM, tasks, tests, contributions,
keybindings, Activity Rail motion, and provider stream ordering.
Behavior changes and known limits
- New project roots may require an explicit trust decision before commands that
execute code or mutate Git state become available. - Removing a folder from a multi-root Workspace does not delete it from disk.
- Workspace files store folder membership and scoped editor preferences; they
do not embed project contents or credentials. - Language features still require a compatible local language server.
- Debugging, tests, and tasks depend on project configuration and local tools.
- Gyro remains an unsigned public Alpha. Managed Macs may prohibit Open
Anyway, and Gyro does not bypass device policy. - Apple Silicon and Intel remain separate downloads; there is no universal DMG.
- Homebrew installs the
gyroCLI only. Gyro.app remains a direct DMG install. - Existing Alpha 28 sessions, projects, settings, and editor state remain
compatible; no destructive data migration is required.
Upgrade and rollback
Alpha 28 data remains compatible with Alpha 28.4. Update from Gyro or replace
the existing application with the matching Alpha 28.4 DMG.
Before changing versions, quit Gyro and back up
~/Library/Application Support/Gyro/. To roll back, reinstall
v0.1.0-alpha.28.3.
CLI
This release does not change CLI command behavior. After the release Formula
reaches the tap:
brew tap wytzeh197/tap
brew trust --formula wytzeh197/tap/gyro
brew install gyroDirect archives are available for
Apple Silicon
and
Intel.
Alpha notice
This is a GitHub-built public macOS Alpha for Apple Silicon and Intel. Updater
archives are signed with Gyro's updater key, while application bundles use
ad-hoc code signing and DMGs are not Apple-signed or notarized.
