FaceLink 0.3.9 Alpha

FaceLink 0.3.9 is a privacy-hardening maintenance release for the v0.3.8 product-onboarding
work. It removes development-machine paths from public assets and scripts without rewriting
the already published Git history.

Highlights

  • Sanitized the graphical-installer screenshot and editable .blend demo source.
  • Replaced hard-coded development Blender/FFmpeg paths with explicit parameters, environment
    variables, PATH lookup and conventional Blender discovery.
  • Converted README setup examples to portable repository-relative paths.
  • Added a regression test that scans tracked public files for high-risk credential signatures,
    the former author email and known development-machine path fragments.
  • Configured this repository's future commits to use the GitHub noreply identity.

Install

  1. Install official Blender 4.2 or newer and Python 3.11 or newer.
  2. Download FaceLink-Setup-0.3.9.exe and SHA256SUMS.txt from this release.
  3. Verify the EXE hash, open it, select Check setup, then Install FaceLink.
  4. Restart Blender and ChatGPT Desktop/Codex, then start the FaceLink bridge in Blender.

Blender and Python remain external prerequisites. The alpha EXE is not yet code-signed, so
Windows SmartScreen may report an unknown publisher.

Privacy boundary

This release removes personal paths from the current tree and downloadable assets. It does not
rewrite older public commits or tags; the earlier commit-author email therefore remains in Git
history. A complete removal would require a disruptive force-push and release/tag rebuild.

Verified

  • Repository privacy scan over tracked text and binary assets.
  • 110/110 Python unit, CLI, MCP, configuration, diagnostics and repository-privacy tests
    passed, with 93.65% line coverage and 86.48% branch coverage.
  • Blender 4.2.23 LTS, 4.5.12 LTS and 5.2.0 LTS on Windows x64.
  • Graphical installer build, embedded checksum validation and no-write self-test.
  • Editable demo asset timeline, FCurves and keyframes loaded through Blender 4.5.12 LTS.
