u64deck v1.8.0 — Public Beta 6

Public Beta 6 completes the Assembly64 workspace improvements introduced in Beta 5.

Assembly64 fixes

  • Added a genuine Mount & Run action for D64, D71, D81 and G64 disk images.
    The image is mounted in drive A using the selected safety mode, the C64 is reset,
    and u64deck enters LOAD"*",8,1 followed by RUN after the configured boot delay.
  • Numeric Assembly64 category identifiers are now displayed using readable labels,
    including Demos instead of 1. A built-in canonical map is used as a fallback
    when the service's preset metadata does not include numeric identifiers.
  • Added the Assembly64 Rating column to search results.
  • Replaced raw microsecond-precision timestamps with concise values such as
    21 Jul 2026, 12:59. The original service value remains available as a tooltip.
  • Retained the full-height responsive two-pane workspace, selected-release state,
    sticky headings, polished empty/error states and safe filename handling from Beta 5.

Documentation

  • Moved the source launch instructions to a prominent Quick start section directly
    after the README introduction, so the normal unzip → start.bat → browser →
    Select Ultimate… path is visible before contributor build and release material.
  • Kept the cross-platform Python launch commands and the persistent config.json
    upgrade note together in Quick start.

Included from earlier public betas

  • Stable SQLite index migration with validation, backup and Windows file-lock handling.
  • Correct Image Parse Details notifications.
  • Release-neutral built-in Help and hardened GitHub Actions packaging workflow.
  • SID metadata indexing, chip/format filters and player favourites.

Validation

  • 95 tests passed.
  • README body text was verified unchanged apart from the renamed and relocated heading.
  • Help-content and README consistency regression tests passed.
  • Python and JavaScript syntax checks passed.
  • GitHub Actions workflow and example configuration parsed successfully.
  • Live source smoke test returned v1.8.0 · Public Beta 6 with build 7420354.
  • Public archive hygiene checks passed; no database, configuration, favourites,
    cache, backup or compiled Python artefacts are included.
