Hmbown/CodeWhale v0.8.43

on GitHub

This release renames the project to CodeWhale. The legacy
deepseek and deepseek-tui binaries continue to ship as
deprecation shims for one release cycle; they print a one-line
warning and forward to codewhale / codewhale-tui. They will
be removed in v0.9.0. See docs/REBRAND.md for the full
migration story.

Install

Recommended — npm (one command, both binaries)

npm install -g codewhale

The wrapper downloads both binaries from this Release and places them in the same directory.

Docker / GHCR

docker run --rm -it \
  -e DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="$DEEPSEEK_API_KEY" \
  -v ~/.deepseek:/home/codewhale/.deepseek \
  ghcr.io/hmbown/codewhale:v0.8.43

The image ships the codewhale dispatcher and codewhale-tui runtime (plus the legacy deepseek / deepseek-tui shims during the transition). The latest tag is also updated on release.

Cargo (Linux / macOS)

cargo install codewhale-cli codewhale-tui --locked

Both crates are required — codewhale-cli produces the codewhale dispatcher and codewhale-tui produces the interactive runtime that the dispatcher delegates to. Installing only one binary will fail at runtime with a MISSING_COMPANION_BINARY error.

Manual download

Both binaries below must be downloaded for your platform and dropped into the same directory (e.g. ~/.local/bin/):

Then chmod +x both (Unix) and run ./codewhale.

Legacy deepseek-* and deepseek-tui-* assets are also attached for one release cycle so that existing deepseek update invocations on v0.8.40 keep working; they install the deprecation shims, which forward to the canonical binaries.

Verify (recommended)

Download codewhale-artifacts-sha256.txt from this Release and verify:

# Linux
sha256sum -c codewhale-artifacts-sha256.txt

# macOS
shasum -a 256 -c codewhale-artifacts-sha256.txt

The legacy deepseek-artifacts-sha256.txt is also attached for backward compatibility and contains the same hashes.
