The first Canary Build for the upcoming update is here!
A quick reminder: Canary builds are experimental, unpolished, unstable and have little to no quality control. Expect bugs, unfinished features and unexpected issues. These builds are not recommended for regular users.
Changes
- Linux & macOS support: The initial cross-platform framework is now in place for Linux and macOS, supporting both Apple Silicon (ARM) and Intel (x86). There's still a lot of work ahead, as PiraChest was originally built with Windows in mind.
- TV page fix: Fixed an issue where opening and closing the video player, then minimizing and restoring the app, caused the window to grow taller than intended and overflow.
More to come!
Full Changelog: v1.0.2-stable-Kanye...v1.1.0-canary-1-chads
Windows install: download the MSI and run it. Choose the install location in the setup wizard. It installs for the current user with a Start Menu shortcut, no admin prompt, and no forced file associations.
Windows portable: download the Windows ZIP, extract it, and run PiraChest Canary.exe. The ZIP .sha256 file contains the checksum used by the built-in updater; the MSI .sha256 verifies the installer.
Linux: download the tarball for your CPU (x64 or arm64), extract it, and run PiraChest.
macOS: download the ZIP for your Mac (arm64 for Apple Silicon, x64 for Intel), extract it, and move PiraChest.app to Applications.
Windows requirements: Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit (Intel or AMD x64).
Linux requirements: x64 or arm64 with glibc 2.39 or newer (Ubuntu 24.04+, Debian 13+, Fedora 40+). Needs libegl1, libgl1, libxkbcommon-x11-0, libdbus-1-3 and libxcb-cursor0 installed.
macOS requirements: Apple Silicon (arm64) needs macOS 14.4 or newer; Intel (x64) needs macOS 15 or newer.
