💥 What's new in 2.0?

We're excited to announce a new major update to Cilicon! Here's a summary of what's new:

• While Cilicon 1.0 relied on a user-defined Login Item script in the VM, its new version now includes an SSH client and directly executes commands on the VM.
• Cilicon has partially adopted the tart image format and can automatically convert 1.0 images to it.
• The integrated OCI client can download pre-built CI images that have been created with/for tart. We recommend the macos-ventura-xcode images.

⚠️ GitLab is temporarily no longer supported. While there is a semi-functional provisioner in the code, we are hoping for an external contributor to make it work correctly. GitLab support added in 2.1.0 🎉

Migrating from 1.0

• The config file schema has changed slightly. In most cases renaming the vmBundlePath property to source should suffice
• When Cilicon detects a 1.0 image it will offer you to automatically convert it to the tart format for you

Cilicon.zip: The main Cilicon app
Cilicon.Installer.zip: Used to generate a VM image and install an IPSW image to it. We recommend using tart instead.
