v1.0.1 — Linux ships as one AppImage
A packaging hotfix for v1.0.0. The game, the app and the setup behave as in v1.0.0; only the Linux downloads change.
As always, you need your own supported USA Xbox dump. No game files or game executables are distributed.
Linux and Steam Deck players: update by hand once. The Linux app is now
DefJamRecompiled-1.0.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage. The v1.0.0 AppImage looks for the old file name, and the v0.13.0 Linux setup looks for a setup download that no longer exists, so neither offers this update. Download the AppImage below and open it: it finds your installation and offers to update the game, keeping your saves, settings and mods. From then on it updates itself.
Downloads
- Windows:
DefJamRecompiled-1.0.1-windows-x64.exe. - Linux and Steam Deck:
DefJamRecompiled-1.0.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage. It installs, updates and adds itself to Steam, and builds the game with a toolchain it carries. - macOS (Apple Silicon):
DefJamRecompiled-1.0.1-macos-arm64.zip. - The Windows and macOS setup tools (
DefJamSetup-1.0.1-windows-x64.exe,DefJamSetup-1.0.1-macos-arm64.dmg) are attached as well. Every file has its SHA-256 and provenance.
What changed
- Linux ships only the AppImage (#199). The separate Linux setup download (
DefJamSetup-<version>-linux-x64.tar.gz) is no longer published. The AppImage carries the same setup and does everything it did. - The AppImage names its platform (#199):
DefJamRecompiled-<version>-linux-x86_64.AppImage, like the Windows and macOS files. The app and the website still recognise the old name for v1.0.0.
Moving to 1.0.1
- Windows and macOS, from 1.0.0: the app offers this release as an update. Then it offers Update game, which builds the game again from your dump. Your saves, settings and mods are kept.
- Linux and Steam Deck, from 1.0.0 or v0.13.0: download the AppImage above and open it, as described at the top.
Tested for this release
- Windows 11: unit tests (706 passed; the Linux-only ones are skipped on Windows) and the source policy check.
- CI: the Windows, macOS and Linux app and setup builds, the Linux setup's wizard smoke test and the release asset checks.
- The game itself is unchanged from v1.0.0, so the full regression was not rerun. See the v1.0.0 notes for its test results and known issues.
