WHAT CHANGED
October QA highlights.
CORE OS · QA11
Boot, set up, listen
Updated branded installer ISO with BIOS/UEFI boot support. QA11 expects a dedicated 32 GB+ OS disk and one or more separate music disks. A clean install overwrites the OS disk that the user explicitly selects.
OS installation notesMACOS · 0.4.2 (42)
Core on both architectures
One signed universal application for compatible Intel and Apple Silicon hardware. Fixes repeated album/audiobook shelf redraws and restores the correct Core flower.
macOS requirementsWINDOWS · ALPHA
Work in progress
Windows Core stays an experimental, unsigned test build while clean install, reboot recovery and external playback continue validation.
Alpha limitationsFILE CHECKSUMS
Know what you installed.
Compare SHA-256 after downloading; the installer cannot vouch for downloads you haven't verified.
