Release notes for 1.0.0-beta.1 · All releases

Getting started

On first launch the app asks which language you read in and offers matching study content. Translations, commentaries, and other modules are downloaded only when you ask for them, which requires turning on Privacy → Allow Web Requests. The app prompts you for it. See Installation and Quick Start.

Verifying your download

Each installer has a Sigstore build-provenance attestation that ties it to the public commit it was built from. Neither check below depends on trusting this website.
