v0.5.5-alpha

To those who are trying Acorn for the first time we suggest reading the guidelines for using Acorn alpha version prior to serious use.

Our latest release v0.5.5-alpha brings Windows support (+ Mac & Linux)! Plus some great new features including "Top Priority".

We've also upgraded this latest release to Holochain v0.0.109 (from v0.0.100). If you've already been using Acorn, you will notice significant performance improvements with this upgrade (like faster project syncing).

If you’d like to use this new release and keep your data from the previous version, please make sure to export each of your projects you want to keep in JSON format and import them after you download the new version of the app. Again, you will have to recreate your user profile, which is unavoidable at this time. A simplified version upgrade experience will come at a later time.

Installation Instructions

Scroll down and find the attached application file that is for your operating system. Download it, launch it, and follow any instructions it provides at launch (making note of platform specific instructions below that you will need to launch it).

Linux = Acorn-0.5.5-alpha.AppImage
MacOS (v10.14 and up) = Acorn-0.5.5-alpha.dmg
Windows = Acorn.Setup.0.5.5-alpha.exe

Note, Installing on MacOS v10.13 has a known issue, and will not launch properly

NOTE: MacOS users (unlike in the past) will have to bypass the security precautions MacOS employs while opening the application, due to issues with our build system, which will be resolved soon. To open Acorn, right-click on the application file, and click 'Open'. If you do not do this you will get an 'Unverified Developer' warning that you can't bypass.

NOTE: Windows users, there is NO need for WSL2 (linux subsystem) as previously stated that there might be.
