v1.31.9 — in-app update bug fix
WHAT HAPPENED
If you tried to update from 1.31.7 or 1.31.8 inside the app and saw 'Cannot find package tar', this release fixes it. The update endpoint needed the tar package to unpack the downloaded tarball, but tar was only a transitive dev dependency and never made it into the installer.
WHAT TO DO
1.31.7 / 1.31.8 users — download the 1.31.9 installer for your OS once (see Assets below). After that, every future Pixcode product update will arrive automatically via the in-app Update button, no further installer downloads required.
Windows — Pixcode-Setup-1.31.9.exe macOS (Apple Silicon) — Pixcode-1.31.9-arm64.dmg macOS (Intel) — Pixcode-1.31.9-x64.dmg Linux AppImage — Pixcode-1.31.9-x86_64.AppImage Linux Debian/Ubuntu — Pixcode-1.31.9-amd64.deb
Or via npm: npm install -g @pixelbyte-software/pixcode@1.31.9 pixcode
MACOS FIRST-LAUNCH WORKAROUND
If macOS shows 'Pixcode is damaged and can't be opened', that's Gatekeeper refusing to launch an unsigned app — NOT actual corruption. Run this in Terminal once, then reopen Pixcode from Launchpad:
xattr -cr /Applications/Pixcode.app
Or equivalently:
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Pixcode.app
Proper fix is code-signing with an Apple Developer ID ($99/year) — on the roadmap. One-time xattr command works indefinitely until then.
WINDOWS FIRST-LAUNCH WORKAROUND
SmartScreen may warn 'Unknown publisher'. Click More info → Run anyway. Code signing (Authenticode cert) is on the same roadmap item as the macOS signing.
NEW IN THIS RELEASE
• tar now ships as a production dependency so the in-app /api/system/update endpoint can actually extract new versions. • In-app update UX polish from 1.31.8 (selfRestarting flag, auto page reload, alreadyLatest short-circuit) is preserved. • Sidebar Recent / By project toggle stays visible in Conversations tab — previously hidden, now consistent. • CI workflow: builder-debug.yml is no longer uploaded as a release asset.
ABOUT THE latest.yml / latest-linux.yml FILES
These are electron-updater metadata files — the desktop wrapper reads them to know if a newer installer exists. They're small (<1 KB each) and necessary for the auto-update prompt to work. Safe to ignore on the Downloads list; users shouldn't click them.
