ReleasePort's take

Light signal

editorial:auto 8h

The v1.7.1 release renames distribution archive filenames for clarity and changes the Windows format to .zip; however, `gdd_update` cannot automatically locate these new files when upgrading from v1.6.0 or earlier.

Why it matters: If you upgrade from v1.6.0 or earlier using `gdd_update`, manual download of renamed archives is required due to the breaking change (severity 70).

Full changelog

What's New in v1.7.1

MCP Auto-Registration (v1.7.0)

GDD now automatically registers itself in ~/.claude/mcp.json and ~/.cursor/mcp.json on first launch. No manual config editing needed — just install and start.

Clearer Archive Names (v1.7.0)

gdd-windows-gui → GDD-Desktop-Windows
gdd-win-x64 → GDD-Server-Windows
gdd-linux-x64 → GDD-Server-Linux
gdd-macos-arm64 → GDD-Server-macOS-ARM
gdd-macos-x64 → GDD-Server-macOS-Intel

Windows .zip Format (v1.7.0)

Windows archives are now .zip instead of .tar.gz.

Bug Fix (v1.7.1)

Fixed hardcoded iPhone 15 Pro device preset in Headless mode — gdd_add_players with desktop or tablet presets now correctly applies viewport, mobile flag, and touch settings on macOS/Linux.

⚠️ Updating from v1.6.0 or earlier: Archive names have changed. The built-in gdd_update tool will not find the new names — download manually for this one-time upgrade.
