Full changelog

What's new

ait now ships through three new channels in addition to pip/npm. Note: v1.6.0 ships via PyPI only. The new binary CI pipeline had a permissions bug on its first run; native binaries will land starting with the next release tag. The code for the new channels is in this release if you want to inspect it.

Install (this release)

pip / pipx (any Python ≥ 3.11):

pip install --upgrade ait-vcs       # or: pipx install ait-vcs

Pin to this tag:

pipx install "git+https://github.com/m24927605/[email protected]"

Binary install paths (will work on the next release)

The next release will produce these:

  • Homebrew tap (macOS): brew tap m24927605/ait && brew install ait
  • curl install script (macOS + Linux): curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/m24927605/ait/main/install.sh | sh
  • Direct download: binaries attached to the release, with ait-vX.Y.Z-checksums.txt for SHA256 verification.

Supported targets: macos-arm64, macos-x86_64, linux-x86_64, linux-arm64.

ait self-update

The standalone binary will have a built-in updater:

ait self-update         # interactive
ait self-update --yes   # no prompt
ait self-update --check # check only

Detects how AIT was installed and dispatches the right upgrade flow:

  • Standalone binary → atomic-replace update with SHA256 verification
  • Homebrew → refuses with "run brew upgrade ait"
  • pip → refuses with "run pip install --upgrade ait-vcs"

See docs/self-update.md.

Build/CI

  • New release-binary.yml workflow: 4-platform PyInstaller build matrix, sha256 aggregation, automatic Homebrew tap formula update on every release tag.
  • Ad-hoc codesign on macOS targets so they run cleanly via Brew.
  • build/build_binary.sh for local reproducible builds.

Notes

  • pip continues to work unchanged.
  • The Homebrew tap is at https://github.com/m24927605/homebrew-ait (one-time maintainer setup; CI auto-updates the formula starting next release).
  • 998 tests passing.

See CHANGELOG.md for the full entry.
