v1.0.0 (RC 2)

Summary

This is the second Release Candidate for the stable v1.0.0 release of the Buildless CLI, Buildless Agent, and related local tools. Version 1 will obviously be a major release, and so this RC prepares the CLI, Agent, and release pipeline for stable maturity. The code is settling rather than growing, and we're focused on fixing bugs and enhancing packaging/install options.

Version 1 will be the first release of local tooling which includes support for different locales; the command line has been mostly translated into Spanish as an initial second supported locale. Spanish locale features will activate automatically based on Java's own heuristics (reading settings on your machine), or it can be activated via the new global --locale=sp flag.

(These release notes will continue to evolve and be repeated with each RC until the v1 release).

Installation

One-liner (install and verify):

• macOS:

echo "Installing Buildless..." \
  && wget -q https://github.com/buildless/cli/releases/download/1.0.0-rc2/buildless.darwin-arm64.tgz \
  && wget -q https://github.com/buildless/cli/releases/download/1.0.0-rc2/buildless.darwin-arm64.tgz.sha256 \
  && tar -xzf buildless.darwin-arm64.tgz \
  && cat buildless.darwin-arm64.tgz.sha256 | gsha256sum --check --status \
  && mkdir -p ~/bin \
  && cp -fv buildless ~/bin \
  && chmod +x ~/bin/buildless \
  && export PATH="$PATH:~/bin" \
  && rm -f buildless "buildless.darwin-arm64.*" \
  && buildless --help

# `buildless` binary extracted and installed to `~/bin`

• Linux:

echo "Installing Buildless..." \
  && wget -q https://github.com/buildless/cli/releases/download/1.0.0-rc2/buildless.linux-amd64.tgz \
  && wget -q https://github.com/buildless/cli/releases/download/1.0.0-rc2/buildless.linux-amd64.tgz.sha256 \
  && tar -xzf buildless.linux-amd64.tgz \
  && cat buildless.linux-amd64.tgz.sha256 | sha256sum --check --status \
  && mkdir -p ~/bin \
  && cp -fv buildless ~/bin \
  && chmod +x ~/bin/buildless \
  && export PATH="$PATH:~/bin" \
  && rm -f buildless "buildless.linux-amd64.*" \
  && buildless --help

# `buildless` binary extracted and installed to `~/bin`

• Windows:
  Please use one of the MSI or exe-based installers.

Verifying a release

To verify this release, download the binary for your platform and architecture, and the accompanying sha256 and sigstore.json files. For example, on macOS ARM64 (M1-M3), you would download all of:

• buildless.darwin-arm64.tgz
• buildless.darwin-arm64.tgz.sha256
• buildless.darwin-arm64.sigstore.json

Extract the binary:

tar -xzvf buildless.darwin-arm64.tgz

To verify the SHA256 hash:

cat buildless.darwin-arm64.tgz.sha256 | gsha256sum --check --status

This command returns 0 (success) if the checksum matches.

To verify the Sigstore signature:

cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://accounts.google.com \
  --certificate-identity sam@elide.ventures \
  --bundle ./buildless.darwin-arm64.sigstore.json \
  buildless

# Prints: "Verified OK"

See the table at the top of this release for explanations of each parameter.

All verification steps:

tar -xzvf buildless.darwin-arm64.tgz \
  && cat buildless.darwin-arm64.tgz.sha256 | gsha256sum --check --status \
  &&  cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://accounts.google.com \
  --certificate-identity sam@elide.ventures \
  --bundle ./buildless.darwin-arm64.sigstore.json \
  buildless || $(echo "Failed to verify Buildless binary; deleting." && rm -fv buildless)

# Prints: "Verified OK", with `buildless` binary extracted

Platform support

Currently available for:

• macOS arm64 / amd64 (darwin-arm64 or darwin-amd64)
