Changelog

Every release of the Carbon CLI, desktop app, and clients — straight from the GitHub releases feed.

  1. Carbon v0.3.0 — self-contained desktop appv0.3.0

    August 16, 2026

    Desktop app 0.2.0 — now self-contained

    The Tauri desktop app now bundles the `carbon` CLI as a sidecar, so end users

    no longer need Node, npm, or a separate CLI install. Point the app at a spec and

    it boots the stateful runtime entirely from inside the .app.

    • Carbon-Desktop-0.2.0-macos-arm64.zip — macOS (Apple silicon) .app, unsigned beta
    • The sidecar is resolved next to the executable and falls back to carbon on PATH in dev
    • Added a per-OS desktop build matrix to the release workflow (macOS arm64/x64, Linux, Windows)

    CLI

    Standalone carbon binaries unchanged at 0.2.1 (attached for a self-contained release).

    Install via npm i -g carbon-api or brew install carbon-dev/carbon/carbon.

    Verify

    ```bash

    shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt

    ```
