release cadence

[mil-ad]

I know the dev branch is quite active and a lot of work is going into iOS and android versions (presumbaly for a 3.0 release) but it would be great if we could get more regular 2.x.x releases. The last official release is from more than two years ago.

[ahrm]

I have created a preview build of the development branch here: https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek/releases/tag/sioyek3-alpha0 . I have not tested the binaries on macos or windows though, it is quite possible that they don't work.

[mil-ad]

Thanks for this @ahrm.

It seems to work for me on macOS. I'm getting some warnings when starting the app but not sure if they matter or not:

We (realistically you but I'm happy to help if needed) should probably clarify if the macOS build is for x86 or Apple silicon (i.e. ARM64) and release two versions?

[ahrm]

The SQL errors do matter, this preview release is not compatible with the old database. I recommend moving your local.db and shared.db file to another location and see if the errors still appear (I could write a script to migrate the database to the new version if you want).

Isn't this already the case? We have a sioyek-release-mac build which should be x64 and a sioyek-release-mac-arm build which should be arm64.

You're right. I'm blind. Ignore me please

I could write a script to migrate the database to the new version if you want).

That'd probably be useful for a lot of people

[ahrm]

Can you share an example of a file that causes this error?

[RishiVora]

Here are the old and new db files.
sioyek db.zip

lemme know if you need anything else.

[ahrm]

I have updated the code, let me know if it still has issues.

[RishiVora]

works perfectly!

@ahrm it works perfectly on macOS too.

[bragiato]

It seems to work for me on Windows! Thx!

[mil-ad]

on macOS I get the below when I try to run the application:

(I'm on Secoma 14.6 (23G80) / M3 Max)

[ahrm]

I don't have a mac so I can't test it but I assume it might be a permission issue? You might want to go to System Preference > Privacy & Security and click on open anyway after trying to launch sioyek.

[mil-ad]

unfortunately it's not that :(

However, the x86 version does work (on ARM with Rosetta translation) so I think it's something with the arm build specifically

on macOS I get the below when I try to run the application:

(I'm on Secoma 14.6 (23G80) / M3 Max)

@mil-ad This is related to macOS quarantine. You need to run the following command on your terminal:

xattr -c /Applications/sioyek.app

and then it should run properly. As to why this is not a problem for the x86 build, I am not sure but after doing this it worked perfectly for me.

[mil-ad]

that worked. Thanks!

@ahrm Could you pin this discussion? Currently there are many discussions about the same and it is annoying. Maybe pinning it could help.
