Release and test status

The current version and its verified test scope.

Current version: 0.1.0-27

Published on 9 November 2026. The download page provides the live ISO and SHA256 checksum. WinDoesNot runs but is still in active development; expect rough edges.

Desktop packages 0.1.0-19

The public signed update channel is available. Existing installations need one-time setup with the verified release key. Desktop packages then arrive through normal full system upgrades.

Checked in UEFI virtual machines

• Live startup, offline installation with GRUB and sign-in to the installed desktop.
• Earlier builds also covered rEFInd and systemd-boot offline, Limine online, and main/LTS kernels. These combinations were not all repeated for this exact ISO.
• Desktop plugins, settings, Store, CPU detection and virtual-machine graphics drivers.
• Signed update 0.1.0-18 → 0.1.0-19: full system upgrade, sign-out/sign-in, native plugins and preservation of private test files checked. Missing/incorrect database signatures and a modified package were rejected.

During the update test, the CachyOS regulatory-domain service reported nl80211 not found in the system without a wireless subsystem. The desktop and plugins worked after signing in again. This system note and the test limitations are documented in the update guide.

Checked for 0.1.0-27: both ISOs match their checksums, and the packages in the image have the version 0.1.0-27. Not checked: booting and installing these ISOs in a VM or on real hardware, the signed update to this version, and the Hyprland version 0.57.2 in the image (pinned is 0.57.1). Known limitations in VMware Workstation and VirtualBox are described in Known limitations.

Still open

• Real hardware: NVIDIA/AMD/Intel graphics, suspend, Bluetooth and multiple monitors.
• BIOS boot, Secure Boot and manual partitioning.
