Dec 1, 2025

December 2025: anomalyco/opencode delivered a cross‑platform OpenCode desktop foundation, tightened release hygiene, and strengthened CI/build reliability. Key features were implemented for the OpenCode Desktop app with initial launch support and macOS codesigning/notarization, plus multi‑platform readiness through DesktopInterface export and PlatformContext. The updater logic was migrated to JavaScript to reduce maintenance overhead and improve stability. TypeScript build hygiene and artifact handling were improved, and the release pipeline was hardened to publish only after all builds complete. These efforts collectively increase desktop adoption, deliver a smoother user experience, and reduce post‑release risk.
