The app id moves from ai.storyteller.solidcraft to io.tangencylabs.solidcraft: macOS bundle id (the CLI signs as io.tangencylabs.solidcraft.cli), Linux desktop/metainfo/MIME file names, icon name, Wayland app_id / X11 class, Flatpak, Snap common-id, nfpm/FreeBSD/Nix/AppImage staging, the web app's icon paths and the docs. Existing installs keep working: the Flatpak repository marks both old ids (ai.storyteller.solidcraft and ai.storyteller.solvecraft) end-of-life with a rebase straight to the new id, re-marking the solvecraft ref that pointed at the 0.8 id; the manifest grants read-only access to both old ~/.var/app folders and the first launch copies settings and autosaves from the newest one; AppStream <replaces>/<provides> and X-Flatpak-RenamedFrom list both; the AppImage removes menu entries it wrote under either old id. The data and settings folders (solidcraft / SolidCraft) are unchanged. The MSI UpgradeCode and ProgIDs are unchanged. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

SolidCraft is open-source parametric 3D CAD in Rust: sketch, constrain, extrude, and change a
|
|
parameter to watch the timeline rebuild. [Documentation](https://docs.solidcraft.io/)

[issues](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues). AI agents can model with it over MCP:
|
|
`solidcraft-cli mcp` ([how](https://docs.solidcraft.io/guide/mcp.html)).
|
|
|
|
**What's new** in SolidCraft {version} is listed below, and the
|
|
[ROADMAP](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/blob/main/ROADMAP.md#known-limitations) lists
|
|
the known limitations. Designs from every earlier version open in this one.
|
|
|
|
**New app ID.** The app ID is now `io.tangencylabs.solidcraft` (it was `ai.storyteller.solidcraft`,
|
|
and `ai.storyteller.solvecraft` up to 0.7): `flatpak update` offers to replace the old app, the
|
|
`.deb`, `.rpm` and AppImage remove the old menu entry, and settings stay. On macOS the bundle ID
|
|
changed too, so macOS asks once more for the permissions it had granted.
|
|
|
|
**Upgrading from 0.5 or earlier.** 0.6 renamed SolveCraft to SolidCraft and made the zip
|
|
container the default save format. `.solvecraft` designs, old settings folders and
|
|
`SOLVECRAFT_*` variables are still picked up, and `solvecraft-cli` still forwards to
|
|
`solidcraft-cli`. Want plain JSON? Use **File ▸ Save As JSON…** or `--save design.json`. On
|
|
macOS, replace `SolveCraft.app` with `SolidCraft.app`. Details:
|
|
[compatibility notes](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/blob/main/docs/compatibility.md).
|
|
|
|
Documentation, the browser app and the Flatpak feed use the SolidCraft project Pages URLs.
|
|
|
|
**Which file?**
|
|
- **Windows:** `SolidCraft-{version}-windows-x64.exe` runs as is. Or install the `.msi`, or unzip the
|
|
`-portable.zip` (x64, x86 and arm64).
|
|
- **macOS 11+** (Apple silicon and Intel): open the `.dmg` and drag `SolidCraft.app` onto Applications.
|
|
The CLI is in `solidcraft-cli-{version}-macos-universal.zip`.
|
|
- **Linux** (x86_64 and aarch64, glibc 2.35+): the `.AppImage` (`chmod +x`, then run it), the
|
|
`.deb` or `.rpm`, the `.flatpak` (`flatpak install --user <file>`), the `.snap`
|
|
(`sudo snap install --dangerous <file>`, or `sudo snap install solidcraft` from the Snap Store), or the `.tar.gz`.
|
|
- **FreeBSD:** `tar -xzf solidcraft-{version}-freebsd-x86_64.tar.gz --strip-components 1 -C /usr/local`.
|
|
- **Web:** `solidcraft-web-{version}.zip` is a static site to host yourself.
|
|
- `SHA256SUMS.txt`: `sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt --ignore-missing`.
|
|
- Files without a version in the name (`solidcraft-windows-x64.msi`, `solidcraft-linux-x86_64.AppImage`, …)
|
|
are the same packages under fixed names, for download links that always fetch the latest release.
|
|
|
|
For Flatpak feed installation and updates, add Flathub for the required runtime before
|
|
installing SolidCraft; keep both remotes in the same user installation:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
|
|
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists solidcraft https://docs.solidcraft.io/flatpak/solidcraft.flatpakrepo
|
|
flatpak install --user solidcraft io.tangencylabs.solidcraft
|
|
flatpak run io.tangencylabs.solidcraft
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A remote added from the old `bherbruck.github.io` address no longer finds updates: run
|
|
`flatpak remote-modify --user --url=https://docs.solidcraft.io/flatpak/repo/ solidcraft`, then
|
|
`flatpak update --user`.
|
|
|
|
Flatpak installs under an old ID (`ai.storyteller.solidcraft`, or `ai.storyteller.solvecraft` from 0.7 or
|
|
earlier): `flatpak update --user` offers to replace it with `io.tangencylabs.solidcraft`, and settings move along.
|
|
|
|
Single-file `.flatpak` bundles include the runtime repository address; missing runtimes
|
|
still need an internet connection. [Linux installation details](https://docs.solidcraft.io/guide/getting-started.html#linux-flatpak).
|
|
|
|
The builds aren't signed yet. On macOS, right-click `SolidCraft.app` in Applications and choose
|
|
**Open** the first time (or run `xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/SolidCraft.app`).
|
|
On Windows, SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC": **More info**, then **Run anyway**.
|
|
Licences are built in (Help ▸ About ▸ Licences, `solidcraft-cli licences`); the packages also
|
|
install `THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt`.
