Linwood Butterfly
🎨 Powerful, minimalistic, cross-platform, opensource note-taking app
After a releasing the second beta of Butterfly Black Hairstreak (2.4) last week, the hotfix 2.3.3 for Butterfly is now available.
Highlights:
- 🪟 Publish to Microsoft Store
- 🐧 AppImage builds for ARM
- 🐧 Snap builds
- 🐧 Alternative linux builds
- 🔄 Update Flutter to 3.32
Publish to Microsoft Store
Butterfly is now available in the Microsoft Store. This allows you to install Butterfly on Windows 10 and 11 devices easily and have automatic updates.
Download it now from the Microsoft Store.
This will become the recommended way to install Butterfly on Windows devices in the future.
I’m also working on bringing the nightly builds to the Microsoft Store, so you can help test the latest features and fixes. Stay tuned for that!
AppImage builds for ARM
The AppImage workflow has been rebuild to improve the produced AppImages. In the same time, ARM builds were added to the AppImage builds.
Alternative linux builds
On debian devices, glibc has an older version than the one used to build Butterfly. To support these older glibc versions, Butterfly had an alternative build that used a ubuntu 22.04 base image. Previously only a portable archive was available. For this release, deb, rpm and appimage builds are now available for this alternative build. This allows you to install Butterfly on these devices more easily.
Snap builds
The snap builds have been fixed to work with the latest butterfly release. The snap builds were broken since the second beta of Butterfly 2.2.0. You can now install Butterfly via snap again.
Butterfly now also supports the release channels:
- stable has the latest stable release
- candidate tracks the commits in the main branch (that will become the next stable release)
- beta tracks the latest nightly release
- edge tracks the latest commit in the develop branch (that will become the next nightly release)
The beta track currently currently has the current 2.3.3 release, but will be updated when the next nightly release is available.
Update flutter
The flutter version has been updated to 3.32. This should improve the foundation of Butterfly to support the 2.3 release track a bit longer.
