RedEXCompile 0.3.0 — Crimson Workbench

RedEXCompile 0.3.0 — Crimson Workbench

This release turns the original prototype into an installable cross-platform development workbench and fixes the startup, terminal, packaging, and Copilot-login problems reported against 0.2.0.

Major additions

• Monaco-based VS Code-style editing with polished Crimson Void UI, closable/dirty tabs, multicursor tools, autocomplete controls, diagnostics, red squiggles, line glyphs, and broad syntax modes.
• Persistent multi-tab terminals with profile detection, install/rescan behavior, command history, and usable stdin.
• Toolchain Vault with automatic global runtime discovery, fuzzy manual lookup, per-project links, recommended runtimes, and live ecosystem package search.
• One-click Python .venv creation; RedEXCompile adds it to .gitignore and automatically activates it for new terminals, Run actions, package installs, and Copilot.
• Official GitHub Copilot SDK agent with device login, bundled platform runtime, models, streaming, and explicit permission prompts.
• Help Write using an encrypted bring-your-own key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
• OS-encrypted global/project secrets and optional global secret-name completion.
• Phone editing on the LAN or through an explicitly enabled temporary HTTPS tunnel.
• Live Collaboration with unique temporary usernames, shared edits, QuickChat, and WebRTC voice/video controls.
• GitHub-backed .RedEXP plugin registry, Plugin Store/Installed Plugin views, expanded RedEX language documentation, Terms, and Privacy pages.
• Automatic GitHub Release updates with real 0–100 byte progress, cumulative missed-release notes, and workspace restoration after restart.

Downloads

• Windows Setup: RedEXCompile-Setup-0.3.0-x64.exe — actual assisted NSIS installer with Quick Start/Advanced choice and uninstaller.
• Windows Portable: RedEXCompile-Portable-0.3.0-x64.exe.
• Linux AppImage: RedEXCompile-0.3.0-Linux-x86_64.AppImage.
• Debian/Ubuntu: RedEXCompile-0.3.0-Linux-amd64.deb.

The packages are currently unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may warn. macOS package automation is included in source, but a downloadable macOS build requires a functioning macOS GitHub runner and Apple signing configuration.

Verification

• 21/21 automated unit/integration tests passed.
• Node/Electron syntax and public plugin-registry validation passed.
• Vite production renderer build passed.
• Windows Setup and Portable files were parsed as complete NSIS archives; Setup contains the full embedded app and uninstaller.
• Packaged Linux and Windows app archives contain the correct platform-specific Copilot runtime and the 0.3.0 environment UI/backend.

See the README for platform setup, security boundaries, provider requirements, and current RedEX compiler limitations.

RedEXCompile 0.2.0

First public RedEXCompile release. Includes the tested source and a runnable Windows x64 build. Extract the Windows ZIP and launch win-unpacked/RedEXCompile.exe. The automated Setup EXE workflow is included, but GitHub did not start its Windows runner because the account is currently locked by a billing issue.
