What ships

  • NuGet packages continue to publish through the shared Novolis release pipeline.
  • The Windows live studio ships as an Inno Setup installer attached to the GitHub Release.
  • The installer is per-user and installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Novolis\Novolis Audio Live.

Release flow

  1. The release tag is validated against build/version.json.
  2. The Avalonia studio and the headless live host are published as win-x64 payloads.
  3. The installer script is generated from the published app payload.
  4. Inno Setup compiles the installer.
  5. The resulting .exe is uploaded to the same GitHub Release as the NuGet packages.

User guidance

  • Download the installer from the release assets page.
  • Run it without administrator privileges.
  • Update by installing a newer release over the existing user-space install.
