Chocolatey packaging has resumed!

Earlier, we’ve showcased a new installation script for Chocolatey that utilizes the WiX installer’s quiet mode instead of the ZIP extraction method. However, our deployment of this new installation script didn’t go smoothly, causing new versions of our packages to fail to meet the validation checks.

To recap, we’ve always provided Chocolatey packages to make installation of our programs easier and frictionless. This makes sure that we always provide an easy way for our users to install Nitrocid and BassBoom, alongside our future programs that will come soon in the coming months.

We wanted to make the experience consistent with WinGet, so we’ve decided to make appropriate changes to the Chocolatey packages to make sure that both Chocolatey and WinGet packages provide the exact same experience. We ran into problems pushing those packages, though.

We are now very excited to announce that the distribution of Chocolatey packages for our projects has resumed! The new packages will be available for download in the next few hours.

Special thanks to the Chocolatey Team for assisting us with this issue!

Temporary pause applied to Chocolatey package updates

Since several years ago, we have been providing Chocolatey packages for each new version of our applications, such as Nitrocid and BassBoom. Both of these applications used manual extraction as the method, and our Chocolatey packages tried to make it easier for users to install them. Since then, we’ve implemented the WiX installer method so that Windows users can install our applications seamlessly.

However, we are currently running into problems with pushing new Chocolatey packaging for each new version of our projects, due to the changes and the adjustments that we’ve made so that our packages use the WiX installation method for more consistency with the rest of the install methods.

As those technical problems are serious and need a bit of time to analyze and to solve, we’ve decided to temporarily halt the distribution of all further Chocolatey packages for new versions of our projects, including Nitrocid (0.2.1 TP, 0.2.0.x, and 0.1.0.x) and BassBoom (1.0.x).

This temporary halt will give us time to find the root cause and to attempt to provide a permanent fix.

Nitrocid 0.2.0 SP1 and 0.1.0 SP7 are now available with FreeBSD support!

Since the release of Nitrocid 0.2.0 on February 2026, we have made several improvements across several versions that improve your experience in different ways, including security updates that were released for different sets of libraries, and the utilization of Terminaux that now uses Colorimetry.

As part of the availability of our projects to FreeBSD systems, we’ve released several new versions of libraries in the span of a month, and we were working hard for it to ensure that our libraries and applications are usable on FreeBSD systems. SpecProbe, Magico, BassBoom, and Terminaux have been updated to support FreeBSD.

Now, we are very excited to announce that the first service pack of Nitrocid v0.2.0 and the seventh service pack for Nitrocid v0.1.0 versions are now available for download! This service pack is a rather small service pack but sets a significant milestone for those who are using FreeBSD. Those service packs were results of our earlier work regarding FreeBSD.

For more information about the two releases, as well as the installation instructions, please consult the below Aptivi Newsroom article.

Nitrocid 0.1.0.x and 0.2.0.x for ARM64 is now available on WinGet!

Last month, we have announced the availability of Nitrocid 0.1.0.x and 0.2.0.x for the traditional AMD64 Windows systems with WinGet as the installation method. This made the installation of Nitrocid easier and smoother without having to install a separate package manager or to manually go to our GitHub.

Now, we are very excited to announce that we have made a significant progress regarding the packaging of Nitrocid 0.1.0.x and 0.2.0.x for ARM64 systems. Starting from today, you can now install Nitrocid 0.1.0.x and 0.2.0.x on ARM64 systems with WinGet!

Snapdragon X and other Windows systems that use ARM64 as the processor architecture can now experience the same smooth installation flow, which simplifies the installation experience, given that we understand that WinGet is shipped with Windows 11 these days.

You can install Nitrocid 0.2.0.x and 0.1.0.x using WinGet on ARM64 systems using the following commands:

• Nitrocid 0.2.0.x: winget install Aptivi.Nitrocid.0.2.0.x
• Nitrocid 0.1.0.x: winget install Aptivi.Nitrocid.0.1.0.x

The documentation will be updated shortly to reflect the status of Nitrocid’s WinGet packages as a new installation method.

Please note that the updated packages may not be always available, and updates can take from a minimum of few hours to a maximum of few days to propagate, depending on the version being distributed.

Nitrocid 0.2.0 has entered the final touches stage!

Nitrocid 0.2.0, which is an anticipated release of the next major version of Nitrocid after v0.1.0 version series that provides a plethora of improvements and new features, has finally entered the “Final Touches” stage! We are very close to the final release of Nitrocid 0.2.0 and Terminaux 8.1, while the latter comes after to tomorrow! We are very excited to have moved forward to this level, because without Terminaux, none of this would have been possible.

Nitrocid 0.2.0 has one goal: to make the user interface more useful and more modern with the help of the new features that Terminaux 7.0, 8.0, and 8.1 provided. The development of 0.1.3 had introduced a shift that led to the release of the technical preview of 0.2.0, which provided the “core” of the release. Since then, the release candidate focused on adding new features while providing existing improvements, and the final release finishes the mission of being feature-complete. The release candidate now looks like this:

We believe in transparency, so we’ve provided the live release plan project that is available on GitHub as per this link.

The final touches stage starts today, and we’re working on fixing as many bugs as possible to ensure that we release 0.2.0 in the cleanest way possible!

We are still firm on the release date, and it’s February 12th, assuming that things go smoothly when the final updates and bug fixes are done to the final release. In the past announcements of Nitrocid 0.2.0, we announced the date several times, and it felt far. Now, it’s getting closer and closer as we’re maintaining the final touches to Nitrocid 0.2.0 and finalizing its changelogs, which is expected to be done by the end of January.

We will not move the date forward to ensure that many last-minute bugs are fixed, especially due to the breaking nature that Terminaux 8.1 provides over Terminaux 8.0.

Get Ready for Nitrocid 0.2.0!

We have been working on Nitrocid 0.2.0 since early February of the last year, when we were planning to release it as 0.1.3, which was another patch release on top of the 0.1.0 series. Changes made to the kernel and to the build system led to changing the plan for the release to 0.2.0, which will be released on February 12th.

Right now, we are at the last few stages for this version of Nitrocid, which means that we are now preparing for the final release to make sure that any last-minute bug are caught. This has now become a priority to make a gateway towards the stable final release, which will be worked on.

Here are some of the features that will make it to the final release of Nitrocid 0.2.0:

Terminaux 8.1

In the tech preview release of Nitrocid 0.2.0, we were fixated on making sure that the latest version of Terminaux was used. Our plan went fine, so we went ahead to create Terminaux 8.0 for the release candidate and Terminaux 8.1 for the final release. While Terminaux 8.1 still didn’t get released, we are just a few days away from releasing it, making sure that Nitrocid 0.2.0 gets released with this version of Terminaux.

This incorporates major improvements that happened between Terminaux 6.1 and 8.1, from performance enhancements and rendering improvements to API cleanups and input system refinements. All of this were important for Nitrocid 0.2.0, and this version wouldn’t have happened without Terminaux 7.0, 8.0, and 8.1.

Widget Canvas

Widget canvas is now available in both your login screen and your home screen, which lets you make infinite number of pages of widgets to get more information effortlessly. Signing in to your Nitrocid account is not required to obtain this amount of information, so you can take a look at more than just date and time.

Widgets have also been improved with support for a variety of widgets, including RSS feeds, date, time, decorative widgets like text, and custom widgets that your mods use. This takes customization, along with a redesigned The Nitrocid Homepage, to a whole new level.

Two-factor authentication

Additionally, Nitrocid 0.2.0 now lets users set up two-factor authentication to install an extra layer of security to the user. This allows users to set up a second login factor so that they get prompted for the six-digit PIN each time they sign in to their user account, provided that they’ve logged in with the correct password.

The implementation of the two-factor authentication feature supports major authentication apps, such as Google Authenticator and Authy, and you can easily generate QR code for you to be able to set it up right from your phone, whether it’s running Android or iOS.

Many more

There are many more features that were added to Nitrocid 0.2.0, and we are awaiting the day of the release to excite you with the huge milestone that’s going to define the history of Nitrocid!

If you’ve upgraded to Nitrocid 0.2.0 on release day, execute savescreen hacking; there’s a surprise screensaver awaiting you!

Nitrocid 0.2.0 will let you add and edit contacts!

We are currently working on the next generation version of Nitrocid KS, and introducing features to this version of Nitrocid is something that we’re working on in preparation for the release candidate, which is expected to come as early as December 25th, 2025 and as late as the last week of January 2026. We are fully confident that the release candidate will excite you by introducing a whole new set of features that will truly make Nitrocid KS in your style.

One of those features that we’re working on is the ability to add and edit the contacts. The contacts manager TUI has earned a new feature that supports adding and editing the contacts, and it makes your job easier than never before. Before, it was a read-write yellow pages for your contact numbers, just like shown below:

In the 0.1.0 version of Nitrocid, there was a way to import contacts, but there was no way to directly add new contacts and edit existing contacts within this TUI. VisualCard, back then, didn’t support adding and editing card items. Now, we’ll utilize all the VisualCard features to support this feature, just like your regular contacts app on your phone.

Starting from 0.2.0, you can add a new contact by pressing A in the main screen of the contacts TUI. From there, a new contact will be made and an infobox will open, allowing you to perform edits on the brand new contact. You can add new information, edit them, and delete them. You can also edit existing contacts by pressing F11 on a contact you wish to edit, as well as F12 to save the contacts list.

For convenience, we’ve added automatic saving for your contacts when confirming the edits on any of the contacts, including addition, editing, and removal. This makes sure that you don’t hesitate to exit the contacts manager immediately after you edit one of the contacts.

In addition, VisualCard 4.1.2.1 is now live to fix a months-old bug affecting the agent item comparison for two vCards.

The release candidate of Nitrocid 0.2.0 will be released in the abovementioned date range.
