  7. Nitrocid’s Windows installer becomes more modular with optional addons installation

    We have released v0.2.0.10 and v0.1.0.77 with the improved Windows installer! You can now try it out by downloading the installer file in the Releases page here. Learn more about it here.

    Last year, we have introduced a brand new way to install Nitrocid to your Windows system using the WiX installer. This method provides you an easy way to install Nitrocid, and we have already integrated it with our WinGet packages for Nitrocid to make it easier for those who prefer WinGet over Chocolatey, as we know that WinGet is bundled with Windows 11 and modern Windows 10 versions by default.

    However, the Windows installer didn’t allow you to exclude the Nitrocid addons, which meant that the minimal installation, which Nitrocid already supports, isn’t possible with this installer method. We needed to rectify this problem, and we took it into consideration during the rather quiet development of an upcoming version of Nitrocid, which is v0.2.1.

    Now, we are very thrilled to introduce you to an enhanced Windows installer! It finally allows you to choose whether or not to exclude Nitrocid addons during the installation, and this is one of the most noticeable changes that will be introduced to Nitrocid v0.2.1!

    Not only will this enhanced installer land to v0.2.1, but it will also land to v0.2.0 and v0.1.0 in a future upgrade expected to release later this week. This is part of our broader plan to support Nitrocid v0.1.0 and v0.2.0 for a long term while providing improvements to our projects.

  9. Nitrocid KS 0.1.2.x EOL reminder

    Seven months ago, Nitrocid KS 0.1.2 was released on February 27th to introduce you to brand new and hot features that made it exciting to use, such as the audio cues, the customizable widget in The Nitrocid Homepage, and various new screensavers and commands. Since then, several patches have been released, including the first and the second service packs.

    We have debuted this version of Nitrocid KS after three months of development, and we were successful in backporting some of the features that originally appeared there to the supported series, such as the Arch Linux and the Windows Installer packaging.

    Yesterday, we have released the last patch version of the 0.1.2.x series under the v0.1.2.26 version as a response to our migration of the project operations back to GitHub. This was essential as we also had to do the same thing to Terminaux under all supported series.

    We are announcing that all official support will stop on November 27th, 2025. However, there are no newer version series other than the next-generation one, which is still in development. This means that you can revert back to v0.1.0 series once we port all its features from the v0.1.2 series by the EOL date with a service pack release expected in two months.

    When v0.1.2 is EOL, you have two options:

    • Revert back to v0.1.0 version series, but after we release the sixth service pack.
    • Try out the tech preview of v0.2.0 until the final release expected February 2026.

    Meanwhile, all development on both v0.1.2 and v0.1.0 will stop as we shift our focus to v0.2.0 to minimize friction, delays, and conflicts. This freeze will take place until November 27th, where all maintenance releases will continue in a slower pace than usual. Security updates are an exception, though, because we have security as the first priority.

  10. Nitrocid 0.1.0 Service Pack 5 and 0.1.2 Service Pack 2 released!

    We are finally excited to announce two service pack versions of Nitrocid KS after a long time, and those versions upgrade 0.1.0.x to the fifth service pack with some improvements regarding the splash, while also upgrading the 0.1.2.x series to the second (and the last) service pack that brings in quality of life improvements.

    Today, we are excited to announce their availability under the 0.1.0.59 and the 0.1.2.25 versions, which can be downloaded in their own section here. The development of 0.2.0 didn’t start yet, but we are in the process of starting it up as we shift our plans to the next-gen version, with no specific ETA for the development start. However, we promise that 0.2.0 will be the biggest release series after the 0.1.0.x series that started in March 2024.

    Nitrocid 0.1.0 Service Pack 5

    The fifth service pack of 0.1.0 is under the 0.1.0.59 version, further enhanced by the 0.1.0.60 version we’ve released yesterday to update the OpenMoji emoticons from version 15.0 to 16.0 as you can see here. It brings in updated emoji icons, alongside newly added icons.

    The fifth service pack contains the following changes:

    • Made SetCursor*() functions modifiable
    • Fixed splash closing
    • Backported improvements from 0.1.2 for games
    • Help shows usages in command list

    This makes your user experience more natural and intuitive than before, but, in the next service pack, it’s going to be quite huge in regards to changes, and the reasons are explained in the second service pack of 0.1.2.x.

    You can download Nitrocid 0.1.0.60 here.

    Nitrocid 0.1.2 Service Pack 2

    As you can see, the Nitrocid 0.1.2.x version series has a new addition today, and that resembles the second service pack of this series, with 0.1.2.25 as the version. This version of Nitrocid brings the most important change, and we’ll explain it briefly below.

    Terminaux 7.0 was released this August to bring many improvements in different areas of the library, including rendering images that became faster, making infoboxes that became more flexible, and managing shells that became more powerful than ever. Nitrocid 0.2.0 Tech Preview used Terminaux 7.0 to demonstrate those improvements with the necessary code refactors needed to align with the requirements.

    We are excited to announce that Nitrocid 0.1.2 now uses Terminaux 7.0, and this dependency will be moved over to 0.1.0 as Nitrocid 0.1.2 becomes EOL in the middle of November. As a separate note, Terminaux 5.4.x will become EOL this September.

    You can download Nitrocid 0.1.2.25 here.

  11. Nitrocid 0.1.1 is no longer supported

    We are announcing that the end of support for the first minor release after the 0.1.0 version, the 0.1.1 version that was released on July 23rd, 2024, has officially commenced as of today. It added new features, such as The Nitrocid Homepage, while improving existing features to make them more reliable.

    The final mod API version for this version series was v3.0.26.60, and the final version of this release series was v0.1.1.36. Starting from today, we will no longer:

    • provide further new versions under that version series
    • provide support for users that continue to use this version series
    • provide any security and features improvements across different components

    In addition to that, the warning message will be displayed upon trying to start this version series up, reminding you of this series’ support. In Debian builds, you’ll be notified in the command line that you’re installing the version series that is no longer supported.

    In order to continue getting new features and security updates, and to continue receiving support from us, please either use the latest LTS version, which is v0.1.0.x, or use the latest short-term supported version, such as v0.1.2.x.

  15. Old Nitrocid PPA EOL Reminder

    The old Nitrocid PPA (kernel-sim) has been officially marked as deprecated as of the 0.1.2.0 release on February 27th, 2025. The reason was that because we wanted to get rid of a PPA that hosted very old versions of Nitrocid KS, such as 0.0.15.8 for Groovy Gorilla uploaded on April 14th, 2021, and because the most recent versions that were released had libc6 issues on Jammy Jellyfish and older.

    We have only added the deprecation notice to the old PPA mentioned above, but we’ve recently updated the notice. We will permanently disable the kernel-sim PPA starting July 1st, 2025, as we get closer to the second half of the year.

    To disable the kernel-sim PPA and to enable the newer Nitrocid PPA, nitrocid, follow these steps:

    1. Uninstalling all Nitrocid-related packages from the old PPA
      1. Open the terminal emulator
      2. Run sudo apt purge kernel-simulator
    2. Replacing the kernel-sim PPA with the nitrocid PPA
      1. Run sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:eofla/kernel-sim
      2. Run sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eofla/nitrocid
    3. Installing the newer Nitrocid packages
      1. Execute sudo apt update
      2. Follow the instructions by running sudo apt install nitrocid

    Once you follow the above steps, you’re now using the new nitrocid PPA instead of the older one. If you failed to remove the kernel-sim PPA from your system before the abovementioned deadline, the apt update command will fail with error messages about said PPA.
