  1. 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!

  7. Nitrocid 0.2.1 Tech Preview is available

    This year, we’ve released a new major version of Nitrocid that brought lots of amazing new features that we were working on since last year. It brought attractive new look and general improvements to the whole kernel, while introducing new features that improve your user experience, including:

    • Chatbot AI
    • Widget Canvas API
    • Configurable modern logon screen and homepage
    • …and so on.

    As we are less than two years shy of the tenth year anniversary of the first ever version of Nitrocid, which was v0.0.1 released February 22nd, 2018, we are so happy to announce that the new version of Nitrocid is under construction.

    Starting from today, you can now obtain an early taste of how Nitrocid 0.2.1 will evolve. Based on our previous experiences with the previous technical preview of 0.2.0, we’ve finished implementing all the technical side of this version, and real development will start early next month.

    To learn more about this version of Nitrocid, visit this link.

  9. 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.

    For more information about this decision, see the Aptivi Newsroom article below.

  13. 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.

  15. 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.

  17. 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.xwinget install Aptivi.Nitrocid.0.2.0.x
    • Nitrocid 0.1.0.xwinget 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.
