Versions and channels

How to pick the right Strixonomy IDE / Strixonomy engine build. Pin production and CI to a tagged release; do not follow main docs alone.

Source of truth

Source What it means
docs/TAGGED_RELEASE Canonical public install version (today: 0.27.0)
GitHub Releases VSIX, Linux CLI tarball, multi-platform LSP, tutorial zip, checksums
crates.io Published Rust crates and cargo install strixonomy-cli
VS Code Marketplace Extension for VS Code (manual publish; usually matches the tag within hours)
Open VSX Extension for Cursor / Open VSX clients
Read the Docs latest Built from the default branch (main) — may describe work after the last tag

How to check which version you have

Surface How
VS Code / Cursor extension Extensions view → Strixonomy → version under the title (or strixonomy.strixonomy in the extension details)
CLI strixonomy --version (or strixonomy -V)
Language server Output → Strixonomy Language Server often logs the binary path; or run the bundled strixonomy-lsp with --version if you know its path

If Marketplace / Open VSX is behind GitHub, install the release VSIX for the tag you need — see below.

Goal Command / link
VS Code Marketplace or download strixonomy-v0.27.0.vsix from GitHub Releases
Cursor Open VSX or the same VSIX
CLI (pinned) cargo install strixonomy-cli --locked --version 0.27.0
CLI (Linux, no compile) strixonomy-v0.27.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz from GitHub Releases
Tutorial files (offline) strixonomy-tutorial.zip on the same GitHub Release (or curl samples in First success)

Always pin: bare cargo install strixonomy-cli resolves to the latest crates.io version and can jump without your review.

Air-gap artifact manifest

Exact filenames on GitHub Release v0.27.0 (verify with SHA256SUMS on the same release):

Artifact Filename
VS Code / Cursor extension strixonomy-v0.27.0.vsix
CLI (Linux x64 only) strixonomy-v0.27.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz
Checksums SHA256SUMS
Offline tutorial samples strixonomy-tutorial.zip
Prebuilt LSP (platform-specific) strixonomy-lsp-* archives on the same release

There is no Homebrew / winget / Scoop / Docker image for the CLI today — macOS/Windows CI agents use cargo install strixonomy-cli or the IDE-bundled LSP. See Product identity and Install.

When Marketplace lags GitHub

Marketplace publish is always manual after the release workflow finishes. Open VSX publishes automatically when OVSX_PAT is set (see Marketplace publish). Either store can lag the GitHub tag by hours or longer.

Playbook: store version ≠ latest tag

  1. Check the latest GitHub Release tag (example: v0.27.0).
  2. In VS Code / Cursor: Extensions → Strixonomy — note the installed version.
  3. If the store is older than the tag you need:
  4. Download strixonomy-v<version>.vsix from that Release.
  5. Extensions → … → Install from VSIX…
  6. Reload the window.
  7. Confirm the extension version matches the tag under the Extension details.
  8. Keep CI pinned with cargo install strixonomy-cli --locked --version <tag> (or the Linux tarball) — do not wait for Marketplace for automation.

Re-check Marketplace / Open VSX before an org-wide rollout. Capability truth by version: What ships today. Upgrades: Migration guides.

Maintainer notes: Marketplace publish.
