Wonkey v2026.05

Wonkey 2026-05 release

New Wonkey release with Wake (1.1.1) and Wide (1.0.1), built for Linux (x64), macOS (x64 + arm64) and Windows (mingw + MSVC x64) targets.

⚠️ Important: After installation, we recommend rebuilding all modules. See instructions in README.md.

What’s new

This release focuses on toolchain modernization and a fully automated, reproducible build & publish pipeline via GitHub Actions.

Wake (transpiler)

• Windows: auto-detect the Visual Studio 2022 + Windows Kits 10 toolchain ( aab4cbc , 55147f2 )
• Windows: correctly locate VS2022 from the 32-bit wake.exe through ProgramW6432 — fixes the WOW64 Program Files redirection that made wake fall back to gcc ( 55147f2 )
• Let the real process environment override env_.txt defaults in LoadEnv, so CI can pick the toolchain ( 1096c20 )
• Add the missing include in wxgc_mx.cpp / async.h for stricter MSVC builds ( cbeabc5, aeaeb04 )

Wide (code editor)

• Derive the application title from the WIDE_VERSION constant ( 6076f77 )

Build & CI

• New GitHub Actions release automation: build + publish across every platform from a single workflow ( 63c7746 )
• Dedicated windows-msvc and mingw test workflows with forced toolchain/arch per job ( 63c7746 , 651f1c6 )
• Restored the 2-pass bootstrap in all workflows so native source fixes propagate into the shipped binaries ( 9a8e255 )
• Release assets limited to the platform packages (.tgz / .pkg / .exe), fixing the EMFILE: too many open files failure ( a7d1cd2 )

Versions

• Wonkey 2026.05
• Wake 1.1.1
• Wide 1.0.1

Wonkey v2022.04
