Version 2026.20

Raylux 0.24.8: setup wizard, gateway-only install, licence texts

An installer and licensing release. Nothing in the runtime changed except the Downloads page fix. A gateway is usually a server, and it should not acquire a designer and an HMI runtime nobody asked for. The installer now sets up the gateway and leaves the clients alone.

An installer and licensing release. Nothing in the runtime changed except the Downloads page fix.

Installing the gateway no longer installs Studio and Lens

A gateway is usually a server, and it should not acquire a designer and an HMI runtime nobody asked for. The installer now sets up the gateway and leaves the clients alone.

It still carries them — they are laid down and served from the gateway's own Downloads page, so any machine that wants a designer can have one, from the gateway it is going to connect to.

A setup wizard that looks like the product

One wizard rather than two, in the product's own palette and typography, with a progress page that reports what it is actually doing. That last part matters most: the package is around 770 MB compressed, so unpacking dominates the wait, and the previous wizard attributed none of it. A working install looked hung.

Third-party licence texts now ship

Raylux uses Qt and includes a browser engine, and those licences oblige us to reproduce their notices. The installer previously shipped none, while the licence agreement told customers a licences folder existed. It exists now — 97 files covering every component that actually ships, copied from the artifacts themselves rather than transcribed, with the build failing rather than producing a package with an incomplete set.

Fixed

  • The Downloads page could hand out an old client installer. Upgrades leave previous versions in place, and the gateway served whichever it found first, so the version you downloaded depended on directory ordering.

Known limitations at this release

  • Not verified on a clean machine. Not code-signed. Windows only for Studio and Lens. A pre-release, not for production use.
