Development Release

Geode development release for commit fbba3e6. Since this is not a regular release, Geode will not install the resources automatically, so you should use the installer if you want them.

Geode v4.6.3

The latest update may have tried fixing the crashlogs on Windows, but it unfortunately was not entirely successful in that. This update is supposed to fully fix the issue.

v4.6.3

• Fix Windows crashlogs not appearing (for real this time) (dedf1eb)

Geode v4.6.2

Another small bugfix for windows and ios!

v4.6.2

• Fix Windows crashlogs not appearing (02cee65)
• Unzip JIT-less iOS binaries separately from the .geode file (85fe11f)

Geode v4.6.1

Not a big update without rapid bugfixes! A small update that should fix a lot of crashes.

v4.6.1

• Fix several random crashes caused by incorrect relocation code in Tuliphook
• Make unzip upon download iOS only (0a6d09c)

Geode v4.6.0

Big update incoming! This update mainly adds support for JIT-less iOS and lots of internal TulipHook changes. Huge thanks to @FireMario211 and @altalk23! There might be bugs or crashes, so please let us know if you come across to them!

v4.6.0

• JIT-less iOS support! (#1395)
  • This means that Geode now supports iOS 26 beta and above
  • Follow instructions in the iOS launcher guide for setting up
  • Old mods compiled for iOS need to be recompiled to work with this version, but other platforms are unaffected
  • There are new additions to help with JIT-less specific hooking and patching
    • Geode's own Modify classes should work out of the box
    • You can check if the platform is JIT-less iOS by using the Loader::isPatchless function
    • For custom hooks, you can use the GEODE_MOD_STATIC_HOOK macro to add a hook. This hook can be enabled and disabled like normal.
    • For custom patches, you can use the GEODE_MOD_STATIC_PATCH macro to add a patch. This patch will be applied by the launcher and can not be disabled.
    • If you have any dynamic patches, you can not use them with JIT-less iOS
  • This is a pretty big update, so there might be some issues with it. Please report the issues you find.
• Major TulipHook update from 2.5.0 to 3.1.0 (#1395)
  • Adds debug logging behind the launcher flag enable-tulip-hook-logs
