CRIEW

CRIEW is a Rust TUI for Linux kernel patch mail workflows. It keeps subscription, sync, review, patch application, and reply in one terminal-first local workflow. CRIEW is the repository name, while the crate and CLI use lowercase criew.

Full documentation lives in the CRIEW wiki.

GitHub Releases publish source archives, standalone binaries, bundle archives, and a SHA256SUMS manifest for Linux x86_64/aarch64/riscv64, macOS x86_64/aarch64, and Windows x86_64. Downloaded standalone Unix binaries may need chmod +x after download.

Use the wiki before enabling IMAP, patch application, or reply sending.

Current Release Workflow

The current source version in this branch is v0.0.3. For each matching v* tag, GitHub Releases publish the matching source archive together with standalone binaries, bundle archives, and SHA256SUMS for Linux x86_64/aarch64/riscv64, macOS x86_64/aarch64, and Windows x86_64.

Release Baseline

v0.0.1 is the first supported public baseline for CRIEW. From v0.0.1 onward, CRIEW supports only the CRIEW naming set: criew, ~/.criew/, criew-config.toml, criew.db, CRIEW_B4_PATH, and CRIEW_IMAP_PROXY. Courier-era names are unsupported.
