maj00r de3f088ba8 Black box: older recordings read as before, single vehicles told apart, each platform end its own tolerance
- A light pattern asked for in a recording made before the lamps were
  written is checked as the signal it shows, as before.
- Whether the couplings were written is told by the format (the
  movement in the cab samples), not by there being any: a recording
  where every train is a single vehicle has none, and the user going
  over to another vehicle left the timetable shown.
- The 2 m a train may stand off the platform is at each end, not for
  both together.

StarterNG

Launcher for the MaSzyna train simulator, written in C# with Avalonia.

Building a native (NativeAOT) build

The project publishes as a self-contained NativeAOT binary — no .NET runtime is needed on the target machine. The commands below are the same ones CI runs, see .github/workflows/dotnet.yml.

Requirements:

  • .NET SDK 9
  • Linux: a native toolchain and zlib headers — sudo apt install clang zlib1g-dev (Debian/Ubuntu) or sudo dnf install clang zlib-devel (Fedora)
  • Windows: the Visual Studio C++ build tools (Desktop development with C++)

Restore for the target runtime first, then publish:

dotnet restore StarterNG/StarterNG.csproj -r linux-x64

dotnet publish StarterNG/StarterNG.csproj \
    -c Release -r linux-x64 --self-contained true --no-restore \
    -p:PublishAot=true -p:PublishTrimmed=true \
    -o publish/linux-x64

For a Windows build swap both linux-x64 occurrences for win-x64 (and the line continuations for PowerShell backticks). NativeAOT does not cross-compile, so the Windows package has to be built on Windows and the Linux one on Linux — that is why CI uses a windows-2022 and an ubuntu-22.04 runner.

The output directory is the whole distributable: the Starter executable, the Skia/HarfBuzz native libraries and startercfg/ with the translations and the default key bindings. The .dbg (or .pdb) file next to it is debug symbols and can be dropped from a release. Trim/AOT analysis warnings during the publish are expected and do not fail the build.

CI builds both runtimes on every push and pull request to main and staging, and on manual dispatch. Pushes additionally replace a rolling pre-release with the packaged artifacts — tagged latest for main and staging for staging.
