Version 7.4.1 is a small post-launch patch. It smooths out installing and running Existential across different Macs, and resolves a sync issue that could stall shared updates.

A smoother install

Existential now installs with a single command, and the installer copes with a couple of situations that tripped up early setups. It correctly handles install locations whose path contains spaces. It also gets along with Macs that already run their own copy of the Neo4j graph database: instead of failing with a confusing sign-in error, Existential now notices the port conflict up front, tells you clearly what is in the way, and lets you point its own bundled database at a free port so the two can run side by side.

Running well on more Macs

On Macs with more memory, Existential no longer crashes the first time you use it. The amount of GPU memory it sets aside for the model now scales to your machine's RAM, rather than staying fixed at a limit tuned for the smallest supported Mac, so larger machines that load a bigger model start up reliably.

Fixes

  • A sync deadlock that could stall shared updates is fully resolved, keeping everyone's data aligned.
  • Release notes like these now appear on the website as soon as a new version ships, so you can read what changed right away.
