Stable v0.1.0 does not include later suites, HTML reports or workspaces.

Install and verify#

Follow the prerelease installation guide for rc.3, or the stable first-test walkthrough for v0.1.0. Verify the adjacent checksum before extraction and check playtestr --version before changing PATH.

Choose the right boundary#

Playtestr runs explicitly trusted targets with your permissions; it is not a sandbox. Your target application and runtime are your responsibility. Combining clusters, emoji/ZWJ, ambiguous-width settings and terminal queries remain outside the selected rc.3 repair.
