What’s new in v0.4.1-beta.4
Beta 4: launches cleanly on newer Linux, releases land faster
This beta is about getting Kalam running and getting new builds to you. On Linux distributions that default to OpenSSL 4, such as Ubuntu 26.10, the app now installs and opens normally instead of failing to start. New beta builds also reach the download page as soon as they are published, so the version listed there matches what is actually available.
- Installs and launches on Ubuntu 26.10 and other OpenSSL 4 systems
- New beta builds appear on the download page as soon as they're published
After you download
Install notes
Kalam ships outside app stores, so the first launch may show a security prompt. That is expected for beta builds — see the Beta Policy.
Windows — SmartScreen may warn on first launch
If you see “Windows protected your PC,” choose More info, then Run anyway.
Browser blocked the download?
Chrome may flag new desktop installers until the publisher is widely recognized. Open download history (Ctrl+J), find the Kalam file, and choose Keep or Download unverified file.
