17
181. Download a source tarball.

20
21These steps take 30 to 60 seconds on most machines. After installation, see

41## Packaging
42
43Summary of [Oils Packaging Guidelines]($wiki):
44
45- The `oils-for-unix` tarball is the fast shell in C++, completed in
46 2024. The distro package should be called `oils-for-unix`.
47- The `oils-ref` tarball is the reference implementation, that runs under CPython.
48 - It should not be used, so there's no need to create `oils-ref` packages.
49- The project is now called **Oils**, or [Oils for
50 Unix](https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2023/03/rename.html). There is no more
51 `oil`!

53## What's New
54
55- Details are in the [raw git change log](changelog.html). Not all changes
56 affect the release tarball.
57- I sometimes write a [release announcement](announcement.html) with a
58 high-level description of changes.

60## Links

62- The **[quality page](quality.html)** shows test results, metrics, and
63 benchmarks.
