This release pairs the source at cfe1f8ff15feadec8f3a0c88a9d66648040e61dd with the complete standard generated-artifact graph in assets.generated.v10.tar.xz. The bundle was rendered on a Framework Desktop with make assets-resilient and is published as a static release asset, not as Git history.

The payload has one safe top-level directory, assets.generated/. It contains no absolute paths, parent-directory traversal, duplicate paths, symlinks, or zero-byte files. Regular files have mode 0644; directories have mode 0755. Recorded payload modification times run from 2026-08-06 15:30:43 through 15:50:11 PDT.

What changed since v20260805

The source range contains 11 commits and changes 107 files relative to v20260805. See the Stage 10, resources, Anthropocene, and generation notes in the repository for the detailed API, data, and interpretation contracts.

Static-asset inventory

The archive carries 133 product stems. Every stem has a layered SVG, a single-page PDF, and an opaque 8-bit sRGB PNG whose longest side is 3840 pixels. The 30 resource products also include a deterministic gzip copy of their SVG; each gzip member expands byte-for-byte to its adjacent .svg.

Payload class Files Bytes Largest member
Layered SVG 133 1,436,981,630 bathymetry-roulette-star-x-34-44.svg, 118,097,662 bytes
Resource SVG gzip 30 11,400,785 resources-flora-forest-area-percent-latest-2026-myriahedral-44-24.75.svg.gz, 481,292 bytes
Single-page PDF 133 541,617,073 bathymetry-roulette-star-x-34-44.pdf, 66,140,057 bytes
Opaque 4K-long-side PNG 133 162,698,866 water-authagraph-44-19.052559.png, 4,530,173 bytes
Total 429 2,152,698,354  

The 133 products comprise:

Family Product stems
Geometry 6
Graticules 6
Earth, including 12 Cahill-Keyes slices 18
Water, including five Myriahedral perspectives and two face-group slices 13
Astronomy 12
Orbital Technosphere 12
Resources Stage 6b 30
Anthropocene observations 6
Anthropocene temperature 12
Network swarm 6
Network-infrastructure sites 6
Bathymetry Roulette 6
Total 133

Cloud-atmosphere products are source-timed, credentialed opt-ins and are not in this standard bundle. TeleGeography submarine-cable and Internet-exchange topology products are separately licensed opt-ins and are also excluded. The release tag supplies source code and documentation; the static bundle supplies only assets.generated/. WebAssembly .mjs and .wasm build outputs are not in this asset and must be built from the tagged source when needed.

Hardware requirements and render host

Downloading and viewing the archive does not require the render workstation. Any platform with XZ and tar support can verify or extract it. Keep at least 3.0 GB free when retaining both the 846 MB download and the 2.153 GB extracted payload; 4 GB gives useful filesystem and verification headroom. Viewing an individual 3840-pixel PNG has ordinary desktop requirements. Editing the largest SVG or PDF can require substantially more memory than viewing its PNG.

The release-qualified regeneration host was:

Component Recorded configuration
Machine Framework Desktop
Processor/APU AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with Radeon 8060S
CPU topology 16 physical cores, 32 hardware threads
CPU identity AMD family 26, model 112, stepping 0; microcode 0xb700037
Sampled CPU frequency 2000 MHz reported by /proc/cpuinfo
Memory 131,150,248 kB kernel-visible (about 125.1 GiB; 128 GB installed class)
Swap 8,388,604 kB (8 GiB)
Render concurrency ASSET_JOBS=2, followed by the target’s serial completion pass
Graphics Integrated Radeon 8060S; no GPU acceleration is required by the build

The host reports AVX2 and AVX-512 features, but they are not release requirements. The default native build uses -std=c++20 and does not enable -march=native; generation is intended to run on any 64-bit processor supported by the documented compiler, GDAL/GEOS/H3, and Inkscape stack. Additional cores reduce compile and generator latency but are not consumed aggressively by the default two-job asset target.

No numeric minimum RAM below the reference host has been release-qualified. The largest explicit SVG is 118 MB and Inkscape’s working set is much larger than the input file, so release-parity regeneration should use a 128 GB-class host or establish a separately measured lower-memory baseline. On smaller machines, use make assets-single or make ASSET_JOBS=1 assets-resilient to prevent concurrent generator/export peaks. Reserve at least 4 GB beyond the source checkout for the generated tree and atomic export temporaries; retain another 0.85 GB if packaging the XZ archive in the same workspace.

The software and input requirements remain authoritative in the tagged docs/prerequisites.md. Hardware alone is not enough: the standard graph also needs the pinned Natural Earth data and cloud/CDN source checkout described there.

Verify and install

From a directory containing the downloaded asset:

printf '%s  %s\n' \
  5256927f2ac7702d35b1450a45d8bca69b47dc2e9e13b2def1160231e5b8705a \
  assets.generated.v10.tar.xz | sha256sum --check -
xz --test assets.generated.v10.tar.xz
tar --list --file=assets.generated.v10.tar.xz | sed -n '1,20p'
tar --extract --xz --file=assets.generated.v10.tar.xz

Extract from the repository root to put the companion tree at assets.generated/. Use a clean destination when preserving local generated work; tar extraction can replace same-named files.

The source-only checkout does not contain the release bundle. At this commit, make check includes check-resources-svg-archives, which expects the 30 resource .svg.gz files under assets.generated/svg/. Download and extract the release asset before running the complete check suite, or regenerate the asset graph locally.

Release verification record

The supplied archive was inspected before release with the following results:

The archive records a rendered snapshot, not a claim of byte-for-byte package reproducibility across different GDAL, GEOS, Inkscape, font, tar, or XZ versions. Semantic and licensing boundaries documented by each generator and data source still apply to the released images.
