Objo Studio v26.5.3 Released
How did we go from version 1.0.1 to version 26.5.3 so quickly?! Don't worry, you haven't missed hundreds of updates we've just changed how we version Objo Studio 😀.
We're now using "calendar versioning" which basically means the version number states the year and month the version was released with the third digit being the release number for that month. So, 26.5.3 means the third release in the month of May in 2026.
This release has several bug fixes reported on the forums and adds a few new features. Three are worth calling out here.
Support for command line compilation
Here’s a blog-ready section you can drop in:
Command-Line Compilation
I’m especially pleased about this. Objo projects can now be checked, built, and published from the command line.
The new objo tool uses the same compiler and build pipeline as the IDE. It loads your .objo solution, assembles the project sources, includes shared code, generates the code needed for visual layouts, runs the compiler and type checker, then produces the same kind of build output Studio would create.
For example:
objo check MySolution.objo --project MyApp
objo build MySolution.objo --project MyApp --rid osx-arm64 --output Build
objo publish MySolution.objo --project MyApp --rid osx-arm64 --output Publish
A valid Objo Studio license is required to use the solution-level command-line tools. You can activate once in Studio and use the CLI, or activate non-interactively for CI with environment variables, secret files, or standard input:
objo license activate --key-env OBJO_LICENSE_KEY
objo license status
This means Objo projects can now be part of real automated workflows: compiler checks on every commit, scripted release builds, CI pipelines, and repeatable publishing without opening the IDE. Studio remains the friendliest way to build interactively, but the CLI gives licensed users a headless route for automation and professional project workflows.
Full documentation can be found here: Command Line Docs.
Support for Intel CPUs on macOS
As requested, we now provide a build of Objo Studio that runs on legacy Intel macOS. This is experimental as Apple themselves have deprecated support for Intel macs. You can find the Intel builds on the downloads page.
Minimal telemetry
We have added some minimal telemetry to Objo Studio. Every time Studio is opened, it will send the following information to our servers:
- Objo Studio's version number
- The host operating system type (macOS, Windows or Linux)
- The host operating system version number
That's it. No identifiable information, nothing else. Why have we done this? Well since Objo Studio is free, it would be super nice to know how many people use it each day. It also allows us to figure out which platforms are most popular and if people are updating Studio frequently.
The telemetry is turned on by default but can be completely disabled with a checkbox in the Privacy area of the Settings window.
