This from Marko:
Dear Supporters,
Artisan v1.1 is now available for download for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and RPi from its GitHub home!
<https://github.com/artisan-roaster-scope/artisan>
The main new features are a mechanism to store and recall sets of roast properties and support for Probatone roasting machines as a result of our recent collaboration with Probat.
All users should upgrade to benefit from the many small bug fixes applied to this version. Upgrading is simple! On Windows and Linux just run the v1.1 installer, on Mac OS X just remove the previous app, mount the dmg and move the new app to your disk. All your configurations and application settings will be perservered!
This is yours!
Thanks for supporting Artisan!
Marko

Thanks for the tip!
Installing I go.

I had some trouble installing. I may try again, but once installed on Linux Ubuntu 16.04, there were serious issues. Made my computer crash trying to run it and also just trying to move through the configuration menu. I ended up removing 1.1 and reinstalling 1.0 and I'm back in business. I was on the artisan email list but fell off. Guess I'll climb back on after awhile and embark again on the latest version. But 1.0 works great for me so no worries.

There have been just enough times when Marko's response to installation issues has been "ah....yes....thank you...I'll fix that" that asking there is good for everyone. Even if you can use 1.0 reporting what might be a bug in 1.1 would help everyone; and if you're the bug someone will get you sorted.

Here is what Marko has told us:
It seems that some Linux installations are not compatible with my current build setup and the reason is somewhere deep in a lib I am using or in the build setup itself. I have not enough knowledge on Linux and am about to stop producing packages for this platform which only a few are using while it takes me 80% of my total build time.
I don't know anything at all about Linux/Ubuntu, but for now it seems that SOME users are not going to be able to use Artisan 1.1. If you are not having a problem, then good....that's what we like to hear; if you are then you might want to revert to Artisan 1.0.

Well, my dedicated roasting computer is about to become a teenager (i.e it was made about 13 years ago...). The only way of getting it to work in a bearable way is to run a lightweight Linux, as even a fresh install of WinXP is as slow as molasses running uphill in wintertime. BUT, it does get less noice from the USB ports (compared to my modern laptop), which is important for Artisan.
I guess that 1.0 is good enough for a while, so there's hope...
I'll try convincing Marko not to let go of the Linux builds for a while yet, else I have to find a good stable cheap computer to replace my "old Bertha".
-
Well, I wouldn't worry. Marko adds this:
As far as I heard v1.1 works for most Linux users. Just some strange configuration (something with the GUI setup; maybe too new systems) fail.
-
I only run Linux on all my non-Apple computers so I hope this platform is supported in future.

No problem as long as you stick with Artisan 1.0
As you can see from this post at H-B, Marko has other fish to fry:
