Summary
Hmbown released CodeWhale v0.8.47 and formally renamed the project from DeepSeek-TUI. The release keeps legacy deepseek binaries as one-release deprecation shims while moving users to the new codewhale and codewhale-tui command surface.
What changed
Version 0.8.47 rebrands the project to CodeWhale, ships compatibility shims for the old binaries, and sets v0.9.0 as the point where those legacy commands will be removed.
Why it matters
Renames are more than branding when a CLI already has installed users, scripts, and automation around it. This release matters because it preserves continuity while resetting the product identity around a broader agentic coding surface.
Evidence excerpt
The release says the project is renamed to CodeWhale, keeps deepseek and deepseek-tui as deprecation shims for one release cycle, and plans removal in v0.9.0.
