Ollama v0.17.8-rc1 fixes Windows build compatibility issues
Windows Build Fix
Ollama v0.17.8-rc1 resolves Windows build issues by refactoring how wildcard expansion is handled in the build process.
Technical Changes
- Wildcard Handling: The release moves wildcard expansion from shell (
sh) commands to native Go code, eliminating platform-specific compatibility issues that affected Windows builds - Build Reliability: This change ensures the build pipeline works consistently across Windows, macOS, and Linux without relying on shell-specific behavior
What Developers Should Know
This is a release candidate (rc1) addressing infrastructure improvements rather than user-facing features. If you're building Ollama from source on Windows, this update should resolve previous build failures or inconsistencies.
