These two open-source software, that were launched, are called "[https://github.com/teknogods/OpenParrot OpenParrot]" and "[https://github.com/teknogods/TeknoParrotUI TeknoParrotUI]" (GUI for Windows that works with both TeknoParrot and OpenParrot). TeknoParrot has been changed to rolling update now. New features would be pushed to the built-in updater when it's available, and TeknoParrot website only hosts a certain version and an online installer called TPBootStrapper. Users could either use TPBootStrapper to download and install the lastest version, or download a legacy version and then upgrade to the latest one via the built-in updater.
