### 🚀 Highlights (v0.10.1 → v0.10.2)
|
||||
### 🚀 Highlights
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | Description |

|
||||
| **🌍 Non-ASCII Text Injection** | ydotool now falls back to clipboard paste for non-ASCII characters (á, é, ñ, etc.) |
|
||||
| **🔌 IBus on Wayland** | IBus now detected and started correctly on Wayland without legacy env vars |
|
||||
| **🚀 IBus Engine Startup** | Engine process now starts before registration check — fixes startup on some systems |
|
||||
| **📦 Pop!\_OS / Ubuntu 24.04+** | Added missing system dependencies (cmake, libcairo2-dev, libgirepository1.0-dev) |
|
||||
| **⚡ Code Quality** | Systematic refactor across 20 quality dimensions |
|
||||
| **🖼️ Website OG Image** | Redesigned Open Graph image — cleaner and more professional |
|
||||
| **⚙️ Advanced Settings Tab** | New Advanced tab with whisper.cpp anti-hallucination parameters (temperature, no_speech_threshold, etc.) |
|
||||
| **🔌 IBus Hardening** | Engine readiness probe at startup, runtime failure recovery, and proper engine destruction on layout switch |
|
||||
| **🎤 Recognition Reliability** | Preserve final speech on stop and improved stop-sound playback timing |
|
||||
| **📦 Distro Compatibility** | Hardened Debian layer, corrected openSUSE Tumbleweed deps, Python 3.14 support |
|
||||
| **🔧 Installer Fixes** | Repair pywhispercpp loading, validate proj configs before local repo mode, reuse existing whispercpp builds |
|
||||
|
||||
### ✨ Scope
