|
||||
| Feature | Description |
|
||||
|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| **⌨️ Keyboard Robustness** | Better modifier alias matching across layouts and SYN_DROPPED recovery in evdev |
|
||||
| **🎙️ Audio Compatibility** | Device channel probing now validates supported sample rates for safer defaults |
|
||||
| **🖥️ IBus + Tray Stability** | IBus activation uses `register_component`; tray updates use icon names reliably |
|
||||
| **🧪 Quality & CI Upgrades** | Test coverage rose to 80%+, with Node 24 and path-filtered CI pipelines |
|
||||
| **🖼️ Tray Resource Reliability** | Packaged resources now include tray assets to prevent missing icon scenarios |
|
||||
| **🧠 Engine Switch Safety** | Recognition is stopped before engine changes to prevent segfaults |
|
||||
| **⌨️ Layout Preservation** | IBus activation now preserves XKB keyboard layout state |
|
||||
| **🪟 UI Compatibility** | Settings dialog includes a dedicated Close button for better WM compatibility |
|
||||
| **⚡ Suspend/Resume Recovery** | App now automatically recovers speech recognition and keyboard shortcuts after system suspend/resume |
|
||||
| **🎤 Push-to-Talk Reliability** | Fixed premature transcription triggering on silence during push-to-talk mode |
|
||||
|
||||
### ✨ New in v0.10.0-beta
|
||||
### ✨ Scope
|
||||
|
||||
- **IBus registration flow improvements** - Text injection now uses explicit component registration for more reliable engine activation
|
||||
- **Expanded IBus test coverage** - Launch mode and main entrypoint paths are now covered in tests
|
||||
- **Improved project defaults** - Minimum supported Python version is now 3.9+
|
||||
- **Patch release focused on reliability** - No new features, only targeted fixes and maintenance updates
|
||||
- **Desktop UX hardening** - Better behavior across tray, settings dialog, and keyboard layout workflows
|
||||
- **Suspend/Resume stability** - New D-Bus handler ensures app survives system sleep cycles
