## What's New in v0.18.5
0.18.5 is a **patch** on the stable line. Default engine is still whisper.cpp. It closes the reports filed after 0.18.4: a stop pressed while a recording is starting can no longer leave the microphone recording forever, microphones that stall mid-read can no longer wedge dictation, keyboards survive suspend and the GNOME lock screen, Ctrl+mouse-wheel zoom works again, and the installer learns an upgrade mode that keeps your settings.
### 0.18.5 highlights
| Fix | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **A racing stop always wins** | A stop arriving while a recording is still starting is no longer overwritten by the start, so the microphone can never keep recording with no way to halt it (#1023 by @aagprojectsteam-max; fixes #1022 reported by @aagprojectsteam-max) |
| **Stalled microphones cannot hang Stop** | Capture reads happen outside the buffer lock, so a mic that stalls mid-read (a USB or Bluetooth hiccup, or the audio server reconfiguring the device) no longer leaves dictation stuck in PROCESSING (#1023; supersedes the approach in #974 by @neuroborus) |
| **Keyboards survive suspend and lock** | The evdev forwarder releases its EVIOCGRAB when forwarding cannot run, so keyboards no longer go dead at the GNOME lock screen after a suspend/resume (#1025; fixes #1021 reported by @iholder101) |
| **Dialogs stay on their own workspace** | Dictation Pad, Settings and other standalone windows no longer bind to other windows on Wayland, so opening Settings no longer summons or minimizes the Dictation Pad with it (#1024; fixes #984 reported by @hopsayer) |
| **Ctrl+mouse-wheel zoom works** | Ctrl key events pass through for applications again, so holding Ctrl and scrolling zooms in Firefox and elsewhere even with a double-tap Ctrl shortcut configured (#967 by @loject; fixes #950 reported by @loject) |
| **Upgrade mode in the installer** | `install.sh` on an existing install offers and defaults to an upgrade that keeps your configuration and models, and `bash /tmp/vl.sh --upgrade` runs it non-interactively (#1026; fixes #1009 reported by @plaffitt) |
### Also in v0.18.5
- Paste-injection copies are marked sensitive (`wl-copy --sensitive`) on wl-clipboard 2.2+, so clipboard managers that honor the hint, such as Klipper or cliphist, keep dictated text out of their history; the xclip/xsel path and older wl-copy have no such hint (#956 by @Nosion)
- AUR source publication is gated on attested release sdists: the recipe is prepared only from the canonical sdist whose checksum and build provenance verify against this repository's release workflow (#1020 by @sesav)
- The tray prefers libayatana-appindicator-glib when it is available (#1019; fixes #1013 reported by @jo-so)
- The Snap package lists PulseAudio microphones and explains that its whisper.cpp build is CPU-only (#1018; fixes #1011 reported by @cmcclung-ANGENG)
- The Wayland fallback overlay stays alive when the dock closes it, covering the leftover case from 0.18.4 (#1017; fixes #1010 reported by @lavoie005)
- uv pins are aligned across CI and the release workflows (#1016 by @sesav), release build tooling is pinned with a reproducible-wheel gate (#945 by @sesav), the supported uv range is widened with Fedora/AppImage build hardening (#952 by @sesav), and Dependabot bumps cover pip and GitHub Actions plus flagged vulnerable dependencies (#1014, #1015, #1008 by @Mr-Sunglasses)
AppImage, Flatpak, and Snap still ship whisper.cpp only.

## What's New in v0.18.4
0.18.4 is a **patch** on the stable line. Default engine is still whisper.cpp. It closes the reports filed after 0.18.3: long dictations keep all their audio, model downloads are always your decision, Test Dictation and the Dictation Pad stop competing for text, and GPU and thread selection match what whisper.cpp actually runs on.
