The install.sh on main now dynamically resolves the latest release tag
via GitHub API (merged in PR #313), so pinning to a specific release tag
in install commands is no longer needed — and was causing users to run
the old hardcoded installer.
Update all curl install command URLs across docs, code, and website from
versioned tags (v0.9.0-beta, v0.8.0-beta) to main/install.sh:
- README.md (4 URLs + note text)
- docs/INSTALL.md (2 URLs + note text)
- docs/UPDATE.md (2 URLs)
- docs/DISTRO_COMPATIBILITY.md (1 URL)
- tests/distro-testing-checklist.md (1 URL)
- src/vocalinux/main.py (1 URL)
- web/src/app/page.tsx (remove dynamic release fetch, hardcode main)
* chore(release): prepare v0.9.0-beta

Release preparation for v0.4.1-alpha with the following updates:
Features:
- Language selector UI with 10 languages and auto-detection support
Bug Fixes:
- App drawer launch fix when installing from local repo (absolute path for VENV_DIR)
- Escape commit message in Detect Changes step
- Correct git fetch syntax for tag-based updates
Updated Files:
- src/vocalinux/version.py: 0.4.0-alpha → 0.4.1-alpha
- install.sh: Default tag v0.3.0-alpha → v0.4.1-alpha
- README.md: Install command version updates
- docs/INSTALL.md: Install command version updates
- docs/UPDATE.md: New v0.4.1-alpha section, moved v0.4.0-alpha to Previous Versions
- web/src/app/layout.tsx: Software version update
The website was displaying an outdated version (0.3.0-alpha) instead of
the current version (0.4.0-alpha) from src/vocalinux/version.py.
Updated version references in:
- web/src/app/page.tsx (header badge)
- web/src/app/layout.tsx (structured data)
The v0.3.0-alpha release was created before the --tag feature was
added to install.sh, so installing from that tag fails with "Unknown
option: --tag=v0.3.0-alpha".
Solution: Always download install.sh from main (which has --tag support)
and pass the release tag as a parameter. This ensures users get a working
installer that can install the specific stable release.
Changes:
- web/src/app/page.tsx: Download from main instead of ${latestRelease}
- README.md: Update install commands to download from main
- docs/INSTALL.md: Update install command
- .github/workflows/release.yml: Update release notes
Problem: Even though the website fetched install.sh from a specific release tag,
the script itself would clone the repository from main branch, installing
potentially unstable/untested code.
Solution:
- Add --tag parameter to install.sh to specify which release to install
- Default to v0.3.0-alpha (latest stable) instead of main
- Clone the specific tag using 'git clone --branch <tag>'
- Update website to pass --tag parameter with fetched release
Changes:
- install.sh: Add --tag parameter, default to v0.3.0-alpha, clone specific tag
- web/src/app/page.tsx: Pass --tag=<version> to install script
This ensures users install the exact release version they intended, not
whatever code is currently on main branch.

* fix: Use latest release tag for install commands instead of main branch
The web install commands previously pointed to install.sh from the main branch,
which could be unstable/untested code. Now they dynamically fetch the latest
release tag from GitHub API and use that for the install script URLs.
Changes:
- Add getInstallCommands() function that takes a release tag
- Add latestRelease state that fetches from GitHub releases API
- Update all install commands to use the fetched release tag
- Fallback to 'main' if GitHub API fails
* docs: Update README and docs to use latest release tag
Also update GitHub release workflow to use the release tag dynamically.
Changes:
- README.md: Update install commands to use v0.3.0-alpha tag
- docs/INSTALL.md: Update install command to use v0.3.0-alpha tag
- .github/workflows/release.yml: Use ${{ github.ref_name }} for install URL
- Add note pointing to GitHub Releases for latest version

* fix: VOSK-only install and CLI arg handling for low-memory systems
Fixes several issues reported by users on low-memory systems (8GB RAM):
1. Install script: Don't auto-install Whisper in non-interactive mode
- Previously, running 'curl | bash' would install Whisper by default
- Now requires explicit --with-whisper flag to install Whisper
- Prevents OOM errors on systems with limited RAM
2. CLI arguments: Command-line flags now properly override saved config
- --engine vosk now works even if config file has whisper set
- --model flag also properly overrides saved model setting
- Checks sys.argv to detect if user explicitly provided arguments
3. Default engine: Changed from 'whisper' to 'vosk'
- VOSK works on low-memory systems without OOM issues
- Users can still install and use Whisper with --with-whisper flag
- Existing configs with 'whisper' engine are still respected
Reported issues:
- OOM during installation on 8GB RAM system
- vocalinux --engine vosk being ignored
- Config file not respected when trying to force VOSK
* fix: keep whisper as default engine, improve test robustness
- Reverted default engine back to 'whisper' for better accuracy
- Install script still defaults to VOSK-only install (--with-whisper for Whisper)
- CLI args still properly override saved config
- Improved test_config_manager tests to handle module caching issues
* fix: default to Whisper install, --no-whisper for VOSK-only on low-RAM systems
Updated install behavior:
- Default (curl|bash): Installs Whisper for best experience
- --no-whisper flag: Skips Whisper AND creates config with VOSK as default engine
This allows low-RAM users (8GB) to run:
curl -fsSL .../install.sh | bash -s -- --no-whisper
Which will:
1. Skip installing torch/whisper (avoids OOM)
2. Create ~/.config/vocalinux/config.json with engine='vosk'
3. App will use VOSK by default without needing CLI flags
* docs: clarify --no-whisper is for low-RAM systems (8GB or less)
Updated README and website to explain that --no-whisper flag:
- Is intended for systems with 8GB RAM or less
- Avoids out-of-memory errors during installation
- Configures VOSK as the default speech recognition engine
* feat: add --whisper-cpu flag for CPU-only PyTorch installation
New installation option for users without NVIDIA GPU or with limited RAM:
Install script changes:
- Added --whisper-cpu flag: Installs CPU-only PyTorch (~200MB vs ~2.3GB)
- Uses https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu index for smaller torch package
- Interactive mode now offers 3 options: GPU, CPU-only, or skip Whisper
- Updated help text to explain all Whisper installation options
Documentation updates:
- README: Added --whisper-cpu example with explanation
- Website: Added new 'Whisper CPU-only' install option section
Installation options summary:
- Default (curl|bash): Whisper + GPU/CUDA support (~2.3GB, 5-10 min)
- --whisper-cpu: Whisper + CPU-only PyTorch (~200MB, 3-4 min)
- --no-whisper: VOSK only, no Whisper (~2-3 min)

- Terminal-style command display with copy button
- Added compatibility info and install time estimates
- Improved footer and feature section with consistent logo usage
* feat(web): Add double-tap Ctrl to trigger live demo
- Added keyboard detection for double-tap Ctrl (same as the real app)
- Shows visual hint 'Tap Ctrl again to start!' on first Ctrl press
- Instructions updated to highlight Ctrl+Ctrl as primary activation
- Click still works as alternative method
- Double-tap Ctrl also stops recording when active
* fix(web): Remove duplicate DictationOverlay that conflicted with LiveDemo
The old DictationOverlay was still responding to double-tap Ctrl alongside
the new LiveDemo component, causing two overlays to appear simultaneously.
Removed the page-level useDoublePress hook and DictationOverlay since the
LiveDemo now handles double-tap Ctrl detection internally.
* fix(web): Improve Quick Install section layout and readability
- Changed to stacked vertical layout for cleaner appearance
- Command now wraps with break-all instead of horizontal scroll
- Simplified compatibility text to fit better
- Better spacing and padding throughout
- Responsive bottom info section
* fix(web): Make Quick Install box wider for better text fit
Changed max-w-4xl to max-w-5xl and added horizontal padding so the
curl command doesn't wrap as much on medium-sized screens.
