* fix(snap): inject into native Wayland apps via ydotool
Edge rev 7 only ships wtype and xdotool. GNOME rejects the virtual
keyboard protocol, so the snap falls back to xdotool and types only
into XWayland windows. Native GTK/Qt apps get nothing.
Stage ydotool, request the uinput plug, and prefer ydotool when wtype
is rejected. Distro ydotool 0.1.x still needs a writable /dev/uinput;
log `snap connect vocalinux:uinput` when the Snap cannot open it.
* docs(snap): v0.16.2 edge has no uinput plug
The store snap (0.16.2, latest/edge rev 7) does not declare uinput.
`sudo snap connect vocalinux:uinput` fails with "has no plug named
uinput" and dictation only reaches XWayland apps. Spell that out in
README, INSTALL, UPDATE, the website changelog, and the store copy so
people do not run the 0.17 connect command against rev 7.
* docs(snap): drop the unconfirmed 0.17 version from uinput notes
Greptile P2: the tree is still 0.16.2 and the release process does not
name the next tag. Tell people to refresh until `snap info` lists the
uinput plug, instead of waiting on a version we have not cut.
Homepage family strip still pinned the old Win tag. Match PRODUCT.md and
the published VocaWin release. Keep the unsigned / SmartScreen line.
Fixes#811.
* docs: polish project documentation for a clearer public surface
Rewrite the README and supporting docs for a more professional first
impression: less emoji and badge noise, install-first structure, and a
real documentation index. Add a Contributor Covenant, tighten SECURITY
and GitHub templates, and make distro/update guides read as product docs
instead of internal status notes.
* docs: split install guide and add changelog plus support pages
Break INSTALL.md into a short primary guide, manual/PyPI package lists,
and troubleshooting. Add root CHANGELOG.md and SUPPORT.md, wire them
into the docs index and README, and drop the outdated screenshot lag note
now that v0.15 assets are on main.
* docs: humanize PR copy and remove em dashes
Strip em/en dashes from the documentation rewritten in this PR, fix
mid-sentence colon fallout from that pass, and smooth a few stiff
phrases so the public docs read more natural.
* docs: list Faster Whisper after rebase onto main
Installer and CLI already accept faster_whisper. Document it next to
the other engines, drop the outdated screenshot lag note, and keep the
on-device wording honest for local vs remote.
* feat(commands): localize punctuation voice commands by language
Voice command phrases were English-only even when recognition language
was set to Italian, French, etc. Merge locale punctuation/line-break
aliases from the recognition language into CommandProcessor, keep
English phrases available, and document the behavior.
Fixes#640

* fix(commands): keep line breaks and French apostrophe aliases
Attach-left punctuation now eats only horizontal whitespace, so a
localized "new line" followed by a period or comma still inserts a
newline. French aliases include ASCII, U+2019, and backtick apostrophes,
and longest-match still wins so "point" cannot fire inside
"point d'interrogation".

Bump version metadata and series-aware notes for the 0.16.2 patch:
KDE leftover IBus, Wayland/IBus shortcuts, BackSpace delete that,
installer glslc, nightly stamp, release integrity, and CI/docs gates.
* fix(site): VocaGateway family card is Beta
PRODUCT.md and vocagateway.vocahq.com already say Beta. The homepage
chip still said Early.
See #764.
* fix(docs): README family table also says Gateway Beta
Same leftover as the homepage chip. Still optional self-hosted, not
on-device.
See #764.
AUR --no-isolation uses extra python-setuptools 84, so the <82 cap blocked the 0.16.0 rebuild. AUR pywhispercpp backends are still 1.4 and crash if we pass context_params; skip that argument below 1.5.
Bump the stable line from 0.16.0 to 0.16.1. README and UPDATE keep the 0.16 series highlights and add the patch-only fixes. Website changelog, schema, AppStream, and AUR PKGBUILD follow.
* fix(copy): VocaWin is Beta, still unsigned
Call VocaWin Beta on the site family card, About blurb, and README table, same word as VocaMac. Keep the unsigned / SmartScreen wording. No version tag.
* fix(copy): cite VocaWin v0.1.0-beta.1, no release URL
The git tag exists on VocaHQ/vocawin. GitHub Releases does not. About, README, and the site family card name the tag. Links stay on vocawin.com and the repo.
* chore(build): migrate justfile tooling to uv
All recipes now run through 'uv run' against .venv, with a shared
DEV_EXTRAS variable (dev + vad) because uv syncs the environment
exactly and would otherwise uninstall the dev tools between
recipes. 'deps' installs dev+vad; new 'deps-all' covers every
extra. 'build' switches to 'uv build'; 'version' uses --no-sync.
Bump [tool.uv] required-version to >=0.12,<0.13 for uv 0.12.x, and
raise the mypy python_version target to 3.12: mypy 1.19 in the lock
cannot target 3.9 and numpy 2.x stubs need a 3.12 target to parse
(mypy is not run in CI or pre-commit; this only affects 'just
typecheck').
* fix(tests): isolate test runs from real XDG state; fix Arch model-path crash
Local test runs failed en masse (185 failures) while CI stayed
green: tests picked up the developer's real ~/.local/share/vocalinux
models via the default XDG paths and switched IBus/keyboard code
paths through the desktop session env (XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP/
XDG_SESSION_TYPE on GNOME/Wayland, issue #478 branches). conftest
now points XDG base dirs at a throwaway session-wide directory and
clears session variables at import time, mirroring a fresh CI
runner (paths like MODELS_DIR freeze at first import during
collection, so fixture-time isolation is too late).
Also guard the Arch branch of _get_system_model_paths(): it removed
/usr/local/share/vocalinux/models unconditionally and crashed with
ValueError on Arch hosts when a custom XDG_DATA_DIRS never added
that path. Add regression tests, and make the lock-file test assert
the actual $XDG_DATA_HOME/vocalinux contract instead of the
hardcoded ~/.local/share default.
* fix(tests): keep the IBus engine double a plain class
Python 3.14's unittest.mock re-instantiates a user subclass when it builds
child mocks (klass(name=...)). VocalinuxEngine inherits from whatever
IBus.Engine resolves to, and the test module bound that to the MagicMock
class itself, so every engine instantiation raised
TypeError: VocalinuxEngine.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'name'
on 3.14 while passing on 3.13. Replace it with a plain stand-in class that
still hands out per-instance MagicMocks for the IBus API surface the engine
touches.
The same pattern remains in test_ibus_engine.py, test_ibus_engine_utils.py,
test_ibus_active_engine_guard.py and test_ibus_xkb_wayland.py; those never
instantiate the engine, so they are unaffected for now.
* fix(install): build the venv from the system Python
install.sh looked up a bare `python3` from PATH. Started from an activated
virtualenv — a shell left in uv's .venv after `just deps` — it built venv/
from that interpreter, where distro PyGObject is invisible even with
--system-site-packages, and the run aborted with
Distro PyGObject (python3-gi / python3-gobject) is not importable in the venv.
A mismatched venv/ then survived every retry, because the installer reuses
whatever venv it finds.
- drop an inherited VIRTUAL_ENV (and its bin from PATH) before any
interpreter lookup
- select the interpreter explicitly: $SYSTEM_PYTHON (default
/usr/bin/python3) or PATH python3, preferring one that can import gi,
and create the venv with it instead of `python3`
- recreate venv/ when it was built by a different interpreter
- name the interpreter in the PyGObject guard's error
Documents the two environments (uv's .venv for tooling, venv/ for the
installed app) in CONTRIBUTING, the justfile header and AGENTS.md, and adds
the mismatch symptom to the INSTALL troubleshooting section.
* chore(python): raise the supported floor to 3.11
requires-python promised 3.9 while the CI matrix ran 3.9/3.10/3.11/3.13,
the classifiers advertised up to 3.14, mypy targeted 3.12 and install.sh
enforced 3.9 — five different answers to "which Python does this support".
Settle on 3.11 everywhere: pyproject (requires-python, classifiers, black
targets), install.sh's MIN_VERSION, check-system-deps.sh, the distro package
map, the CI matrix (now 3.11-3.14, matching the classifiers), the release and
nightly workflows, and the docs.
mypy now targets the floor instead of 3.12, so type checking covers what we
promise; numpy 2.x ships stubs in 3.12 syntax that a 3.11 target cannot
parse, so its imports are skipped. (mypy has 71 pre-existing errors either
way; no CI job gates on it.)
uv.lock and the requirements/* exports are regenerated — dropping 3.9/3.10
removes most of the version-conditional resolution branches.
tests/test_python_version_policy.py pins the invariant: install.sh's floor,
requires-python, the classifiers and the CI matrix must agree.
* ci: run lint and tests from uv.lock
The lock file and the hash-pinned exports were not enforced anywhere: CI
still built a venv by hand and installed unpinned `PyGObject` plus
`-e ".[dev,vad]"`, so the tool versions it checked against had nothing to do
with the ones `just lint` uses locally.
Both Python jobs now use astral-sh/setup-uv and run through `uv sync
--locked` / `uv run --locked`, which also fails the build when uv.lock drifts
from pyproject.toml.
Partially covers phase 5 of #701 (tests install from the lock, lock freshness
gate); trusted publishing, artifact checksums and action SHA pinning are
still open there.
* ci: lint from a dedicated dependency group
The lint job failed on this branch: `uv run --extra dev` syncs the whole
project, so it tried to build pyaudio from source on a runner that installs
no system dependencies.
src/pyaudio/device_api.c:9:10: fatal error: portaudio.h: No such file or directory
Move black/isort/flake8 out of the `dev` extra into a `lint` dependency
group. CI runs `uv run --locked --only-group lint`, which installs the three
pure-Python tools and skips the project entirely — no portaudio or
girepository headers needed. `just deps` and DEV_EXTRAS request the group
alongside the dev extras, so the local environment still carries test and
lint tooling at once and `just lint` matches CI version for version.
pre-commit is unaffected: its hooks pin their own tool versions upstream.
* fix(install): never configure an engine the venv cannot import
vosk became an optional extra in #705, but the installer still writes
`"engine": "vosk"` into config.json on the whisper.cpp fallback path even
when installing the extra only produced a warning. config.json also survives
reinstalls — every writer guards on "file does not exist" — so an engine
picked by an earlier attempt outlives the venv that supported it. Either way
Vocalinux dies at startup:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vosk'
- the fallback now writes the vosk config only when `import vosk` actually
succeeds, and otherwise leaves the engine configuration alone
- a new verify_configured_engine() runs near the end of the install: if
config.json selects vosk and the venv cannot import it, it says so and
prints both fixes instead of leaving a broken install behind
* feat(models): verify every model download against a pinned digest
Pins a sha256/md5 per downloadable speech model in
src/vocalinux/utils/model_checksums.txt and verifies against it in both
install.sh and the runtime downloaders, before the file is moved into place.
Verification fails closed. Covers phase 2.5 of #701; see the PR for details.
* docs(agents): rebase AGENTS.md onto the #727 rewrite
* fix(install): hash models that are already on disk instead of trusting them
* refactor(models): one download path per engine, and fix Whisper's
* docs(install): drop distros that cannot meet the 3.11 floor
* docs: retire the distros and Python versions the 3.11 floor rules out
* fix(install): abort instead of warning when Python is below the floor
* fix(install): fall back to the system Python, not the one on PATH
* fix(install): match an existing venv by installation, not by X.Y
* fix(install): repair a config naming an engine the venv cannot import
* fix(models): pin VOSK by the sha256 of bytes we fetched, not upstream's md5
* fix(justfile): request the dev set in every recipe that syncs
* test(version): scan the docs and website trees for a stale Python floor
* docs: correct the stale model-checksum and distro claims
* fix(models): stamp the VOSK tree the app extracts, as the installer does
* fix(install): replace an unverified VOSK model only once its successor is ready
* docs(install): align the Fedora floor with the rest of the tree
* test(install): drop an f-string with no placeholders
* test(models): stub the downloader probe the VOSK installer test relies on
* docs: drop the long dashes from two model-checksum comments
* fix(install): gate on the interpreter, not on the distro release label
* fix(justfile): export the lint group into requirements/dev.txt
* fix(models): unpack the VOSK tree into staging and stamp it before the swap
* fix(whisper): adopt a checkpoint an earlier release stored under the catalog name
* docs(settings): state what a stray Whisper copy really means for deletion
* fix(models): hash a whisper.cpp model found on disk before it reaches ctypes
* docs(contributing): stop telling readers to uninstall their linters
* fix(install): stop warning off distros the project documents as supported
* docs(distros): file the supported derivatives under supported
Stable minor since v0.15.0. Bumps version to 0.16.0 across app, web, AUR, and Flatpak AppStream, and refreshes docs, changelog, and SECURITY.
Tag v0.16.0 after this lands on main.
* web: restyle vocalinux.com to the Voca family workbench
Bring the Linux marketing site onto the same paper, ink, and teal language
as VocaHQ, VocaMac, VocaPhone, and VocaGateway. Drop the site-wide dark
mode so the canvas stays paper-only, matching the other product sites.
* web: loop the home ribbon without a gap or jump
The ticker used a stretched full-width track, so a -50% slide left an empty
right edge before snapping back. Two equal groups, each wider than the
viewport, scroll by exactly one group width.
* web: match vocahq.com ribbon speed and teal band
The looped ticker was covering six item cycles in 32s, so it raced.
It now spends 28s per cycle like vocahq.com, uses the same dark-teal
band, and pauses when the tab is hidden.
* web: drive the hero panel clock from the visitor's local time
Replace the static 11:24 mock with a 24-hour HH:MM clock in the client
timezone, updated on the minute.
* web: add official platform marks on the family cards
Use the .github brand platform SVGs (Linux, Apple, Android, Windows)
plus the HQ server mark for VocaGateway, matching vocahq.com's product row.
* web: restore a Light/Dark flip on the screenshots page
The captured GTK shots exist in both appearances. A page-local switch
defaults to prefers-color-scheme and stores a tab override. The rest of
the site stays paper-only.
* web: make the homepage CTA say Install, not Get
The button already jumps to the one-line installer. Name that action,
note that there is no account, and keep the same copy in the closer
and the mobile menu.
* web: style install commands as GTK terminals
Command boxes use a headerbar with copy, a centered title, and
window controls on the right. The prompt is user@linux:~$, not
Mac traffic-light chrome.
* web: stop repeating the engine list in the hero
The proof line, the notes window, and the tray terminal all said
the same whisper.cpp / Whisper / VOSK / Remote API line. Engines
stay on the window chips. Proof is now desktop and license facts.
The terminal shows launching into the tray.
* web: reflow copy, color prompts, and add install paths
Drop pretty/balance wrapping so titles and ledes follow the
shell width. Color the user@linux prompt. Hero terminal now
says audio stays on this machine. Ribbon adds project words.
AppImage and source-build sit under the install command.
* web: put X, Discord, and GitHub by the footer mark
Official family social marks sit next to the Vocalinux logo.
Footer columns are Product, Install, Guides, and Project.
The bottom line is Part of VocaHQ, without X11 or whisper.cpp.
* web: add hello@vocahq.com to the footer social row
The official mail mark sits with X, Discord, and GitHub and opens
the family hello@vocahq.com address.
* web: use the circular mark in the header and footer
Header and footer now use the official teal circle lockup instead
of the square app icon.
* web: ship a circular favicon and a family OG card
Favicons use the teal circle lockup. The Open Graph image is redone
in the paper workbench language with the current homepage line.
* web: set the hero to Dictate locally / In any app
Shorter couplet in the VocaHQ display size, with a matching
lede and Open Graph card.
* web: gray the hero terminal note as a comment
The second line was reading as part of the vocalinux command.
It is now a dim # comment under the prompt.
* fix(web): drop stale 100% offline copy and mark VocaWin alpha
vocalinux.com still called VocaWin planned and said the Linux app was
100% offline. Local engines stay on the machine. Remote API is opt-in.
VocaWin is developer alpha: unsigned NSIS (~12 MB) and MSI (~34 MB),
latest prerelease v0.1.0-alpha.1.
Fixes#709
* fix(web): drop leftover never-leaves claims
Open source and privacy pages still said voice data never leaves the
machine. Local engines stay local. Remote API is opt-in.
Replace the old traced app icon and tray SVGs with the approved family
mic geometry from VocaHQ/.github brand assets. Regenerate vocalinux.com
favicons and logo PNGs/WebPs from the same source. No version bump.
Per brand book §9 and §10.
Repo links, install one-liners, and release checks now use
github.com/VocaHQ/vocalinux. The site mentions VocaHQ without a redesign.
The Codeberg mirror, personal email, and X handle are unchanged.
* feat(shortcuts): default to hold Right Alt push-to-talk on first install
Double-tap Ctrl conflicts with many desktop and app shortcuts, so new
installs now use hold Right Alt (Option) in push-to-talk mode. Existing
config.json values are preserved unchanged.
Updates README, user guide, AGENTS.md, first-run dialog, website copy,
and tests to match the new defaults.
* refactor(shortcuts): trim redundant default-change test and comments
Drop the fresh-install assertion that duplicated DEFAULT_CONFIG coverage,
remove the duplicated Right-Alt rationale from config_manager, and drop a
vacuous source-string check from the settings shortcuts test.
* fix(shortcuts): align install.sh seeds and preserve legacy toggle mode
install.sh still wrote ctrl+ctrl without mode, so merges with the new
push_to_talk default became hold-Ctrl. Seed right_alt + push_to_talk for
new installs, and migrate existing shortcut-only configs to mode=toggle
so prior behavior is unchanged.
* style(config): fix black formatting after shortcuts migration
* fix(shortcuts): preserve legacy defaults when shortcuts section is missing
Existing config files without a shortcuts section previously inherited
ctrl+ctrl toggle from DEFAULT_CONFIG. Pin those historical defaults on
upgrade so the new first-install Right Alt push-to-talk defaults do not
silently change behavior.
* docs(agents): unwrap hard-broken dictation control paragraph
Keep the AGENTS.md paragraph as a single line like the surrounding prose.
* docs(packaging): prefer Ayatana AppIndicator in Fedora/Arch hints
Follow-up to #621: align docs, AUR depends, package map, dependency
check messages, and troubleshooting copy with the Ayatana-first install
path so manual installs and AUR users get a working KDE tray icon.

* docs(web): refresh screenshots for v0.15 sidebar settings UI
Recapture product and settings gallery shots against the searchable
sidebar settings dialog, keeping the previous asset filenames and
exact pixel dimensions with wallpaper padding around each window.
* fix(web): correct screenshot semantics after adversarial review
Keep the existing transcription and tray images because the replacements did not
show their claimed flows. Populate the Logs dialog and unlock Advanced settings
so those refreshed images demonstrate the features described by the gallery.
* fix(web): retake screenshots as square crops with uniform padding
Resize settings dialogs to a near 1:1 window, capture with ~28px wallpaper
padding on all sides, open About from the tray menu, and skip redoing the
awkward XFCE system-tray asset.
* docs(web): retake v0.15 screenshots on GNOME (light/dark)
Window-only captures from Ubuntu/GNOME at 960x720 for settings and
logs, with matching dark variants under screenshots/dark/. Replace the
old Shortcuts shot with Performance to match the sidebar.
* feat(web): theme-aware light/dark screenshot switching
Serve paired GNOME captures and swap them with the site theme via
dark:hidden / hidden dark:block. Replace Shortcuts gallery entry with
Performance to match the v0.15 sidebar.
* docs(web): refresh screenshots after About moves into Settings
Rebase onto main brought the in-app update checker: About is now a
sidebar settings page. Recapture light/dark GNOME panels at 960x720 and
update gallery copy/metadata accordingly.
* docs: use single screenshot source for README and website
Point README images at web/public/screenshots so product shots live in
one place, drop the unused resources/screenshots tree (including the old
demo video and about-updates set), and replace the missing shortcuts
shot with performance.
* docs(web): refresh light/dark screenshots and product grid
Replace the screenshot set with fresh captures for both themes, and
lay out the three Product shots in a single equal-height row.
* fix(web): align screenshot metadata, sizes, and theme loading
Restore dictation copy for the 00-transcription asset, set width/height
from the recaptured PNGs, preload only the light next/image twin when
priority is set, and eager-load both theme variants by default so dark
mode does not flash empty on first toggle.
* fix(web): show full settings screenshot without crop
Use object-contain so the homepage settings dialog fits the frame
instead of object-cover clipping the sidebar.
* chore(release): prepare v0.15.0
Bump version across app, web, AUR, and Flatpak metainfo. Document GitHub
release-notes rules, refresh README/UPDATE/INSTALL/USER_GUIDE for the 0.15
series (sidebar settings, AppImage, auto-pause/keepalive, Vulkan device
selection), and align website product surfaces with shipped features.

* fix(ui): AppImage smoke fixes for tray icons, labels, and identity
Replace placeholder mic tray SVGs with opaque branded icons, show
whisper.cpp instead of Whisper_cpp, set GLib/AppIndicator identity to
Vocalinux (not main.py), and give About dialog buttons enough padding
so labels are not clipped under Adwaita.
* fix(packaging): harden AppImage build for Wayland and tray deps
Pin the build interpreter, install onnxruntime into the bundle, set
desktop Exec=AppRun + StartupWMClass, prune typelibs to an allowlist
after linuxdeploy, and stop forcing GDK_BACKEND=x11 on Wayland
(VOCALINUX_FORCE_X11=1 remains as an escape hatch). CI AppImage jobs
also pull Ayatana AppIndicator and librsvg SVG loader packages.
* fix(packaging): bundle full stdlib from base_prefix in AppImage
When build.sh runs under a venv, sys.prefix only has site-packages, so
the AppImage was missing encodings and crashed on start. Copy the
interpreter and stdlib from sys.base_prefix, force pip
--ignore-installed into AppDir, set Gdk program class to Vocalinux, and
tone down the muted tray slash so small StatusNotifier icons stay slate.
* fix(tray): use absolute icon paths so stale hicolor icons lose
XFCE StatusNotifier resolves IconName through the system theme and can
ignore IconThemePath. A leftover ~/.local/share/icons placeholder
(vocalinux-microphone-off.svg filled #e74c3c) was winning over the
AppImage's bundled icons. Outside Flatpak, pass absolute SVG paths to
set_icon_full / new_with_path instead of bare theme names.
* feat(web): deslop marketing site with workstation craft identity
Replace generic AI SaaS landing patterns with a deliberate Linux desk
utility look: cool paper palette, Bricolage + Source Sans, solid type,
editorial feature rows, and terminal install as first-class proof.
Adds PRODUCT.md, DESIGN.md, and WEB-DESLOP-NOTES.md. Drops unused geist
and react-intersection-observer. No product claim changes.
* chore(web): drop local deslop working notes from PR
WEB-DESLOP-NOTES.md was a firstmate/session artifact, not product docs.
* fix(web): stop mobile horizontal overflow and harden viewport layout
Long install URLs expanded the page past the phone width. Constrain
terminal pre with break-all, min-w-0 columns, and overflow-x clip.
Tighten mobile hero type and full-width CTAs. Add Playwright viewport
QA script and jest checks that assert no overflow at desktop/tablet/mobile.
* refactor(web): drop browser speech preview from marketing home
Remove the cloud SpeechRecognition demo section and nav Demo link.
Keep product truth: hero install, features, screenshots, engines.
Fold shortcut/engine/audio links into the features intro.
Delete unused LiveDemo component and its unit test.
* chore(web): remove orphaned demo overlay and double-press hook
Only LiveDemo used these; gone with the browser preview section.
* feat(web): borrow PR #546 craft language into deslop home
Merge closed redesign language onto feat/web-deslop-craft: pure white
and near-black iron surfaces, emerald-committed palette, asymmetric
hero with real app screenshots, full-bleed install strip, feature bento
with tray/settings shots, and install-to-dictation steps.
Keep Bricolage + Source Sans (not Geist), no browser speech demo, and
mobile overflow guards. Update screenshots homepage expectations.
* docs(design): align DESIGN.md tokens with PR #546 iron/emerald palette
* fix(web): drop settings screenshot from installer details
Uninstall sat too far below the list once the general-settings shot
was in that column. Keep checklist, requirements, and uninstall only.
* fix(web): raise light-mode primary and footer contrast
Darken light emerald so white button text hits ~5:1 (was 3.4).
Brighten install-strip and footer secondary text for legibility.
Verified light/dark × desktop/tablet/mobile with no overflow.
* fix(web): compact feature cards to kill empty vertical space
Right-column tiles were h-full + justify-between next to a tall
screenshot, so short copy left large voids. Use content-height cards
with denser padding and inline link rows instead.
* fix(web): pair settings shot with full feature rail
Replace three orphan cards beside a tall dialog with a six-row
feature panel that stretches with the screenshot frame. Crop the
settings image with object-cover/object-top so heights match and
no void sits next to the UI shot.
* feat(web): apply homepage craft language to SEO child pages
Rewrite SeoSubpageShell chrome (fixed nav, install pill, iron footer)
to match the deslop home. Add subpage utilities and retoken all
templated child routes: borders, radii, mono kickers, single emerald
accent, terminal panels, no rainbow icon tiles or gradient cards.
* fix(web): avoid invalid @apply hover:border-primary/40 in subpage-card
* fix(web): rewrite subpage CSS without invalid Tailwind @apply
* fix(web): color comparison X icons rose-red on alternatives
Use soft rose (#c45c5c / #e08b8b) for no/cons marks so they read as
distinct from emerald yes/checks without looking like form errors.
* docs(web): move product/design docs under web/ and drop impeccable markers
Keep PRODUCT.md and DESIGN.md next to the Next app (not repo root), add
web/AGENTS.md as the entry point, and point the root AGENTS website
section at those files. Strip tool-specific schema comments.
* fix(web): use icon-only copy control on install terminal
Replace the chunky Copy/Copied chip with a quiet clipboard icon that
turns into a check on success.
* fix(web): restyle system requirements as a spec rail
Replace the nested bullet card with mono-label / value pairs under the
installer section so it matches the craft language used elsewhere.
* fix(web): center engine rows and quiet the Default badge
Align name/badge with multi-line engine details on sm+; replace the
filled green pill with a small mono outline chip.
Tray troubleshooting previously only showed apt, which is wrong on Fedora
and Arch. Document AppIndicator install for Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, and
Arch in INSTALL.md and the website troubleshooting page.
Fixes#570
* chore(release): prepare v0.14.2
IBus stability patch on the 0.14 series: engine process launch after XDG
import (#534) and FocusIn gate for first dictation on GNOME Wayland (#533).
Keep 0.14 series feature list in README/UPDATE for patch releases; changelog
and AppStream note only the delta. Document that rule in RELEASE_PROCESS.
* fix(release): address 0.14.2 review findings
- Dates: v0.14.2 uses 2026-07-17 (not before 0.14.1)
- AUR: sha256sums=SKIP until tag; document updpkgsums in RELEASE_PROCESS
- Single version source: package __init__ re-exports version.py; User-Agent uses __version__
- Docs: drop redundant series recaps; shrink AppStream/changelog delta
- README ecosystem status: Stable v0.14.2 (not Beta)
* docs(release): include settings scroll fixes in 0.14.2 notes
Cover #538 and #541 (scrollable settings tabs / wheel polish) in README,
UPDATE, website changelog, AppStream, and version history after rebasing
onto main.
Patch release for Flatpak/AUR packaging and post-0.14.0 fixes:
installer wrappers, ydotool dual API and Flatpak socket probe, model
download timeouts, layout-aware hotkeys, and related docs/web bumps.
* docs(screenshots): refresh v0.14 settings/About shots and add website gallery
Replace the outdated About dialog screenshot and supersede the old single
settings dialog with the six v0.14.0-beta settings tabs. Keep unique product
shots that have no replacements. Add a dedicated /screenshots/ website page
with header/nav discoverability and a homepage link (no full gallery on home).
* docs(screenshots): drop obsolete features-overview shot
The annotated features overview was the pre-tabbed settings panel and no
longer matches the v0.14 UI. Remove it from README, website gallery, and assets.
* docs(screenshots): ship full-resolution web transcription shot
Restore the original PNG instead of the downscaled copy so the website
gallery matches the repo assets bit-for-bit.
* feat(web): add click-to-expand lightbox on screenshots gallery
Open a full-screen dialog when a shot is clicked, with prev/next controls,
keyboard arrows, Escape to close, and captioned counter for browsing the set.
* fix(web): avoid next/image HMR crash on screenshots gallery
Use plain img tags in the client gallery so dev-mode webpack chunk
reloads do not throw options.factory call errors while hydrating.
Bump brace-expansion, js-yaml, @babel/core, and related transitive
deps via npm audit fix. Override nested postcss so Next.js no longer
pulls vulnerable 8.4.31 (XSS in CSS stringify output).
* chore(release): prepare v0.14.0-beta
- Bump version 0.13.0-beta -> 0.14.0-beta (src/vocalinux/version.py)
- README: refresh What's New for v0.14.0-beta and bump comparison table
- docs/UPDATE.md: add v0.14.0-beta section and bump checkout example
- SECURITY.md: mark 0.14.x supported, 0.13.x unsupported
- docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md: add v0.14.0-beta to version history
- web: bump package.json / package-lock.json / page.tsx schema + badge
- web changelog: add v0.14.0-beta entry
* ci(codecov): allow 0.5% project coverage threshold
Prevents version-bump/docs-only PRs from being blocked by minor
coverage fluctuations (e.g. -0.04% on a release-prep branch).
* docs(release): correct chronological order in version history table
* docs(release): add #509 shortcut UI exclusivity fix to v0.14.0-beta notes
* fix(models): correct download size metadata for whisper.cpp and VOSK
The size_mb values in WHISPERCPP_MODEL_INFO were using parameter counts instead of actual download sizes, causing the UI to display incorrect sizes (e.g., showing 39 MB when actual download is 74 MB). Updated all whisper.cpp models with verified sizes from Hugging Face and adjusted VOSK medium/large sizes to better represent actual downloads.
Ultraworked with [Sisyphus](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent)
* docs: update model download sizes to match actual downloads
Update whisper.cpp size references from parameter counts to verified download sizes (e.g., tiny: 39MB → 74MB, medium: 769MB → 1.5GB, large: 1.5GB → 3.0GB).
Ultraworked with [Sisyphus](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent)
* docs(web): update model sizes across website pages
Sync whisper.cpp size references on gpu-acceleration, compare, whisper-model-guide, offline, and homepage with corrected download sizes.
