* fix(whisper): use bundled GPU libs and skip software Vulkan devices
AppImage 0.15.0 shipped a CPU-only pywhispercpp wheel, so the Settings
GPU picker and host vulkaninfo never moved inference off the CPU. Rebuild
pywhispercpp with Vulkan in the AppImage, log the libraries that actually
load, skip llvmpipe in auto-select, and document how to verify.
Fixes#604
* fix(appimage): pin gcc/g++ for Vulkan pywhispercpp rebuild
Hosts that default cc/c++ to clang fail CMAKE's C++ test because clang
does not search gcc's libstdc++ path. Default the rebuild to gcc/g++.
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.
* fix(appimage): ship transitive GI typelibs for non-Debian hosts
The 0.15.0 AppImage pruned girepository down to a partial allowlist and
dropped xlib/Dbusmenu/GModule. On Ubuntu the missing typelibs fell back
to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/girepository-1.0; on openSUSE/Fedora that
path does not exist, so Gtk failed to import and startup reported
missing GTK3/AppIndicator (#585).
Keep linuxdeploy's typelib extras, seed the full transitive set, bundle
AppIndicator/Notify shared libs, and smoke-test GI imports with host
typelibs hidden.

* fix(ci): avoid libappindicator/ayatana apt conflict
Ubuntu packages libappindicator3-1 and libayatana-appindicator3-1
conflict. Rely on gir1.2-* to pull a single implementation and keep
libdbusmenu/libnotify explicit for bundling.

* fix(ci): install gir1.2-dbusmenu-glib for AppImage typelib seed
Dbusmenu-0.4 is a required transitive typelib for AppIndicator; without
the GIR package the build fails the required-typelib check.

* fix(appimage): require only one AppIndicator typelib variant
Runtime accepts AppIndicator3 or AyatanaAppIndicator3. Treat them as
alternates in the AppImage typelib check so single-stack build hosts
do not fail require_all.

* fix(appimage): prefer Ayatana after rebase onto main
Align AppImage typelib seeding and GI smoke order with main's
Ayatana-first tray preference from #621/#638.

* fix(appimage): accept lowercase AyatanaAppindicator3 typelib
Match tray_indicator.py's three-step fallback so AppImage builds and
GI smoke succeed on hosts that only ship AyatanaAppindicator3-0.1.

* fix(main): accept lowercase AyatanaAppindicator3 in dep check
Align check_dependencies with tray_indicator.py and the AppImage GI
smoke path so a lowercase-only typelib host does not fail at startup.

Fix ESLint errors for hash install links, anonymous default-export

static export. Correct softwareVersion sync to match unquoted JS keys,

* 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(packaging): add self-contained AppImage build
Bundles the wheel plus PyGObject/GTK3/AppIndicator/IBus typelibs into a
relocatable x86_64 AppImage via linuxdeploy + linuxdeploy-plugin-gtk, so
users get a zero-install, no-sandbox-negotiation alternative alongside
AUR/PyPI. Wired into nightly and tagged releases, plus a smoke-test job
in the PR pipeline since AppImage/ELF bundling can't be verified on a
macOS dev machine.
* feat(packaging): add aarch64 AppImage builds
Parameterizes build.sh on uname -m instead of hardcoding x86_64 (both
linuxdeploy and appimagetool publish aarch64 continuous builds, and
pywhispercpp ships manylinux_aarch64 wheels, so no from-source compile
needed). Adds an arch matrix to the PR smoke-test job, and a second
job in nightly.yml/release.yml that builds on GitHub's free
ubuntu-24.04-arm hosted runner and attaches the aarch64 AppImage to
the same release the x86_64 job already created.
* chore: bump minimum Python from 3.8 to 3.9 and adopt PEP 585 builtins
- Update requires-python, classifiers, mypy target, and black target in pyproject.toml
- Replace Python 3.8 with 3.9 in CI matrix and nightly workflow
- Replace typing.List/Dict/Tuple/Set with builtin list/dict/tuple/set (PEP 585)
- Update all 3.8 version references in README, docs, website, and install.sh
- Fix test_wayland_no_tools to mock IBus availability
- Remove List from common_types re-exports and update test
* style: reformat test files for Black 26.x and pin version in CI
Black 26.x introduced parenthesized context manager formatting.
Reformat 7 test files and pin Black>=26,<27 in CI to prevent
future drift from unpinned version upgrades.
The nightly workflow fails when re-running on the same day because
after deleting the remote tag, the local tag still exists in the
runner's checkout. GitHub CLI sees this local tag and expects it
to be pushed to remote.
This fix adds 'git tag -d' to delete local tags in both the
cleanup and create release steps, ensuring clean state before
creating new releases.
The previous cleanup logic sorted releases by column 3 which contained
relative dates like '3 days ago' as text. This doesn't work reliably
for sorting because '3 days ago' and '4 days ago' are compared as
strings, not dates.
This fix:
- Uses gh release list --json to get actual ISO 8601 creation timestamps
- Calculates a proper cutoff date (3 days ago in seconds since epoch)
- Parses and compares actual timestamps
- Only deletes releases that are truly older than 3 days
Fixes the nightly build retention policy.
The sed pattern didn't correctly match tar.gz files which don't have
a dash after the version number. Fixed by explicitly handling both
.whl and .tar.gz file extensions with proper naming patterns.
Fixes the error: 'mv: source and destination are the same file'
The nightly build workflow was not creating accessible releases for users.
This fix addresses several issues:
- Add write permissions (contents: read → contents: write) to create GitHub releases
- Create a persistent 'nightly' pre-release that users can easily find and download
- Add workflow_dispatch trigger for manual testing
- Improve version naming: {base_version}.dev{date}+{short_sha}
- Extend artifact retention from 7 to 30 days
- Add clear installation instructions in release notes
Users can now access nightly builds at:
https://github.com/jatinkrmalik/vocalinux/releases/tag/nightlyFixes#186
- Adds scheduled daily builds at 2 AM UTC
- Builds Python packages and uploads as artifacts
- 7-day retention to keep storage minimal
- No release tab pollution - artifacts only
