Version 0.19.0 across version.py, the Void template and the synced docs; changelog entry; Gitea project URLs in pyproject.toml; per-backend ladder thresholds measured in #19; the xbps release workflow is manual-only, and packaging/void/publish-release.sh publishes a locally built, verified repository to the Gitea releases.
voculinux now depends on python3-PyAudio and python3-pysocks at the carried versions, so a stock Void package below the project floors is upgraded rather than silently kept. The container smoke installs the stock packages first and asserts the upgrade.
Every release is built from its tag alone by packaging/void/build-release.sh, shared by the tag workflow and local dry runs. Signs in a network-less container with the key mounted read-only and publishes to the tag release and the rolling latest release.
Model recommendation keyed to the installed build and free memory, fork-sourced Void templates, signed xbps release workflow on Gitea with the pinned repository key, niri injection guard and wtype-first order, tightened naming sweep, web copy fixes, and CI security and duplication fixes.
Add build-xbps tag job to release.yml: verifies the tag against
src/vocalinux/version.py, fails closed when XBPS_SIGNING_KEY is unset,
builds and signs via podman-only repo.sh, and attaches packages,
signatures, repodata, and client key files to the release. Fold the
xbps-repo artifact into publish-checksums (manifest + SHA256SUMS).
Document the Void install in the root README (glibc x86_64 scope,
fingerprint check, third-party repo caveat) and the post-tag template
version/checksum bump as a pull request in docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md.
Proof: local podman run with a throwaway RSA4096 key built all four
templates, signed packages + repodata, and verified voculinux installs
from the signed repo in a clean rootdir (fingerprint
eb:29:5d:9e:5c:94:c1:63:ae:35:cd:35:db:7a:28:da).
The fork takes its own name everywhere a user can see it: binaries
(voculinux, voculinux-gui), desktop entry, autostart, tray, D-Bus
namespace (com.voculinux.Voculinux, no alias for the old name),
config/data/cache dirs, single-instance lock, IBus engine identity,
tray icons, resource prefixes, VOCULINUX_* environment names, and the
update-checker user agent. The internal Python module stays vocalinux
and the distribution metadata keeps the upstream URLs as provenance.
On first run a previous Vocalinux install's config.json, custom
dictionary, and portal restore token are copied once into the new
locations (new config always wins, no merge, no write-back); models
re-resolve through the pinned-checksum download path. An offline
naming-sweep test proves no old-name strings remain on user-visible
surfaces outside the allowlist.
Refs #18
Intake at release-preparation sync points plus on-demand critical
fixes, freeze once the release branch opens to release-blockers only,
one upstream fix per fork pull request through the standard gates,
conflicts resolved by keeping upstream logic and re-applying fork
renames, and the qualification rule (fixes and user-instruction docs
port; features re-decided; dependency/CI churn only on a security
advisory). Names the retained internal vocalinux module as the reason
conflicts concentrate at renamed user-visible surfaces.
Tests: tests/test_upstream_intake_policy.py (7 tests)
* fix(snap): build and verify payload from locked python inputs
* docs(snap): document locked inputs and artifact verification
* test(clipboard): isolate restore workers between tests
* test(packaging): tighten isolation and clarify snap audit guarantees
* fix(ci): run snap recipe tests on snap-only changes
A change to snap/snapcraft.yaml or snap/local/smoke-test.sh only matched
the snap filter, so the Python tests that guard the recipe (including the
portable whisper.cpp flags from #957) and the smoke script were skipped.
Match all of snap/ in the python filter, as scripts/ already is.

* fix(aur): gate source publication on attested sdists
Prepare and verify the canonical release source, build the exact PKGBUILD on Arch, and publish the gated artifact without further rewrites. Part of #701.
* fix(aur): isolate local gate and binary publication
Keep local gate distributions and diagnostics in a private workspace, preserving other build outputs and failed diagnostics. Publish vocalinux-bin after its own AppImage inputs without depending on the source gate or unrelated release jobs. Add regression coverage for both review findings.
* feat(build): add locked reproducible wheel gate
Build independently in clean source trees and virtualenvs, compare wheel bytes, and stage only verified canonical distributions. Safely clean recognized prior outputs on repeat runs.
Part of #701
* ci(release): verify wheel reproducibility before publishing
Run the shared gate in PR and tag workflows, preserve failure diagnostics, and keep verification artifacts out of release checksums. Make Snap Store publication wait for the gate and reuse the canonical distributions for PyPI.

* fix(build): isolate release tooling and preserve cleanup retries
Exclude host site-packages from build-only virtualenvs so unlocked setuptools plugins cannot affect verified distributions. Delete staged artifacts before canonical ownership evidence to recover safely from interrupted cleanup.
Add regression tests and document the build-only environment exception.
* fix(release): make reproducible builds retryable and refresh tools
Regenerate release build exports from uv.lock. Hold a checkout lock through cleanup and staging, and atomically rename complete archives into dist. Cover interrupted staging, competing processes, and lock release with regression tests.

* fix(snap): drop uinput plug denied by the Snap Store
The Snap Store rejected revisions 8-10 over the super-privileged uinput
plug (allow-installation), and reviewers denied the grant request on
forum.snapcraft.io/t/53528, pointing at the RemoteDesktop portal path
the app already prefers. Remove the plug and the uinput-only ydotool so
revisions pass automatic review again; Wayland typing continues through
the RemoteDesktop portal (already the default backend ahead of ydotool),
wtype, IBus Wayland on KDE, and clipboard paste.
KDE Plasma loses its correct-case ydotool path on the store snap (KWin's
portal mangles keysyms on some layouts, KDE bug 489021); the v0.18.x
GitHub .snap still declares uinput for KDE users who sideload it.
Co-Authored-By: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix(text-injection): stop telling snap users to connect uinput
The Store snap no longer declares the plug, so the warning pointed at a
command that cannot work. The Snap hints now explain that only the
v0.18.x GitHub sideload declares uinput, and that native Wayland typing
uses the RemoteDesktop portal or IBus Wayland on KDE.

Prepares the v0.18.1 patch release: version bump, changelog and docs sync, native-package and web metadata, and release notes crediting every reporter and PR author.
* feat(packaging): build thin .deb and .rpm with nfpm and attach them to releases
Adds packaging/native: an nfpm config that produces a .deb and an .rpm
from the release wheel. The packages stay thin - Python, GTK, PyGObject
and the typelibs are distro Depends; only pywhispercpp and pynput are
vendored because the first is unpackaged on both distros and the second
is missing on Fedora. The Debian 12 build image and the nfpm download
are pinned in tool_checksums.txt.
just native-packages builds both in the pinned container, and
native-smoke installs the built package per distro: debian:12 and
ubuntu:24.04 exercise the .deb, fedora:42 the .rpm, then each runs
vocalinux --version plus an import smoke of the app and the vendored
extension. unified-pipeline.yml gates on the same three-distro matrix,
and release.yml attaches both arches to the release and covers them in
SHA256SUMS and the provenance manifest.
Refs #600
* fix(packaging): preserve launcher args and document Wayland input group
The launcher joined $* into an unquoted exec, re-splitting file paths
that contain spaces before argparse saw them. Exec "$@" directly and
re-quote each argument for the inner shell of 'sg input -c'.
On Wayland the packages could not grant the 'input' group membership
evdev hotkeys need; name the usermod step and its caveat in INSTALL.md
and the release notes.
* test(packaging): add return types to the native packaging tests

* chore(release): prepare v0.18.0
Bump version surfaces for the v0.18.0 minor release: version.py,
web/package.json + lockfile, softwareVersion schema, SECURITY.md
supported-versions table, AUR pkgver/_tag (source and -bin),
AppStream metainfo release entry, and the release-history table in
RELEASE_PROCESS.md.
Docs and site copy for the delta since v0.17.0: README blurb, snap
sideload versions in README/INSTALL/UPDATE, CHANGELOG current-stable
entry, docs/UPDATE.md What's New with the 0.18 highlights table and
per-PR credits, website changelog + desktop-reliability entries, and
PRODUCT.md capability lines for Dictation Pad, per-language shortcuts,
tray history, overlay, ducking, PipeWire, portal injection, D-Bus
activation, custom dictionary, and file transcription.
* fix(release): address review findings on the v0.18.0 prep
- Keep the checked-in vocalinux-bin PKGBUILD on v0.17.0 so its real
AppImage digests stay consistent with its sources; release.yml bumps
pkgver/_tag and pins both-arch digests atomically at publish
- Qualify the Flatpak release note: PipeWire system-audio capture and
RemoteDesktop portal injection are native-install paths
- Refresh dateModified on the changelog and desktop-reliability pages
- Restore the release-history table order in RELEASE_PROCESS.md
- Revert the build-regenerated web/next-env.d.ts route-types reference

* chore(release): add snap-promote workflow for gated stable releases
Issue #783 option 2 (safer): v* tags keep auto-publishing the snap to
edge + candidate in release.yml, and latest/stable is promoted by a
manual snap-promote.yml dispatch after candidate QA.
The dispatch resolves the revision on latest/candidate and refuses to
promote unless its version matches the tag, so a typo or stale candidate
fails the run instead of shipping the wrong revision. Declaring the
snap-stable environment with required reviewers adds an approval gate
on top of the dispatch.
Fixes#783
* fix(ci): serialize snap promotions and re-verify candidate
awk used the gawk-only \S which mawk reads literally, so the latest-track candidate row never matched. The promote step also trusted a revision resolved minutes earlier, letting an overlapping promotion downgrade stable. Serializes dispatches and re-resolves the candidate right before release.

* feat(flatpak): publish a signed self-hosted OSTree remote on releases (#785)
release.yml gains publish-flatpak-remote: it imports the per-arch
.flatpak bundles into an OSTree repo, signs commits and the summary
with a provisioned GPG key, regenerates static deltas and the
vocahq.flatpakrepo/index page, and pushes to VocaHQ/vocalinux-flatpak
served by GitHub Pages — the Homebrew-tap analogue, so installs
auto-update via flatpak update instead of per-release downloads.
The job is secret-gated like publish-aur (FLATPAK_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY +
FLATPAK_REPO_TOKEN) and skips itself while unconfigured. Prior repo
objects are pulled back in from gh-pages so clients get incremental
deltas. The manifest now declares branch: stable and the flatpakrepo
declares DefaultBranch=stable + RuntimeRepo for the Flathub GNOME
runtime.
Docs: new docs/FLATPAK_REMOTE.md (one-time setup, rotation,
verification); README, docs/INSTALL.md, packaging/flatpak/README.md
and the release notes now lead with the remote and keep release
bundles as the no-auto-update fallback. tests/test_release_integrity.py
pins the job's shape.
Closes#785
* fix(flatpak-remote): publish a .flatpakref and gate the remote to stable tags
- needs build-and-release so the remote cannot lead the GitHub Release
- stable tags only: prereleases must not reach `flatpak update`
- probe gh-pages before the empty-repo fallback: a transient checkout
failure no longer discards remote history
- publish com.vocalinux.Vocalinux.flatpakref (RuntimeRepo lives there, not
on .flatpakrepo) plus vocahq.gpg, so clean installs resolve the GNOME
runtime and key rotation works via remote-modify --gpg-import
- gate the release-notes remote instructions on the publish actually
running; the bundle path stays primary otherwise
- document rotation via remote-modify --gpg-import / remote-delete
--force and the explicit Flathub setup step

* fix(release): attach the snap to GitHub Releases
v0.17.0 packed the snap, then Store review of uinput failed the job, so
the file never reached the tag. Build and attach first. A Store hold is
a warning, not a failed release. SHA256SUMS covers the .snap.
snap-backfill.yml rebuilds an existing tag, appends the snap to the
manifest, and attests only that file.
* fix(release): keep snap tags out of the shell and fail real Store errors
Pass the tag through the environment like verify-release.yml. Treat only
an allow-installation review as a successful Store publish. snap-backfill
runs verify_release.py after it rewrites SHA256SUMS.
* style(test): format snap-backfill shell-injection guard with black
Minor on the stable line. Faster Whisper and Parakeet extras, Speech Model simple setup, Snap uinput, Flatpak bundles on the tag, and QA fixes from the release branch.
Fixes tracked in the PR. Post-release follow-ups: #834.
* 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(ci): verify the published release, not just the workflow
* fix(ci): filter attestations by predicate, name a missing distribution
Two findings from review on #791.
The attestations query accepted any predicate, so an SBOM would have read as
build provenance while `gh attestation verify`, the command the notes hand
users, rejected the artifact. It now sends the same
`predicate_type=https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1`. Checked on a real digest: the
SLSA filter returns the bundle, a foreign predicate returns 404.
check_pypi compared whatever distributions were left, so a release that lost its
sdist passed on the wheel alone. Each expected suffix is now named when absent.
The lazy urllib import moved past the early return, where it belonged.
The other two findings do not hold. `workflow_run.head_branch` carries the tag
for a tag-triggered run: the last four release runs report v0.16.2, v0.16.1,
v0.16.0 and v0.15.0. And `host_env()` is for the app spawning host binaries out
of an AppImage; `scripts/` is in no `packages` entry and the AppImage build
never references it, so this cannot run from a bundle.
* fix(ci): read release digests from the REST API
gh release view --json assets omits digest on gh 2.46, which is what
many distros ship and what just verify-release often runs, so every
asset failed as undigested. Pull the release through gh api instead,
treat a null body as notes FAIL, and prefer removeprefix for the tag.
* fix(ci): fail verify when PyPI has an extra distribution
Matching release digests alone left a differently named wheel or
sdist on PyPI unchecked. Reject those extras too, same suffixes.
* fix(test): clear tempfile mock before urllib import
Other suites leave a MagicMock in sys.modules['tempfile'], which
breaks urllib.request import with a metaclass conflict in the extra
PyPI distribution check. Drop the stub (and stale urllib modules)
first, and assert the full problem list.
* fix(ci): restore real tempfile before urllib in verify test
The MagicMock tempfile left by recognition_manager still broke
urllib.error on CI. Put the real module back and drop cached urllib
packages before the import.

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.
* chore(release): build once, and publish sha256sums and provenance (epic #701, phase 5)
* chore(ci): pin every third-party action by commit sha (epic #701, phase 5)
* test(ci): anchor the dependabot guard on the ecosystem it must cover
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.
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.
* fix(install): leftover review notes from #700 and #705
The scratch dir now holds pip logs and model download temps, so a failed
run has something to inspect. Dep, venv, leftover-process, and pip
failures use exit codes 2/3/4 instead of a blanket 1. --help says the
transcript is written during installation, and the tag hint is
--tag=<release>.
AGENTS.md no longer claims the hash-pinned exports are consumed (they
wait for phases 2/3/5). Docs add a just install line and
vocalinux[vosk] next to the PyPI commands. Settings points at
--engine=whisper. The whisper.cpp fallback installs ".[vosk]".
Fixes leftover review notes from #700 and #705.
Refs #701.
* fix(install): do not let pip build PyGObject from sdist
Fresh --auto --skip-system-deps died on pygobject-3.56.3 even with
distro python3-gi present. Install the other runtime deps from
pyproject.toml, then pip install --no-deps. Extra installs use the
extra's packages only, not pip install ".[extra]".
Fixes leftover review notes from #700 and #705.
Refs #701.
* fix(install): tolerate unset XDG_SESSION_TYPE under set -u
--auto with DISPLAY but no login session died on
XDG_SESSION_TYPE: unbound variable. The session probe now uses
${XDG_SESSION_TYPE:-}, ${WAYLAND_DISPLAY:-}, and ${DISPLAY:-}.
Phases 0-1 of #701. Drops dead deps, moves vosk to an optional extra, adds uv.lock and hash-pinned requirements exports, pins pywhispercpp to 1.5.0.
Closes#705. Refs #701.
Stacked bottom of #701. Replaces Makefile with justfile and hardens install.sh (strict mode, logging, HTTP probes, curl -f on model downloads, no v0.10.1-beta fallback).
Closes#700.
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.
* chore(release): prepare v0.15.0
Bump version across app, web, AUR, and Flatpak metainfo. Document GitHub

Changed install commands to download install.sh directly from the release
tag instead of from main branch with --tag parameter. This ensures:
1. The install script version matches the release being installed
2. No version mismatch between script and code
3. Simpler, cleaner install commands
Changes:
- install.sh: Updated error message to use v0.6.0-beta URL
- README.md: All install commands now use v0.6.0-beta/install.sh
- docs/INSTALL.md: Updated quick install command
- docs/UPDATE.md: Updated update command examples
- docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md: Updated example command
- src/vocalinux/main.py: Updated error message install command
- tests/distro-testing-checklist.md: Updated download URL
- web/src/app/page.tsx: Now uses dynamic tag in URL (not main)
- .github/workflows/release.yml: Release notes use tag-based URL
Before:
curl .../main/install.sh | bash -s -- --tag=v0.6.0-beta
After:
curl .../v0.6.0-beta/install.sh | bash
Fixes version consistency between install script and installed code.
