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 --------- Co-authored-by: Jatin K Malik <jatinkrmalik@gmail.com>
