Current stable
v0.18.2 (2026-10-12)
Patch on the stable line: the dictation overlay orb now pulses and ripples with live mic level, Nix users get a flake package with NixOS and Home Manager modules plus Vulkan GPU inference for whisper.cpp, held keyboards are left ungrabbed at startup so typing during launch cannot strand a key, the bundled engine no longer crashes on older CPUs, and the piped installer keeps working when it needs to prompt you.
See docs/UPDATE.md for the highlight table, or the GitHub Release.
v0.18.1 (2026-10-08)
Patch on the stable line: a Settings Proxy page for model downloads and update checks behind SOCKS5/HTTP proxies, opt-in JSONL transcript persistence so a failed injection no longer loses the text, .deb and .rpm release packages for Debian and Fedora, a slimmer tray menu (Start on Login and About now live only in Settings), and reliability fixes for the Dictation Pad on Wayland, evdev keyboard discovery, KDE Plasma 6 letter case, a dead Initial Prompt field in Settings, save dialogs that could double the .txt extension, and a Speech Model picker that stages changes until you confirm the download.
See docs/UPDATE.md for the highlight table, or the GitHub Release.
