## Current stable
|
|
|
|
**[v0.18.4](https://github.com/VocaHQ/vocalinux/releases/tag/v0.18.4)** (2026-10-21)
|
|
|
|
Patch on the stable line: long push-to-talk dictations are queued in segments instead of being cut off at the buffer cap, Settings never downloads or switches a model without an explicit confirmation and a cancelled download stays cancelled, Test Dictation keeps its own result while the Dictation Pad is open, the GPU picker follows ggml's device list and CPU runs use most of your cores, the recording hotkey cancels a transcription in progress, the Flatpak bundles onnxruntime for Silero VAD and uses the X11 listener on X11 sessions, Wayland injection fixes cover the RemoteDesktop portal, XWayland apps outside IBus and the first recording after launch, Parakeet installs work again, update checks can be turned off, and Slovenian is a supported language.

|
**[v0.18.3](https://github.com/VocaHQ/vocalinux/releases/tag/v0.18.3)** (2026-10-17)
|
|
|
|
Patch on the stable line: "new line" and "new paragraph" voice commands now insert real line breaks standalone and mid-utterance, hotkeys work again on GNOME Shell X11 and quitting no longer collapses multi-layout keyboards, every packaged channel builds the bundled engine at the portable x86-64 baseline so older CPUs stop crashing, the Snap package drops the `uinput` plug the Store denied so revisions publish again, the Flatpak remote publish warns loudly instead of skipping silently, and Transcribe File's modal download dialog releases its grab so the transcript's buttons are clickable.

**[v0.18.2](https://github.com/VocaHQ/vocalinux/releases/tag/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.

**[v0.18.1](https://github.com/VocaHQ/vocalinux/releases/tag/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.
