v0.6.1

TypeWhisper v0.6.1

TypeWhisper 0.6.1 is a focused stability release that tightens dictation behavior, file transcription model selection, provider state handling, and release packaging.

Improvements

• Improved provider and model state handling so the app is less likely to lose the selected configuration while switching between engines and prompts.
• Refined the bundled Groq integration with better LLM model selection and refresh behavior.

Fixes

• Fixed recorder-compatible hotkey parsing so captured shortcuts round-trip correctly through the UI and runtime hotkey pipeline.
• Fixed file transcription to load the model the user actually selected instead of falling back unexpectedly.
• Fixed the silent-stop overlay reset path and closed a streaming session leak that could leave overlay state behind after recording ended.

Release Prep

• Hardened the release workflow so app tags prefer curated notes from docs/releases/ and fall back to commit-generated notes only when no curated file exists.
• Scoped previous-tag lookup to app tags only, preventing plugin tags from polluting app release note ranges.
• Prepared the Windows release metadata for 0.6.1, including CLI version reporting and Groq plugin metadata alignment for plugin-groq-v1.0.2.

What's New in v0.5.0

Major Architecture Change

• Replaced SQLite with JSON file storage — All data (history, dictionary, snippets, profiles, prompts) is now stored as simple JSON files. No more database migrations. Faster startup, easier debugging, and human-readable data files.
• Removed Microsoft.Data.Sqlite dependency — Smaller application footprint.

New Features

• Error Log — Structured error logging with categories (transcription, recording, prompt, plugin). View errors and export diagnostics in Settings → About.
• App-aware Formatting — Transcribed text is automatically formatted based on the target app: Markdown for Obsidian/Notion, HTML for Outlook, plain for code editors.
• Audio History — Recordings are now saved as WAV files alongside transcription history. Play back past recordings directly from the history view.
• Watch Folder — Monitor a folder for audio files and automatically transcribe them with sidecar .txt output.
• Memory Service — Automatically extract lasting personal facts from transcriptions using LLM. Stored via memory storage plugins.
• Spoken Feedback — Text-to-speech readback of transcribed text after each dictation (Settings → Advanced).
• Accessibility Announcements — Screen reader support via UI Automation live region events for Narrator, NVDA, and JAWS.
• System Audio Capture — WASAPI loopback capture for recording system audio output.
• CLI Tool — typewhisper command-line tool with status, models, and transcribe commands.
• License & Supporter Tiers — Polar.sh license activation with Bronze/Silver/Gold supporter badges.
• Release Channels — Stable, Release Candidate, and Daily update channels.
• Audio Recorder — Standalone recording feature in Settings → Recorder with auto-transcription and recording history.

UI Improvements

• Redesigned Settings Sidebar — Restructured to match Mac app: Home, General, Recording, Models, Recorder, History, Dictionary, Snippets, Profiles, Prompts, Integrations, Advanced, License, About.
• Dashboard Enhancements — Trend indicators (↑↓%) on all stat cards, "All Time" period option, recent transcriptions section.
• Overlay Redesign — Centered text layout, subtle border, larger font, more padding. Matches the new preview in Settings.
• Overlay Preview — Live preview in General settings showing actual widgets, updates in real-time when changing widget selections.
• Marketplace Grouping — Plugins are now grouped by category (Transcription Engines, LLM Providers, Memory, Actions, Utilities) with count badges.
