Changelog

All notable changes to Voicey direct distribution releases are documented here.

[1.6.0] - 2026-05-27

Highlights

• Rust multiprocess runtime ships in release bundles: voicey-capture, voicey-fetch, and voicey-supervisor are built in release mode, bundled under Voicey.app/Contents/MacOS/, and codesigned for notarization.
• Qwen-only user-facing models with on-device MLX inference via the infer worker.
• Screen context & glossary steering for Qwen (Accessibility harvest, optional OCR fallback, custom vocabulary).
• Liquid-glass transcription overlay with waveform progress during decode.
• Long dictation improvements: token budget, chunking, and aligned capture limits (~10 minutes per take).

Added

• Rust workers on the default hot path (capture, fetch, supervisor) when binaries are present in the bundle.
• Qwen transcription glossary and BM25 screen-term context before decode.
• Waveform envelope UI during Qwen transcription.
• Linux Rust CI for the workspace.
• macOS dev restart skill and scripts/voicey_restart.sh.

Fixed

• Intermittent auto-paste inserting stale clipboard content.
• Settings hotkey recorder crash.
• Custom vocabulary editor placeholder alignment.
• Overlay waveform color and glass halo styling.

Changed

• Media pause uses JXA/Now Playing only (Perl MediaRemote adapter removed).
• Release bundle-direct includes release-profile Rust workers (see PR #52).
