⚠️ This release has known issues and is superseded by v7.11.0. Windows builds may crash due to Vulkan/whisper-rs issues. Please use v7.11.0 instead.

This release upgrades our local transcription engine, adds new capabilities for Whisper C++, and overhauls our update and API Key management experience.

transcribe-rs 0.1.5 Upgrade

We've upgraded transcribe-rs from 0.1.0 to 0.1.5, which brings whisper-rs 0.15.1 under the hood (previously 0.13.2). This upgrade includes upstream improvements to whisper.cpp that should help with stability on various CPU configurations.

If you were experiencing crashes on Linux or Windows with Whisper C++, please try this release and let us know if the issue persists.

Huge thanks to @cjpais for maintaining transcribe-rs! We are a proud sponsor for their work 🫶

Other Improvements

• System Prompt for Whisper C++: You can now use the System Prompt field with local transcription to provide context and improve accuracy
• Update dialog: Now renders release notes with proper markdown formatting
• API keys page: Reorganized with tabs to filter between transcription and transformation services
• CORS fix: Custom transformation endpoints on desktop now properly bypass CORS restrictions (thanks @thurstonsand!)
