Whispering v7.1.1

v7.1.1 - Reworking Paste Functionality

This release resolves a bug where paste functionality was slow, unreliable, or broken, as reported in issues like #472. The paste mechanism has been reworked to simulate a native Command/Control + V keystroke instead of relying on the previous enigo.text function. Please note that this presumes a QWERTY keyboard layout (please create a new issue if you are using another keyboard layout and it doesn't work)!

This provides a significantly more reliable pasting experience. Thank you to @shanelindsay for implementing this fix in #509.

Assets

This release contains the large media files and binary assets required by the Whispering project.

We store these assets separately from our main source code repository to keep the primary codebase lightweight.

This makes it fast to clone, preventing the Git history from being bloated by large binary files.

Note: This is a hack for asset storage. It is not a release.

Whispering v7.0.1: Fix Window Closing Issue

• fix: remove close-to-tray feature (v7.0.1) by @braden-w in #551
• fix: use correct toast ID for transformation completion by @braden-w in #552

Whispering v7.0.0

Whispering v7.0.0 represents the biggest rewrite in the project's entire history. We completely rewrote the application's query layer, service architecture, and UI foundations.

Impact by the Numbers:

• 507 files changed
• 26,422 lines added, 35,536 lines removed
• Net reduction of 9,114 lines through better code organization

This is a comprehensive architectural overhaul that enhances everything. The UI responds more quickly to your actions. Errors are clearer and recover automatically. The new visual shortcut recorder displays your key combinations in real-time. And with support for local transcription through Speaches, you can now use Whispering completely offline without any API keys.

But honestly, what you'll notice most is just how much smoother everything feels. The app responds the way you'd expect it to, without the weird delays or quirks from v6.
