v0.1.0-alpha.18

English

Preview for macOS Apple silicon (macOS 14 or later) and Windows x64.

• Add Emoji candidates for eligible full-word Pinyin input on macOS and Windows, with Unicode sequence metadata preserved and Windows font-coverage checks.
• Reorganize Settings into Speech & Polish, following recognition, polishing, formatting and context. Formatting and context controls appear while polishing is enabled.
• Separate cloud provider setup from activation: opening a provider page no longer switches the active provider. New connections start with a supported fast model.
• Keep failed API-key connection messages on the provider that failed.
• Share translation prompt and hold-key setup across onboarding and settings.
• Open Settings when Arion is explicitly launched or reopened after onboarding; login-item starts stay in the menu bar or system tray.

macOS release packages require Developer ID signing and Apple notarization. Windows publisher signing remains unavailable for this preview. Model weights download separately. Native Windows notification delivery, clean-machine acceptance, production old-to-new update acceptance and real-service cloud/translation acceptance remain open. GitHub publication and release-storage staging do not publish the Arion center beta channel. See RELEASE-STATUS.md and SHA256SUMS for acceptance limits and verification.

v0.1.0-alpha.16

0.1.0-alpha.16

English

Preview for macOS Apple silicon (macOS 14 or later) and Windows x64.

• Add idle update reminders after dictation, with per-version suppression, Later/Dismiss actions and persistent tray/About entries. System reminders follow OS notification permission. Related: #12.
• Add an opt-in automatic update download setting, separate from automatic checks. Updates download and verify in the background, then wait for a user-requested restart that respects active input and resource work. Related: #13.
• Keep each cloud provider's API key separately when switching providers, and migrate the previously saved active credential. Keys already overwritten by an older version cannot be recovered. Related: #15.
• Add voice translation through the shared local/cloud polishing pipeline, with a dedicated shortcut and English or Simplified Chinese target language. Translation failures retain the recognized original without inserting untranslated text.
• Improve formatter handling of ASR punctuation and false starts, scale its output budget with source length, and apply one explicit thinking-off policy to local and cloud polishing.
• Add account-notice notification transport and local polishing-evaluation tooling; refresh the bundled contributor list.
• Correct native CI fixtures for constrained macOS displays and resolved Windows temporary installation paths, retaining exact window-size and acknowledged-update cleanup checks.

v0.1.0-alpha.13

0.1.0-alpha.13

English

Preview for macOS Apple silicon (macOS 14 or later) and Windows x64.

• Add Windows offline Pinyin and TSF voice input, with shared Rime schemas, candidate ordering and learning logic across macOS and Windows.
• Repair Windows candidate layout refresh after composition changes, input-method registration and model readiness reporting.
• Add a stable Windows input-method loader and versioned cores. Compatible active cores remain usable until safe release; legacy components already loaded in applications may require those applications to fully exit once.
• Enable Windows local GGUF polishing with a bundled CPU runtime and protected worker lifecycle.
• Fix Windows overlay transparency and background worker console windows, and improve the EXE installer and onboarding flow.
• Extend native input-method, package, update and shared-engine regression coverage.

This is an early preview. Windows publisher signing, clean-machine acceptance and broad editor compatibility remain open. Installed owned-editor candidate checks pass; this does not establish seamless upgrades in every already-running application. Model weights download separately. GitHub publication and release-storage staging do not publish the Arion center beta channel. See RELEASE-STATUS.md and SHA256SUMS.

中文

适用于 macOS Apple 芯片（macOS 14 或更高版本）和 Windows x64 的预览版本。

• 新增 Windows 离线拼音和 TSF 语音输入，两端共用 Rime 方案、候选排序和学习逻辑。
• 修复 Windows 组合输入后的候选框布局刷新、输入法注册和模型就绪状态判断。
• 新增固定的 Windows 输入法加载入口与版本化核心。兼容的活动核心可继续使用直到安全释放；已经加载早期旧组件的应用可能需要完全退出一次。
• 支持 Windows 本地 GGUF 润色，随包提供 CPU 运行时并完善工作进程生命周期。
• 修复 Windows 悬浮窗透明度及后台工作进程的控制台窗口，改进 EXE 安装器和首次使用流程。
• 扩展原生输入法、打包、更新和共享引擎回归测试。

这是早期预览版。Windows 发布者签名、全新机器和广泛编辑器兼容性仍待验收。已安装版本在自有测试编辑器的候选框检查通过，但不代表所有运行中应用均可无感升级。模型权重单独下载；GitHub 发布及存储暂存不会自动发布 Arion 中心的 beta 渠道。详见 RELEASE-STATUS.md 与 SHA256SUMS。

v0.1.0-alpha.12

English

Preview for macOS Apple silicon (macOS 14 or later) and Windows x64.

• Include the Windows installer and cryptographically signed update archive in alpha releases. The Windows application and installer do not have an Authenticode publisher signature; Windows security policies may warn or block execution.
• Protect Windows text delivery against stale sessions, cancellation, changed focus/selection and standard password fields; stop remaining input batches when a session loses ownership.
• Repair Windows UI Automation provider initialization and refuse context reads when field safety cannot be established.
• Give Windows accessibility initialization a separate bounded startup phase while preserving the 1.5-second window traversal limit.
• Fix update rollback leaving newly added files or directories behind when another destination is locked.
• Remove the MSVC OpenMP redistributable dependency from the Windows CPU speech worker and reject unbundled runtime DLLs during packaging.
• Reload the same speech runtime for a new request after cancellation times out and retires its process; cancelled requests are never replayed.
• Add Windows native, installed-application speech, microphone and updater regression coverage. Actual CPU/Vulkan recognition and five installed-product speech scenarios pass on the documented development host.

This is an early preview. Mixed-language technical terms still have recognition errors. Windows TSF and local polishing are unsupported. Clean-machine/editor compatibility and a real production-channel old-to-new upgrade remain open. Model weights download separately. GitHub publication and release-storage staging do not publish the Arion center beta channel. See RELEASE-STATUS.md and SHA256SUMS for limits and verification.

• Alpha 发布新增 Windows 安装包及带加密签名的更新归档。Windows 程序和安装包尚无 Authenticode 发布者签名，系统安全策略可能警告或阻止运行。
• 加强 Windows 文本输入保护：拒绝过期会话、取消、焦点或选区变化及标准密码框；会话失去目标所有权时停止后续输入批次。
• 修复 Windows UI Automation 提供程序初始化，并在无法确认字段安全时拒绝读取上下文。
• 为 Windows 辅助功能初始化设置独立、有界的启动阶段，同时保留 1.5 秒的窗口遍历限制。
• 修复更新过程中目标文件被锁定时，回滚遗留新增文件或目录的问题。
• 移除 Windows CPU 语音运行时对 MSVC OpenMP 可再发行库的依赖，并在打包时检查未随包提供的运行库 DLL。
• 修复取消超时回收语音进程后无法继续识别的问题：新请求重新加载同一运行时，已取消请求不会重放。
• 新增原生交互、安装后语音、麦克风及更新回归测试；CPU/Vulkan 真实识别与五项安装后语音场景已在记录的开发机通过。

这是早期预览版。中英混合技术词仍有识别错误；Windows TSF 和本地润色尚不支持。全新机器、第三方编辑器兼容性及生产渠道旧版本升级仍待验收。模型权重需单独下载。GitHub 发布及存储暂存不会自动发布 Arion 中心的 beta 渠道。验证限制和校验值见 RELEASE-STATUS.md 与 SHA256SUMS。

v0.1.0-alpha.11

English

macOS Apple silicon (ARM64) preview, requiring macOS 14 or later.

• Update the local polishing cleanup prompt, preserving separate scene and language rules and isolating source text from context.
• Add polishing punctuation choices: smart, full, omit sentence-final punctuation, or spaces instead of punctuation. Apply the selected mode to live previews and final text.
• Validate raw polishing output before punctuation conversion so control markers cannot be hidden. Reject conversions that leave only whitespace and keep rejected output out of the preview cache.

This is an early preview. Clean-machine installation, real-service cloud sign-in/provider requests, minimum OS/RAM and old-to-new updates still need acceptance. Recognition stays local and works offline after model provisioning; model weights are downloaded separately. Desktop encrypted sync enrollment remains pending. This alpha includes only the macOS ARM64 installer.

See RELEASE-STATUS.md for evidence and limitations, and SHA256SUMS for file verification. GitHub publication and COS staging do not publish the Arion center beta channel.

• 更新本地润色的整理提示词，保留按场景和语言划分的规则，并隔离原文与上下文。
• 新增润色标点选项：智能标点、完整标点、省略句末标点、以空格代替标点；所选模式同时应用于实时预览和最终文本。
• 在标点转换前校验润色原始输出，避免控制标记被转换隐藏；拒绝转换后仅剩空白的结果，并防止被拒绝的输出进入预览缓存。

这是早期预览版。全新机器安装、真实云端登录及服务商请求、最低系统和内存要求、旧版本升级仍待验收。语音识别在本机完成，模型准备完成后可离线使用；模型权重需单独下载。桌面加密同步的设备注册尚未完成。本次 alpha 仅提供 macOS ARM64 安装包。

macOS Apple silicon (ARM64) preview, requiring macOS 14 or later.

• The dictation pill starts as wide as the finishing hint and widens with the draft in steps, up to a maximum. It does not narrow during a session, so a shorter revision leaves the width alone. Short replies stay a short pill.
• Settings > Keyboard > Highlight color offers yellow (the default), orange, red, pink, purple, blue, green, graphite, and a custom color. The candidate bar fills the selection with that color and uses white or dark text for contrast.

This is an early preview. Clean-machine installation, real-service cloud sign-in/provider requests, minimum OS/RAM and old-to-new updates still need acceptance. Recognition stays local and works offline after model provisioning; model weights are downloaded separately. Desktop encrypted sync enrollment remains pending.
