Whisper Desktop v1.0.1

Release Notes (v1.0.1)

Whisper Desktop v1.0.1 focuses on major Linux compatibility fixes, specifically addressing graphics, sandboxing, and library dependency conflicts when running the AppImage bundle on various distributions.

🚀 What's New & Fixed

🐛 Linux & AppImage Compatibility Fixes

• Resolved Graphics Initialization Crash (EGL_BAD_PARAMETER): Switched to a post-build purging script that extracts the generated AppImage and purges conflicting system graphics/Wayland libraries (libEGL, libGL, libgbm, libglapi, libwayland-client). This forces the WebKit webview to use the host's native GPU drivers.
• Fixed WebKit subprocess ICU Crashes (libicudata.so.74 not found): Enabled bundling of system ICU v74 libraries inside the AppImage target and dynamically configured LD_LIBRARY_PATH inside the backend entrypoint to resolve them at runtime.
• Eliminated GLIBC Mismatches (GLIBC_PRIVATE symbol errors): Reverted from the experimental truly-portable Tauri CLI to the standard stable Tauri CLI compiler, ensuring system base libraries (libc.so.6) are loaded from the host OS.
• Disabled WebKit Sandboxing inside AppImage: Programmatically set WEBKIT_DISABLE_SANDBOX=1 inside main.rs when executed as an AppImage to allow helper processes (WebKitNetworkProcess / WebKitWebProcess) to spawn successfully.
• CI/CD Pipeline Robustness: Updated the release runner to resolve FUSE permissions on virtualized environments by extracting appimagetool and running it in a FUSE-free mode. Wrapped path variables in double quotes to prevent spacing errors during packaging.

📚 Documentation & Packaging

• Updated README.md with instructions on installing Whisper Desktop directly on Arch Linux via the AUR package (paru -S whisper-desktop-bin).
