Quill Radio 2.1.2 is a fast-follow that fixes three reported issues -- two of them from 2.1.1 itself. Thank you for the fast, specific reports.

Fixes

  • "Install and restart" works again (#1183). One-click updating failed with a "decompression bomb" error and sent you off to update by hand. The update installer's safety guard against oversized archives was sized for documents (512 MB), but a whole Quill Radio -- Python, ffmpeg, and the mpv engine, all bundled -- legitimately unpacks past that, so the guard was turning away the real update. It now allows a full app-sized download (it only ever runs on Quill's own verified release, and still rejects a genuinely abnormal archive), so Install and restart applies the update and relaunches, keeping your favorites, recordings, and settings.
  • Favorites keep the order you gave them (#1168, #1178). After updating, a hand-sorted favorites list could snap into A-Z on the next launch. The sort-order setting added in 2.0.2 was reading an older, orderless favorites file as "Ascending." Quill Radio now reads a pre-2.0.2 file as Unsorted, so your order carries across the upgrade. And if an earlier update already rearranged you, your original order is still there underneath -- choose Unsorted in Preferences (Ctrl+,) and it comes right back.
  • A shared Speech Hub crash is fixed and regression-locked. Opening Dictation (Offline) in the Speech Hub could crash on an older build; it was already fixed, and now has a test standing guard so it cannot return.

Also: the user guide now clarifies that Play/Stop holds your place only on the mpv playback engine (the default) -- on the classic Windows Media engine, resuming rejoins live.

Install

Two flavors, both fully bundled (ffmpeg and the mpv engine included; nothing downloads at runtime):

  • Installer: Quill-Radio-Setup-2.1.2.exe
  • Portable: Quill-Radio-Portable-2.1.2.zip -- extract anywhere and run QuillRadio\QuillRadio.exe.

Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run (not code-signed); choose "More info" -> "Run anyway".
