First beta of the 0.7 line. A UI polish pass (design tokens,
widget library, feedback states, start-screen redesign), a crash
handler, and a Windows installer.

Install

Windows 10 / 11, 64-bit.

  1. Download CapRust-0.7.0-beta.1-win64-setup.exe below.
  2. Run the wizard. Per-user install by default (no UAC prompt);
    pick "Install for all users" if you prefer Program Files.
  3. Launch from the Start Menu.

On first run CapRust offers to download a static FFmpeg build
(~110 MB) if ffmpeg / ffprobe are not on your PATH.

Highlights

  • UI polish - design tokens, widget library, loading spinner,
    status banners, error toasts, and a redesigned start screen with
    a sidebar, New Project modal, and a grid of recent projects with
    cached thumbnails.
  • Crash handler - every uncaught panic writes a report with a
    full backtrace to %APPDATA%\CapRust\crashes\.
  • Windows installer - single .exe wizard, per-user by default,
    8 MB compressed download.

See CHANGELOG.md for the full list.

Requirements

  • Windows 10 1809 or later (x64)
  • ~150 MB free disk space, plus ~110 MB for FFmpeg and more for AI
    models if you want auto-captions or narration.

Known issues

  • Binary size is 22.3 MB (target was 20). Size optimization will
    land in beta.2.
  • Auto-update check is manual (no silent background updater yet).
  • Without code signing, Windows SmartScreen may show a warning;
    click "More info" then "Run anyway".
