v0.2.0
What's new
- Test my mic: a live A/B window with your raw mic and the cleaned output side by side as scrolling spectrograms, plus a 10-second record/replay with measured background-noise and voice-retention numbers. (No display for it? An audio-only record-and-playback test runs instead.)
- Desktop notifications when something fails, so a broken install or a mic that won't come back tells you on screen, not just in a terminal.
- Branded tray icons with live status (active / off / error), an About window, and
hushmic --version.
Fixes
- Installing on immutable / ostree distros (Bazzite, Silverblue, Kinoite, SteamOS) now fails fast with real options instead of a cryptic read-only error (#2).
- Hardening found in cross-distro testing: no crash on
hushmic --version | head,--enable-oncewaits for the mic to actually register, crash-safe config and autostart writes, and the tray no longer loses the autostart race on Cinnamon.
Compatibility — x86-64, glibc 2.35+ (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, and newer). Tested this release on Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Linux Mint 22.1, Fedora Kinoite, and Arch.
Upgrading — re-download the AppImage, apt install the new .deb, or re-run the install script; your ~/.config/hushmic settings are kept.
Verify — each artifact's SHA-256 is in sha256sums.txt below; the install script checks it automatically.
