Draft to Take v3.0.0 beta 19

Draft to Take beta 19 is the current public beta.

Recommended Windows path:

1. Download DraftToTake-Docker-Launcher-v3.0.0-beta.19.zip from the assets below.
2. Extract it somewhere simple, such as C:\DraftToTakeBeta.
3. Start Docker Desktop.
4. Run start.bat.

Docker image tag:

• v3.0.0-beta.19

What changed:

• Updates the public launcher to fresh beta 19 Docker images for backend, frontend, script-LLM, OmniVoice, and SFX/music.
• Adds the latest Script Canvas and timeline editing work, including timeline undo/history groundwork and safer clip controls.
• Improves voice-role assignment, Script Canvas documentation, and generated-script guidance.
• Keeps Docker disk cleanup guidance visible for users whose Docker Desktop WSL disk does not shrink immediately.
• Refreshes repo/docs organization while keeping this public repo limited to launcher, docs, samples, and release assets.

Experimental native installer:

• DraftToTake-Native-Setup-v3.0.0-beta.19.exe is included for users who want to test the dockerless Windows path.
• The installer is unsigned during beta, so Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run.
• NVIDIA GPU is strongly recommended.
• Model files are not bundled in the setup exe; they download into %USERPROFILE%\DraftToTake\shared.
• Docker remains the recommended public beta path while native installer feedback is still being gathered.

Draft to Take v3.0.0 beta 18

Draft to Take beta 18 is the current public Docker beta.

Recommended Windows path:

• Download DraftToTake-Docker-Launcher-v3.0.0-beta.18.zip from the assets below.
• Extract it somewhere simple, for example C:\DraftToTake.
• Start Docker Desktop.
• Run start.bat.

What changed:

• Adds cleanup-docker-space.bat for removing old Draft to Take beta image tags and dangling Docker layers without deleting %USERPROFILE%\DraftToTake\shared.
• Improves the launcher helpers with safer .env checks and clearer repair/open/stop behavior.
• Binds Docker services to 127.0.0.1 by default instead of exposing them on the local network.
• Hardens backend file-path handling for local audio processing and timeline export paths.
• Refreshes all public GHCR Docker images as v3.0.0-beta.18 and beta-latest.

Docker space note:

If a previous update appeared to take a lot of disk space, run cleanup-docker-space.bat after confirming beta 18 starts. Docker can keep old image layers from earlier beta tags, and this helper is meant to tidy Draft to Take images without touching projects, voices, models, or generated audio in the shared folder.

Installer note:

The native Windows installer remains experimental while Docker is still the recommended public path. The current launcher ZIP is the safest beta 18 update route.

• Fixes extended ambience/music/clip durations so preview/export can grow with the edited timeline.
• Adds better timeline gap tools, move-later-clips controls, and a floating selected-line editor option.
• Adds clearer loading states for emotion detection and prepared voice loading.

• Keeps the beta 15 Docker repair path for partial/corrupt pulls that can show exec format error or input/output error.
• Improves Script Canvas onboarding around prepared voices and the Voice Workbench.
• Improves timeline/source editor resizing, timeline clip selection/playback, voice preview loading feedback, and dark-mode readability.

Notes:

• Docker Desktop with WSL2 is required for this launcher path.
• NVIDIA GPU support is strongly recommended.
• SFX/music starts automatically when Docker GPU support is available; set INDTEXTS_SFX_ENABLED=false in .env if you want dialogue-only startup.
