v0.2.3
ef33698

Everything from 0.2.2 (music + cellular calls over Bluetooth, unattended reconnect, the ~5 s fast
reconnect probe) plus a set of tray affordances.

New in this build

  • Connect Now — a manual, one-shot reconnect that overrides a deliberate Disconnect or a
    switched-off "Reconnect automatically", without changing that setting.
  • Diagnostics submenu:
    • Open Logs — opens the log folder.
    • Copy Diagnostics — a paste-ready snapshot (version, OS, connection state, recent log lines) to
      the clipboard, for bug reports. Review it before sharing.
    • Check for Updates — compares the running version against the latest GitHub release.
    • About — version and a link to the project.
  • The tray menu is reordered so Connect Now / Disconnect sit above the Calls / Reconnect toggles.
  • A Troubleshooting section in the README.

Known limitations (unchanged)

  • Windows 10 (19041+) only. Not Windows 11 — call registration is blocked there for sideloaded apps.
  • Outgoing call audio can be narrowband depending on your Bluetooth stack (driver, not the app).
  • No in-app call-output picker; call audio follows the Windows default communications device.
  • The in-call keypad (DTMF) does not work — that window is Windows' own call UI, and DTMF is not
    reachable from a Win10 app. Use a phone for phone trees.

Prerelease (0.x). Requires the one-time certificate-trust step below.

Install

Klangbruecke is a sideloaded MSIX signed with a self-signed certificate, so Windows will not install
it until that certificate is trusted. There is no "install anyway" prompt for MSIX - this step is
required, and it is a one-time thing per machine.

1. Trust the certificate (one time, from an elevated PowerShell):

Import-Certificate -FilePath .\Klangbruecke.cer -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\TrustedPeople

2. Install (or upgrade) the app - from Windows PowerShell, not PowerShell 7 (the Appx module
does not load in pwsh):

Add-AppxPackage -Path .\Klangbruecke-0.2.3.msix

Klangbruecke then starts automatically and lives in the system tray. Windows 10 build 19041 or later
is required. See the README for what it does and
how to test music and calls.
