4.2

New Features

• The custom pitch/effect dropdown menu has been replaced with a search bar to speed up finding the right options for larger custom data files
• Hotkeys for common tasks on the record page have been introduced
• Option to reinstall ffmpeg in settings (also technically works as an ffmpeg updater)
• New button in record page to switch between viewing the original and replaced audio

Changes

• Replace gyan.dev ffmpeg full build with gyan.dev ffmpeg essentials build (~60mb file size reduction)
• Introduce Release channels (Will be covered in its own section)
• Update icon for release logs page (now called "What's new") and move to bottom of the navigation tab
• Update credits tab in the settings page to include all project dependencies
• General performance improvements

Fixes

• Fix subdirectories of subdirectories not working properly with the app
• Fix issue where the extra data folder would not be created if not present
• Fix wrong icon being shown for theme selection in the setup window
• Fix no app icon being shown in alt+tab and win+tab view
• Fix issue where app would crash if no audio files are present in a project folder
• Remove debug file for a project dependency that was inflating app size by ~60mb
• Improve file searching speed in larger projects

Release Channels

Whisper.net's cuda runtime is over 300mb in size, which inflates the app size to beyond unreasonable for most users. for that reason, I have created two release "channels": "stable" and "stable-nvidia". Users who have Nvidia GPUs and want to take advantage of faster speech to text processing should download the Nvidia installer file from this release. Automatic updates should download from your respective channel.

What's Next

The next release (version 4.3) will be a optimization patch aimed at removing as many unneeded dependencies as possible, as well as generally making the app at least slightly better to use (Although there probably will be a few new features in the update regardless)
