Slumbr 1.1.0

Slumbr 1.1.0 — a post-launch tune-up driven by community feedback: smarter history, an opt-in to keep it across restarts, an accuracy tier for strong GPUs, and real CI behind the scenes.

Highlights

• History is now a rolling window of your latest 200. Past the cap it drops the oldest entry instead of wiping the whole list — your recent dictations are always there.
• Opt-in: keep history across restarts. Settings → History → Keep history across restarts saves transcripts to a local file so they survive a reboot. Off by default — the privacy-first, in-memory behavior stays the default, and turning it back off deletes the file.
• Full large-v3 accuracy tier on high-VRAM NVIDIA GPUs (≥10 GB). The most accurate Whisper model, offered as the top Engine pick where it still runs in ~1 s. Mid-range cards keep the fast large-v3-turbo default.

Under the hood

• Loosened dependency pins so installs-from-source don't fight the resolver on routine updates.
• Added a Windows CI workflow that runs the test suite on Python 3.10 / 3.11 / 3.12 on every change.
• Docs: a "Why Slumbr?" comparison, a vocabulary-hint explainer, transcription-failure behavior, and a clearer note that the optional reverse-PTT (VB-Cable) is the only part that needs admin.

Install

Slumbr is open-source and not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may flag it on first run. Click More info → Run anyway. (Signing is on the way.)
