v0.4.0

Cassini is now called Cassini talk. Your Library stays in Music/Cassini.

• Recording starts reliably when the computer is silent: the other people's
  side waits for the first sound instead of failing the start
• When a microphone or the computer's sound cannot open, Cassini says why and
  keeps recording what did open; if nothing opened, no empty meeting is left
  behind. Quit no longer waits for a microphone that never delivers audio
• Silent sources are saved as exact silence, so writing down and speaker
  separation skip them instead of reading noise
• Every part of Cassini places each track at the same start, so playback,
  transcripts and speakers line up; words stay inside the time a person was
  present, and a turn never spans a gap. Cassini for Mac passes the same check
• Browser meetings: set up the companion from Cassini, connect in the
  background, keep recording through page reloads, record automatically only
  once a call has really started, and record with no window open. Browser and
  computer audio share one clock, even when the system clock is adjusted
  during a meeting. The companion is now version 0.2.13: a long silent stretch
  no longer slows a browser recording's clock
• GNOME and Mac pass the same end-to-end tests: a recording followed live
  while it is in progress (shared test 2), and the same three outcome files
  (shared test 8)
• While recording: a live spectrogram for each side, Recording details that
  show what is being captured, a warning when muted output would silence the
  computer's sound, and a test recording to check your setup
• Library: move meetings to Trash with five seconds to undo, rename with F2,
  and keep each saved meeting as a portable Cassini file
• Writing down shows its progress before the first words, reads a track again
  without voice detection when it finds too few words there, and names the app
  version when it downloads models
• Translated into Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal)
• Many capture fixes: interrupted and re-anchored inputs, frozen browser
  connections, and a live spectrum that no longer stops after the window
  stalls
