v1.33.0

v1.33.0

Added

• Added keyboard_hotplug, enabled by default, so keyboards connected after startup can be attached automatically without restarting the service.
• Added support for using PulseAudio/PipeWire source names from pactl list short sources in audio_device_id and audio_device_name.

Fixed

• Fixed audio device selection when configs use PulseAudio/PipeWire source names instead of PortAudio device indexes.
• Fixed paste injection on GNOME with non-Latin keyboard layouts such as Thai, Russian, Arabic, Greek, and Hebrew by temporarily switching to a Latin input source for the paste chord.
• Fixed keyboard hotplug behavior so docked, Bluetooth, and USB keyboards can work without explicitly listing every device name.
• Fixed installs where optional visualizer GUI dependencies failed to build, especially PyGObject on Ubuntu 24.04. Core runtime dependencies now install independently of the visualizer.
• Fixed website dependency vulnerabilities.

Changed

• keyboard_device_names is now an optional allowlist only. Leaving it unset keeps the default behavior of attaching any valid keyboard, including hotplugged keyboards.
• Visualizer-only Python dependencies moved into requirements-visualizer.txt and are installed best-effort.
