AudioBud v0.6.0 release notes
AudioBud v0.6.0 is a Windows x64 GitHub release. GitHub publication for macOS
is deferred, so this release does not include a macOS download.
What is new
- Experimental Windows output targeting can lock later dictation to one window
or send one dictation to a selected window. It is off by default. - Per-application output profiles can override paste method, auto-submit, and
clipboard handling for named applications. - Finished transcripts use a dedicated delivery worker and a bounded queue, so
a slow paste does not block the overlay or tray. - Shortcut, settings, slider, input, audio, and model-loading failures recover
without duplicate listeners, stale state, or stuck modifier keys. - Text formatting, history retries, and correction learning use the
transcription's effective language. English-only rules skip unknown and
non-English output. - Repeated delivery jobs for one dictation stop before they can touch the
clipboard, keyboard, or target window. - Release assets include SHA-256 checksums, an SPDX SBOM, and GitHub build
provenance.
Downloads
- Windows setup:
AudioBud_0.6.0_x64-setup.exe - Windows MSI:
AudioBud_0.6.0_x64_en-US.msi - Windows setup with a fixed WebView2 runtime:
AudioBud_0.6.0_x64-portable-webview-setup.exe
The release also includes the signed Windows updater archive, its detached
signature, the updater public key, the SPDX SBOM, and SHA256SUMS.txt.
Install on Windows
Use the setup executable for a normal or portable install. Use the MSI for
deployment tooling. Portable installations require a manual update.
Installed Windows NSIS builds use AudioBud's signed in-app update system.
Publishing this GitHub release does not promote the live updater feed.
Verify a download
Compare the three Windows installers with SHA256SUMS.txt. Also confirm that
Windows reports a valid Authenticode signature from
CN=Joseph Amditis, O=Joseph Amditis, L=Bloomfield, S=nj, C=US.
GitHub build provenance is available for all eight release assets. The SPDX
SBOM records the exact packaged MSI, NSIS, fixed-WebView2, and dependency
manifest payload.
Known limits
- Experimental output targeting is Windows-only and off by default. Windows
can refuse to activate a selected window. If this occurs, AudioBud does not
send input to a different window. The transcript stays available in history
and in the clipboard when copying is enabled. - Portable installations do not apply automatic updates.
- macOS GitHub publication is deferred. Linux builds are not included.
