LauronFlow v0.4.0
What's new since v0.3.0
- Live first-launch progress: the menu bar icon and a dropdown row now show real
download/loading progress for the ~2.3GB Parakeet model on a cold cache, instead of a
silent wait. Resolves instantly on every launch after the first. - Fixed a bug where sidecar-side code updates could silently never take effect on an
existing install (the sidecar's Python environment persists across reinstalls, and
wasn't being told to pick up source changes). - Corrected the model download size everywhere it was documented: it's ~2.3GB, not
~600MB. - README and landing page brought back in sync with the app (License tab, configurable
hotkeys).
Setup instructions (Gatekeeper bypass, sidecar, permissions) are in the main README:
