Release Notes
- Transcription now goes through FFI bindings kept in this repo (
src/ffi.rs)
against a vendored whisper.cpp pinned to v1.7.6 (vendor/whisper.cpp
submodule). whisper-rs is gone. Output is byte-identical to v0.3.1 on the
same audio.
- Source builds no longer need libclang:
bindgen left the build graph, and
whisper.cpp no longer goes through CMake. The CMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM
note now applies only to opus, on hosts without a system libopus.
- The build targets an explicit AVX2/FMA/F16C floor (Haswell 2013 and newer)
instead of inheriting the build machine's instruction set, so released
binaries stop depending on whatever CPU the CI runner had. HARKEN_NATIVE=1
opts a source build into the host's full ISA. Measured within 3% of the v0.3.1
engine on the same machine (five interleaved A/B pairs).
- New opt-in smoke test that loads a real whisper context through the FFI:
cargo test --test ffi_smoke_test -- --ignored. The 78-test suite runs
against a fake engine and cannot catch an FFI mistake.
- Building from a git checkout now needs
--recurse-submodules (or
git submodule update --init --recursive).
- The published package ships only the vendored sources the build compiles —
upstream's examples, bindings and tests are excluded (1.3 MiB crate).
- (
v0.4.0 was tagged but never released: MSVC spells the C++ standard option
/std:c++17 and silently ignored the unix spelling, so the Windows build
compiled as C++14 and failed on std::filesystem.)
