Added

  • Works behind a proxy that asks for a sign-in (Windows). Handy read the proxy's address from
    Windows but could not sign in to it, so on a PC behind such a proxy model downloads and update
    checks failed with "error sending request" while the browser worked. Handy now uses the proxy
    set in Windows the way a browser does - static proxy, bypass list or setup script (PAC) - and
    signs in with your Windows account (Negotiate / NTLM) when the proxy asks. Advanced settings >
    Proxy (new) also offers a manual proxy (address, port, sites reached directly), a user name and
    password for a proxy with its own account (stored encrypted for your Windows account), No
    proxy, and a Test button that shows the route and the sign-in used. Covers model downloads,
    update checks, LLM providers and the online transcription engines; servers on this PC are
    always reached directly.

Fixed

  • Network errors say why. A failed model download is now logged with its cause (it was not
    logged at all), and update-check errors include the underlying reason (DNS, connection, TLS,
    proxy) instead of only "error sending request".
