StreamWave v0.8.4

StreamWave 0.8.4

🍎 StreamWave for Mac

• StreamWave now runs on macOS 11 Big Sur or later, as one universal app for Apple Silicon (M1 and newer) and Intel Macs.
• Download StreamWave_0.8.4_universal.dmg, open it and drag StreamWave into Applications. (StreamWave_0.8.4_universal.app.zip is the same app as a zip.)
• First launch: StreamWave isn't notarised by Apple yet, so a normal double-click is blocked the first time. Right-click (or Control-click) StreamWave in Applications, choose Open, then click Open again. After that it opens normally.
• Newer macOS (Sequoia 15 and later): if there's no Open button, click Done, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to "StreamWave" was blocked and click Open Anyway, then confirm.
• Allow microphone access when macOS asks.
• For MP3/FLAC/Opus export and OBS video import, install FFmpeg with brew install ffmpeg. StreamWave finds Homebrew and MacPorts installs automatically.
• Updates are manual on Mac for now. Help → Check for updates (and the quiet startup check) tells you when a new version is out and opens the download page. Download the new .dmg and drag StreamWave into Applications to replace the old one. Your settings and projects are kept.

🐧 Linux packages for your distro

• Besides the AppImage there are now packages for each family of distros:
  • Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Pop!_OS: sudo apt install ./StreamWave-0.8.4-linux-x86_64.deb
  • Fedora, RHEL: sudo dnf install ./StreamWave-0.8.4-linux-x86_64.rpm (openSUSE: sudo zypper install ./StreamWave-0.8.4-linux-x86_64.rpm)
  • Arch, CachyOS, Manjaro, EndeavourOS: sudo pacman -U ./StreamWave-0.8.4-linux-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
• They add StreamWave to your app menu. The .deb and .rpm install the ALSA library if it's missing and recommend FFmpeg.
• The AppImage is still the copy that updates itself. With a .deb, .rpm or Arch package, Help → Check for updates tells you when a new version is out and opens the download page, and you install the new package over the old one.

Windows

• No changes beyond the version number. The signed in-app updater works as before.

Updating

• Windows / Linux AppImage, from 0.6.x – 0.8.3: use Help → Check for updates…. The quiet startup check will also offer this version.
• From 0.5.x: download and run the installer below once. Older versions have no updater.
