Full Changelog: v1.0.7...v1.0.8

Voxify v1.0.7

Changes in v1.0.7

• New Official Brand Icon: Upgraded to the new 3D Holographic Audio Pill app icon across desktop, taskbar, system tray, and installer.
• UI Header Updates: Integrated the new branded app icon into the sidebar header and About tab hero showcase.

Voxify v1.0.6

Changes in v1.0.6

• Free Cache Replays: Replaying text from cache via shortcut (Win+Alt+H) or UI history card is permanently free and does not count towards daily limits.
• Free Reads Counter Fixes: Eliminated duplicate trigger recording on repeated events and isolated background TTS API ingress from selection history.
• Automatic Quota Reset: Added seamless midnight date-rollover detection to reset daily limits automatically without app restarts.

Voxify v1.0.5

What's Changed in Voxify v1.0.5

🎧 Audio Pill Preview & Test Button

• 100% Free Audition & Testing: Clicking the speaker test pill button on the About hero card is now completely exempt from daily free trigger quotas and will never pop up the paywall modal or say daily limit is crossed.
• Excluded from History Recording: Audition and sample tests are kept purely in RAM and are not written to user history recordings or counted against the 5 daily reads quota.
• Unrestricted Pill Controls: Toggling play and pause on the sample preview audio pill is permanently free even after 5/5 daily reads have been consumed.

📦 Distribution & Packaging

• Release Setup Installer: Voxify_1.0.5_x64-setup.exe (SHA256: 2C300778374FAC8388CB6362C3725E418C01EF1B7527207AEFDB6D6887CB6096).

Full Changelog: v1.0.4...v1.0.5

Voxify v1.0.4

What's Changed in Voxify v1.0.4

🛡️ Windows Autostart & Hook Reliability Hardening

• Dual Kernel Hotkey Registration: Directly registered activation hotkeys (Win + Alt + S and universal fallback Ctrl + Alt + S) with the Windows kernel via RegisterHotKey. Kernel hotkeys remain permanently active across all Windows sessions, desktop transitions, and reboots.
• Hook Settle Delay & Module Handle: Passed GetModuleHandleW to low-level keyboard/mouse hooks and introduced a 1500ms settle delay on silent autostart to ensure the Windows interactive desktop and message subsystem are completely initialized before attaching hooks.
• Lazy AudioPlayer Initialization: Added on-the-fly lazy re-initialization of AudioPlayer during speech generation, preventing silent failures if the Windows Audio Service (Audiosrv) was still starting up during early Windows boot.
• System Tray Shortcuts & Action: Corrected the tray menu shortcut label to (Win+Alt+S / Ctrl+Alt+S) and updated rigger_read_selection to dispatch immediate activation on demand even if auto-read is disabled.

📦 Distribution & Packaging

• Release Setup Installer: Voxify_1.0.4_x64-setup.exe (SHA256: 9E6DC554A917E812286BC819D256E1ACEE773A2847E022913BB990EF61029216).

Voxify v1.0.3

What's Changed in Voxify v1.0.3

💎 Floating Audio Pill Paywall & Free Quota Enforcement

• Native Quota Enforcement in Background Reader: Hardened the global Windows selection reader to actively verify the daily free quota (5 triggers/day) before executing synthesis.
• Paywall Audio Pill State: When the daily trigger quota is exhausted without a Pro license, the floating pill immediately presents an interactive "Free Daily Quota Over • Upgrade to Pro" upgrade prompt with direct checkout ingress.
• Enhanced Lemon Squeezy Integration: Improved checkout and membership status verification flows.

🎨 UI & Design Polish

• Streamlined About View: Minimalist hero card with an icon-only speaker preview button and cleaned-up layout.

🚀 Neural Voice REST API & External Agent Integration

• Direct Text Ingestion: Seamless markdown and plain text processing with real-time Kokoro-82M neural synthesis.

🎙️ Audio Pill & System-wide Reader Refinements

• Zero-Glitch Pause Behavior: Eliminated playback pause glitches and prevented unwanted collapse to compact state during pause.
• Enhanced Global Selection Reader: Improved Windows input monitoring and background service stability.

📦 Distribution & Packaging

• Standalone Windows Installer: Updated NSIS setup executable (Voxify_1.0.2_x64-setup.exe) with pre-bundled Kokoro-82M neural models and ONNX runtime redistributables.
