Cursay 1.3.0 — Ubuntu preview
Ubuntu preview of Cursay 1.3.0.
Adds opt-in future-capture Memory sync, private capture controls, approved vocabulary hints, and a link to the browser workspace. Preserves automatic Ctrl+Shift+V for supported terminals, with a manual paste override. The installer now bundles Ubuntu's secure credential helper for account linking.
Validated with 78 Ubuntu tests, Python lint, shell checks, an isolated GTK smoke run, and fresh-install verification. GitHub Linux, Mac build, and Windows build checks passed.
Memory still requires separate account consent and production storage-readiness checks. This preview does not import old history. Signed Mac packages and installed Windows acceptance are not included in this Ubuntu preview.
Download the archive and checksum, verify the checksum, extract the archive, and run ./install.sh. Use --skip-backend when preserving an existing external speech service.
