  • Security fix for the local control server. Vice's settings server only listens on your own machine, but a web page you had open could still send it requests: change settings, quit Vice or start an uninstall. It now refuses anything coming from a web page, and scripts and the vice command work as before. Please update. Thanks to @voltek-laruelle for spotting it.
  • Sound packs (#300). @LeonnJD made a set of sounds for Vice, and they're now built in as the Futuristic pack next to the Classic tones. Pick one under Settings, Audio, or on the first-run screen. Choosing one plays it so you can hear the difference. Custom sound files still override either pack.
  • Matugen colours (#295). Vice can follow your wallpaper. Run vice matugen, add the lines it prints to your matugen config, and pick Matugen under Settings, Appearance. Vice recolours itself every time matugen runs.
  • Set a clip's game yourself (#187). When detection misses a game, right-click the clip and press Set game, or press Game in the viewer. The filename and share link stay the same.
  • Preview status (#241). Clips that need a preview before they can play here show a small ring on the card. Click it to start the preview without opening the clip. The ring goes away once it's ready.
  • Overlay keys (#258, #301). Choose which keys are on the keyboard overlay under Settings, Overlay. A key you take off isn't shown, read or kept with clips. @voltek-laruelle added an AZERTY layout.
  • Voice clipping (#284, #271). Say "Vice, clip that" to save a clip. It runs offline with Vosk and is off by default. The README explains the setup. Thanks @Cryptorial0.
  • Closing the window frees its memory (#260, #293). The X button now closes the window and Vice keeps recording, instead of keeping the whole window loaded in the tray. If you liked the old behaviour, turn on Close to tray under Settings, Appearance. Thanks @milan483.
  • Sessions keep their game (#294). A session recording is tagged with the game you started it in, even after you switch windows. Also from @milan483.

Fixes:

  • Custom notification sounds and the volume now apply as soon as you save, instead of after a restart. Paths pasted with quotes or as file:// work too, and a file that can't be played falls back to the built-in sound instead of silence (#297).
  • Starting a second trim while one was running could corrupt the clip. Trims now show progress, and Vice refuses a second trim, a rename or a delete on that clip until the first one finishes (#281, thanks @voltek-laruelle).
  • Nix: the flake builds again on current nixos-unstable (#299), and the package now includes xdg-utils (#283).
  • A pass over the UI: the editor timeline fills its panel, track labels are spelled out, the trim player lost the browser's extra menu, clip view counts no longer get cut off, and a lot of help text is shorter.
