StenoAI 0.5.8
StenoAI v0.5.8
Transcription & notes
- Notes on demand — a new "Generate notes automatically" toggle (Settings). Turn it off and a recording stops at a transcript-only note; generate the AI summary later, on demand, from the note. (#276)
- Sharper speaker labels — the live transcript now uses true per-channel attribution, so
[You]vs[Others]is far more accurate. (#284) - Auto-detect output language by default — summaries follow the meeting's detected language instead of defaulting to English. (#282)
Templates
- Template gallery — a curated set of built-in note templates, plus a redesigned Templates settings with cloud-provider support. (#302, #298)
Privacy
- Debug log no longer leaks meeting content — the shareable Developer log is reduced at the source (transcript/summary text and PII stripped, on-disk
processing.logtoo). (#293) - Redacted "Save diagnostics" export — export a diagnostics file with paths, URLs, and meeting titles redacted, safe to share for support. (#294)
Fixes & reliability
- MLX reliability on Apple Silicon — stale env var +
libmlx.dylibABI collision. (#287) - "Note ready" notification now navigates to the finished note. (#286)
- Closed a
config.jsoncross-process lost-update race. (#291) - Bedrock region validation; path-containment + temp-file race fixes. (#300, #277)
- Settings fixes — reset-storage clears the custom path, org sign-in Enter guard, template-delete failures surfaced, GeneralTab OAuth/name-seed races. (#311, #312)
Under the hood
- Split the 2.8k-line
Settings.tsxinto per-tab modules;setup-checkemits JSON; retired the stale IPC-contract doc; architecture-review cleanup + IPC conformance test. (#289, #290, #295, #280, #288)
No migration or user action required.
