v26.827.0
Fixes a first-run failure on any connection that is not very fast.
What was wrong
The database step downloads a 644 MB Postgres image the first time you run the app, and it was given a two-minute limit. Past that it was killed mid-download and reported as "Postgres would not start", leaving no database container behind. On the machine this was built on the image was already cached, so the step always took under a second and the problem was invisible until someone else ran it.
Now it has thirty minutes, shows Docker's download progress while it works, and — if it does fail — says what Docker actually reported instead of guessing.
If you hit this
Just install this version over the old one and open it. Nothing to clean up; the download resumes from wherever it got to.
Turns PDFs and EPUBs into audiobooks you can read along with, on your own machine. Apple Silicon Macs only. Download pdf2audio-26.827.0-arm64.dmg below.
First time opening it: this build is not signed with an Apple certificate, so macOS refuses it once. Drag it to Applications, double-click, then open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom and click Open Anyway. If that button is not there, run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/pdf2audio.app in Terminal.
You also need Docker — Docker Desktop or OrbStack, installed and running. The app links to both if it is missing.
First launch downloads about 2.4 GB and takes a while; later ones take seconds.
