Velora 0.4.3 — notarized install and honest first-run setup
Velora 0.4.3 is the first public Developer ID-signed and Apple-notarized release. Drag it to Applications and open it normally; no Gatekeeper bypass is needed.
First-run setup
- The Try It field stays locked while the speech and writing models complete their one-time setup.
- Onboarding shows the current setup phase and download percentage instead of letting a first dictation fail mysteriously.
- Progress and completion remain correct across engine reconnects.
- If the optional writing model cannot load, Velora falls back to raw dictation instead of trapping onboarding.
Distribution
- The app and DMG use Developer ID signing and hardened runtime.
- Apple notarization is stapled to the DMG and verified before publication.
- Gatekeeper accepts both the disk image and bundled app as Notarized Developer ID.
Verified with 55 Swift self-checks and 198 Python tests.
