PadReady 2.2.0

PadReady v2.2.0

PadReady now runs on Tauri instead of Electron. It uses the WebView2 that is built into Windows 10 and 11, so the installer is about 5 MB instead of over 100 MB, and the app starts faster and uses less memory. Everything looks and works the same, and your settings carry over.

✨ New

• Much smaller download: about 5 MB for the installer and 7 MB for the portable version, SoX-NG included.
• Step-by-step installer: choose whether to install just for you (no admin rights needed) or for all users, and pick the install folder. If WebView2 is missing (only on old Windows versions), the installer downloads it.
• Portable zip: unzip PadReady-2.2.0-portable.zip anywhere and start PadReady.exe. Keep the sox folder next to it.

⚠️ Upgrading from 2.1.x

The new installer uses a different install folder than the Electron versions. Uninstall the old PadReady first in Windows Settings > Apps, so you don't end up with two copies. Your settings are kept.

📜 Third-party software

PadReady includes SoX-NG 14.7.2 (sox_ng.exe), unchanged from the official Windows build, under the GNU General Public License v2. The license text is installed next to it as sox\COPYING. The SoX-NG source code is attached to this release as sox_ng-14.7.2.tar.gz and is also available from the SoX-NG 14.7.2 release.
