Kiri v1.4.0
What's new in v1.4.0
New
- Secure multi-profile remote OCR for Alibaba Cloud, OpenAI, and image-capable OpenAI Chat Completions-compatible services; local OCR remains the default.
- A dedicated Settings view for language and OCR profile management.
- Library search, smoother multi-selection and batch actions.
- Pause and resume controls for region recording.
Privacy and security
- Every remote OCR request discloses the destination, model, and selected-image details, then requires an explicit Send or Retry action.
- Remote failures never retry automatically, switch providers, or upload through a fallback.
- API keys stay in macOS Keychain or Windows Credential Manager.
- FFmpeg is not bundled. On the first explicit recording or GIF conversion, Kiri downloads a version-pinned archive from the disclosed platform source, verifies its SHA-256, caches it locally, and keeps all encoding on-device.
Fixes and reliability
- Escape reliably cancels capture and recording startup, including when a field has focus.
- Capture selection no longer receives stacked or overly dark dimming.
- Stable macOS development signing prevents repeated permission prompts across rebuilds.
- Transparent app icons are generated and validated for both development and production builds.
- Recording audio, cancellation, cleanup, and encoder fallback are more reliable across macOS and Windows.
- Release builds now include Apple Silicon, Intel Mac, and Windows installers.
