🚀 LeanType 4.3.3-beta3

⚠️ Offline flavor now requires Android 6.0+: The offline flavor minimum is raised from Android 5.0 (SDK 21) to Android 6.0 (SDK 23), the same as standard. Android 5.0 and 5.1 devices can no longer install or update it.

🐛 Fixed & Hardened

• Letter Size Regression (#814): Wide letters such as w and m (and ш, щ in Russian) no longer render smaller than the other letters. The key label width fit now only applies to multi-character labels on the floating keyboard.
• Voice Strip with an Open Toolbar (#820): The voice animation stays visible when voice input is started from the expanded toolbar, instead of the toolbar covering it while text is typed.
• Backspace Before Symbol Runs (#820): One backspace no longer deletes everything before the cursor when the text consists of circled letters, arrows, or math symbols.
• Voice Key While Processing (#821): Tapping the voice key during processing no longer cancels the pending text. The cancel button on the strip still does.
• Stray Words After Dictation (#821): "Transcribe while speaking" cuts the silence after the last speech from each piece and ignores pieces with only noise, so Whisper no longer invents trailing words.
• Live Transcription Stability (#816): Late callbacks from a finished dictation can no longer affect a new one, and a piece that never finishes now times out instead of blocking the pieces after it.
• Android 6 Compatibility (#817): Replaced calls that need API 23 or 24 in the settings search, the custom styles parser, and the input view, which could crash older devices.

✨ Added

• Custom Text Styles (#815, #820): Add your own Unicode font styles from Toolbar > Custom text styles. Write one style per line as Name: followed by the styled A-Z, a-z and optionally 0-9 (52 or 62 characters). A pasted alphabet without a name is accepted, invisible paste characters are ignored, and a Features Guide button opens the documentation. Custom styles appear in the Font Style strip with live typing and undo.

⚡ Performance & Battery

• Voice Plugin Binding (#819): The voice plugin is no longer left bound after a failed model import, and the idle unbind retries while the plugin is busy instead of giving up.

🧹 Maintenance & Testing

• Offline Flavor minSdk 23 (#818): Raised the offline flavor minimum to Android 6.0, which also clears about 295 lint errors that only applied below API 23.
• Release Verifier (#812): The release check and notes expect -release.apk names for beta builds.
• Shorter Voice Toggle Text: The "Transcribe while speaking" description is now a single short line.
