TypeWhisper v1.2.0-rc.2
TypeWhisper 1.2.0-rc.2 is the second release candidate for Windows 1.2. The
rc.1 release notes
describe what is new in 1.2, including managed settings for organizations and the
machine-wide MSI.
Fixes since rc.1
- The overview of new features now appears after an app update. Download and restart
starts TypeWhisper again in the tray, and opening Settings to check the update
closed the overview before it appeared. Dictation and other work still keep it
closed. (#681)
Updating
- rc.1 offers rc.2 through the update notice. Download and restart installs it and
keeps the profile, plugins and settings. - Installations of TypeWhisper 1.1 on the release-candidate channel update to rc.2
directly. - Installations on the Stable channel stay on 1.1.0 until 1.2.0 is published.
Installation and requirements
- The per-user installer, the MSI and the portable ZIP are available for x64. Setup
installs the .NET 10 runtime when it is missing; the portable ZIP requires it
separately. The Group Policy templates are attached as
TypeWhisper-win-PolicyTemplates.zip. - TypeWhisper requires Windows 10 build 19041 or later.
- As with rc.1, the GitHub installers, including the MSI, are not code-signed, so
Windows SmartScreen may ask for confirmation. The Microsoft Store version is updated
separately.
RC validation notes
- Update rc.1 to rc.2 through the update notice. Open Settings while TypeWhisper
restarts: the overview of new features appears once, above Settings. - Update an installed 1.1.0 on the release-candidate channel to rc.2 and check the
restart, shortcuts, license, profile, plugins and dictation.
