We completely rebuilt Whispering's recording architecture from the ground up with a native Rust implementation for better audio quality and reliability.
This release fixes some issues that we've been trying to fix for months: shortcuts that only worked when Whispering was in focus (#491), recording that stopped on macOS due to App Nap (#549, #559), shortcuts failing most of the time on Windows (#500), and completely broken shortcuts on Linux Ubuntu (#484).
We've also added progressive file saving (audio writes to disk in real-time, so crashes won't lose your work) and customizable output folders so you can choose exactly where your recordings are saved.
We added a few more updates along the way :)
