Important
Platform availability: Windows x64 and Linux x64 only.
macOS installers are not included in this beta because Apple notarization credentials are currently unavailable. The Windows installer is unsigned and may trigger Microsoft Defender SmartScreen; verify downloads against SHA256SUMS.txt before testing.
This beta packages the reviewed Recordly reliability improvements merged through PR #754, including recording/HUD/webcam fixes, audio and export correctness work, safer project persistence and Marketplace failure handling, Electron 43, and updated Windows native-build compatibility.
Verification before release:
- interactive Windows recording, editing, audio, and export smoke passed on the Electron 43 package
- full local suite passed with 995 tests and 1 skip
- Windows x64 and Linux x64 release jobs must build, smoke-test packaged paths, generate checksums, attest provenance, and upload successfully before assets are attached
- prerelease assets intentionally exclude macOS and stable auto-update metadata
Please report regressions with OS, hardware, capture/audio configuration, and logs where possible.
