What's new
- macOS Sonoma 14.2+ is now supported on Apple Silicon. Qwen3 ASR still requires macOS 15. On Sonoma, any saved Qwen3 selection falls back to Parakeet v2. This release also fixes system audio capture failing with "Stream out of range for tap" (
560947818) on some devices, and keeps capture sample rates correct through delayed VAD/transcription. (#721, thanks @mnm-matin) - Download local models from a Hugging Face mirror. The new Settings → Transcription → Model Downloads → Hugging Face Hub endpoint setting (or
HF_ENDPOINT) is used for every local model download: Whisper, Parakeet, Qwen3, VAD, and diarization. OpenOats never falls back to huggingface.co when a mirror is configured. Restart OpenOats after changing it. (#723, closes #697, thanks @BetterToAutomateTheWorld for the detailed spec)
