YazSes v2.17.0 — what real use found in a day

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 09:54:43 +0000

Streaming dictation could delete text it had never typed, a fresh snap install never mentioned the interface its hotkey needs, and yazses start never survived a reboot. All three fixed.

YazSes v2.16.0 — the snap becomes whole

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 02:00:46 +0000

A snap can never install libraries at runtime, so half of YazSes was unreachable there. It now bundles what fits — Meeting Mode, diarized import and Read-Back work in the snap for the first time — and refuses honestly for what cannot.

YazSes v2.15.1 — err is a verb

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 19:52:14 +0000

Dictation stops deleting the word 'err', and the mypy gate goes from 73 errors to zero — surfacing a latent crash in yazses update on the way.

YazSes v2.15.0 — the honesty release

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 19:03:19 +0000

Dictation stops deleting real words, the snap stops giving impossible advice, the installer stops trusting an unpinned script, and the contributor wall lists everyone.
