What we're building now¶

Fixed (47)

• the docs' memory and Docker-image figures are re-measured, and four stale status lines corrected
• Linux: enabling a voiceprint feature no longer downloads the CUDA build of PyTorch
• the website made 27 failing requests on every page view, and its home-page title named the product twice
• install and status pages that had drifted from the code and the live channels
• on Windows, the whole keyboard no longer lags while a dictation transcribes
• with Microsoft Store Python on Windows, yazses status and stop see the running daemon
• on Windows, no empty terminal window at sign-in after yazses start (#330)
• yazses autostart disable stays disabled
• scoop uninstall yazses removes the start-at-login entry
• yazses stop stops YazSes, tray icon included, instead of being undone by it
• the Windows tray greys out a Meeting Mode entry that cannot work, and says why
• the Windows install guide's facts
• the Windows add-on spike's bind check reported a correct bind as FAIL
• with yazses remote connected, dictation was typed on this machine instead of the remote one
• updating will not break OpenCV (cv2) for camera-feature users
• dictated text no longer reaches the log when a keystroke tool fails
• yazses report no longer carries your home directory
• long streaming corrections on Wayland could delete text outside the dictation
• smaller defects found by new regression tests
• the one-click Windows update never ran the installer (unreleased feature)
• "install it with…" messages name a command that works on your install, and yazses update recognises a uv tool under a custom UV_TOOL_DIR
• the MCP transcribe tool and meeting recover now decode with your model, language, device and precision
• a non-English language on an English-only model is refused, not typed as English (#515)
• Persian and Arabic names keep their punctuation in the tray, Settings and notifications (#516)
• pushing a release tag no longer turns every open pull request red (#602)
• Mandarin text no longer gains spaces, loses commas or doubles on the way to the app (#501)
• implicit gaze calibration kept old eye positions too long, and across a layout change (#397)
• Mandarin commands: a sentence could become a go-to-file/function/class, and numerals were not bounded where they should be (#499)
• a language switch is proven whole before it lands, and doctor names the real command grammar (#497)
• the hands-free controls window lists only stop routes that exist, and tells the truth about installs (#420)
• a Mac without the Accessibility grant now says so when the Head-Pointer starts (#402)
• the Wayland keyboard and pointer could write to their shared portal connection at the same time (#403)
• implicit gaze calibration: the promotion verdict is a pure function, and the schema version is read (#398)
• a face switch bound to pause_pointer did nothing while the global stop was off (#407)
• an eyes-closed face switch could fire on an ordinary blink when the shared camera ran at 30 fps (#406)
• a half-made Gesture Chord token no longer survives a hands-free Pause and Resume (#408)
• an update could still delete an enabled feature's libraries, and a dead feature looked healthy
• the eye-control CI matrix lost its macOS leg to a new Homebrew Python (#424)
• an eye-eval outcomes file could carry free text in a face-switch record (#422)
• a camera feature could be switched on in a package that cannot run one (#414)
• hands-free health named the camera for a model failure, and called a stalled camera "tracking valid" (#416)
• macOS: no Accessibility or microphone prompt was ever raised, and doctor names a daemon that predates a grant (#562, #578)
• Mandarin: yazses transcribe ignored [stt] chinese_script, and the opt-in Hallucination Guard could drop a Han sentence
• yazses start keeps waiting through a transient IPC error, and says which endpoint stayed silent (#330)
• calibration no longer sets the gate from how loudly the sample was spoken (#579)
• a damaged gaze calibration file could still read as valid (#415, ADR-v2-149)
• a face gesture begun before Resume no longer completes after it (#417)

Added (34)

• six accessibility features you can now turn on (experimental, off by default)
• implicit gaze calibration can now see real clicks on X11, Windows and macOS (#607)
• ADR-029 "Runtime residency": RAM and CPU proportional to what is enabled (Proposed)
• the website shows what is being built right now, and a three-step quick start for every OS
• a licence check holds back any Windows add-on whose licences are unclear (ADR-028 Q7)
• a reviewed licence text can stand in for one a library does not ship (ADR-028 Q7)
• install a Windows add-on from a file with no network, and the uninstaller removes your add-ons (ADR-028 questions 4 and 5)
• add-on packs use YazSes's own ONNX Runtime (unreleased feature, ADR-028 M1)
• add-ons are downloaded again after a one-click Windows update (ADR-028 Q3, unreleased feature)
• the missing signal producers for six unwired accessibility features (#164)
• benchmark and evaluation tooling for Mandarin and Persian
• READY eye/camera validation slots appear in the contributor task finder (#456)
• the Settings window checks for updates and installs dormant features
• one written response to a red check, and quarantines that expire (#538)
• a daily CI telemetry report: queue time, runtime, cancellation and failure hot spots (#536)
• a written, checkable milestone policy for open issues (#480)
• a switched-on feature installs its own libraries at the moment it needs them, with one action, and an install can no longer break the base
• the Windows release builds feature add-on packs (ADR-028, build side of phases 0–1)
• add-on packs: the Windows installer build can turn on Parakeet and diarization (ADR-028, runtime side)
• the live traceability audit now reports issue-tracker drift, advisory only (#487)
• the gaze field report now gives error percentiles and zone hit rates, and its validator rejects any report that could leak (#399)
• face-switch false-activation replay: nuisance traces and a swappable detector (#409)
• the Wayland gaze target is a cited capability model, and "close this" on Wayland is refused out loud (#418)
• the hands-free preset is a features capability, and every way on checks its safety floor (#410)
• ci-gate, one stable check for branch protection to require (#462)
• one-click update on Windows (ADR-027)
• release validation standard, platform validation matrix and macOS campaign (docs only)
• paper-v2 tables and figure data are generated from the archived results (#508)
• Persian benchmark: the manifest gate, recorded selection seed, and stated scoring rules (FA-04, #513)
• per-decode cost records, a versioned cost schema and battery/macOS energy paths (#506)
• benchmark harness can record CPU core-seconds and optional energy (#506)
• language output profiles: one registry keyed by the STT language (FA-01, #509)
• eye-control results reuse the paper benchmark's provenance instead of describing it twice (#421)
• examples/config.discord.toml, a Windows 11 profile for Discord

Changed (6)

• the README now opens with what YazSes is, what it does, how to install it, and how to help
• the Windows installer carries Parakeet's engine and Chinese script conversion; the diarization add-on runs on the installer's ONNX Runtime
• documentation and project tooling
• five disabled features no longer load at daemon start, and the CLI no longer imports the config for --version
• the eye-validation registry declares every issue it names, and what hardware each cell needs (#454)
• macOS install guide: the Open Anyway route first, and how to find a leftover daemon (#562)

Tests (6)

• Glance-Type on the shared camera sees the same model and the same device (#396)
• the Head-Pointer is proven reachable through the daemon, not only importable (#404)
• every Head-Pointer state, every way in and out, on a fake clock (#405)
• one MediaPipe result, three channels: every subset and every absence (#395)
• the PointerSink contract now covers bounds and permanence (#400)
• the shared camera owner is now held to its contract at the daemon, not only on its own (#394)

Security (2)

• the Windows diarization add-on stays unreleased: its libraries embed GPL code
• 20 of 21 open dependency advisories closed by upgrading, the last one assessed (#116)

Docs (1)

• the machine-drafted translations say offline "by default", not "never"

Performance (1)

• a feature that is off no longer slows every start, and a test now holds that line
