Full Release Notes

# Murmure 1.10.1

A big update on Murmure's core features, with a strong focus on speed, accuracy, and a smarter dictionary.

## Faster
Murmure now splits your recording on natural pauses and transcribes each part in the background while you keep talking, so long dictations finish much faster and the old 5 minute limit is gone.

## More accurate
A brand new AI model (thanks @thiswillbeyourgithub) brings noticeably better accuracy and far fewer unwanted switches to English. It works together with a reworked audio pipeline that prepares your voice with higher quality resampling before it reaches the model, which also helps a lot on low-end microphones.

## Smarter dictionary
The dictionary has been redesigned around a completely new approach. Your custom words are now boosted directly inside the model's decoding, so they get recognised far more reliably than before.

## Also new
- A new murmure command to transcribe audio files from the terminal.
- UI improvements across the app, plus monochrome tray icons on Linux and macOS.
- A close button on the overlay to cancel an ongoing transcription.

## Fixes
- Smoother recordings on Linux, no more crackling on some setups.
- macOS click-through and cancel button now work correctly.
- Bluetooth headsets no longer stay active between recordings.
- Several shortcut fixes, including duplicates and Ctrl only shortcuts.
- Security updates for dependencies.
