1.7.0

# 🚀 Murmure 1.7.0 — February 12, 2026

This release pushes Murmure further into the **LLM-powered workflow era**, with powerful text manipulation features, improved customization, and stronger security foundations.

But 1.7.0 also goes further on what truly defines Murmure: **privacy by design**.  
Temporary audio is now stored in the system `tmp` directory for automatic OS‑level cleanup, even in case of a crash. The new logging system avoids exposing transcriptions by default, and automated security scanning (SonarQube) has been introduced to further strengthen code integrity.

Finally, both the macOS and Windows versions are now officially signed. Windows may still display reputation warnings initially, as the certificate builds trust over time.

## ✨ New Features

- **(Major) Select Command** — Select any text and transform it using a custom command (fix grammar, translate to English, rephrase, etc.). Murmure now works as a contextual AI editor, not just a speech‑to‑text tool.

- **(Major) LLM Prompts** — Multiple saved prompts with:
  - Syntax highlighting in the prompt editor  
  - Anchor tags enforcement for safer output control  
  - New **“Cursor Developer”** preset  

- **Input Microphone Selection** — Choose your preferred input microphone directly in Settings. Thanks to @litel-fr.

- **Dictionary Import / Export** — Import and export custom words, including medical presets. Thanks to @icristescu ([#72](https://github.com/Kieirra/murmure/pull/72)]).

- **Text Insertion Mode** — Choose how text is inserted:
  - Standard mode  
  - Terminal-compatible mode  
  - Direct typing mode  
  ([#119](https://github.com/Kieirra/murmure/issues/119)])

- **Log Verbosity Controls** — Configure log levels (`trace`, `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`) and quickly open the logs folder from the app.

• macOS: Improved global shortcut handling — no longer limited by system-reserved shortcuts (Thanks to @HachetAmaury)
