Full Release Notes

- Fixed a Windows recording issue where some hardware encoders could silently produce no output.
- Improved the Windows hardware encoder checks to avoid a crash during startup probing.
- Fixed a case where Screenity could get stuck thinking it was “Already recording” after a recording session had ended.
- Fixed a back-to-back retry issue where starting a new recording immediately after a failed one could sometimes fail to start
- Improved macOS audio recovery when the audio system is interrupted, for example after an audio server restart, a phone call, or another app taking exclusive audio.
- Added a warning when Bluetooth microphones switch into low-quality headset mode, which can drop mic quality to 24kHz or lower.
- Improved mic-change detection during recording, including cases where a removed microphone still appears to be live.
- Added cleanup for old upload recovery data so Chrome’s local storage does not slowly fill up over time.
