AI Summary
This release improves memory management for voice notes by capping waveform decoding size to prevent memory exhaustion on long recordings. It ensures full audio playback is preserved while omitting partial waveforms if the decoding process fails.
Key Highlights
- Bounded memory use when generating waveforms for long voice notes.
- Waveform decoding is capped at 2 MiB (approximately 131 seconds).
- Full audio quality and duration are preserved for the entire recording.
- Partial waveforms are omitted if the ffmpeg decoding process fails.
New Features
- Memory cap for voice note waveform generation
- Enhanced error handling for waveform decoding failures
