CHANGELOG

Every small change, written down

How NookType has evolved release by release. Every shipped change, written down.

v0.0.6

2026.07.30

Latest

Improved

Structured formatting now preserves perspective, tone, and uncertainty more accurately, with more natural paragraphs and lists.
Translation now cleans up the text before translating, producing clearer bilingual output and reducing truncation in long content.

Fixed

Square brackets in Markdown and technical text are no longer removed by mistake.
Cloud polishing no longer makes unnecessary retries on authentication, rate-limit, or service errors.

v0.0.5

2026.07.24

Improvements

Optimized the prompt structure of the polish system for clearer and more accurate semantic refinement.
Added recording protection to keyboard shortcut binding to prevent accidental activation.
UI menu items and release notes now fully support six interface languages: Chinese, English, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish.

v0.0.4

2026.07.21

Improved

Clicking the window close button now hides the app to the background instead of quitting — reopen from Dock.

Fixed

Occasional delay in text injection (results now appear faster after releasing the key).
Output semantic reversal on the 1.5B polish model — content no longer says the opposite.
Language detection misjudgment in rare cases.
Model server startup failure caused by port conflicts.
Multiple stability fixes.

v0.0.3

2026.07.18

Fixed

v0.0.2

2026.07.18

Improved

Built-in polish style names and descriptions now display in your interface language.
Text insertion now uses native paste — faster and more reliable.
Interface details refined to match the latest design.
Removed the redundant "Finish — I'll wait" button while models download during onboarding.
The release notes dialog now groups changes into Added / Improved / Fixed sections for easier reading.

Fixed

On some devices the app language ignored the system setting and always showed English.
Some keys, when set as the dictation shortcut, would also trigger their original action in the active app.
The recording capsule could occasionally jump or get clipped at the bottom edge.
Dictating in another app incorrectly lit up the trial card on the home screen.

v0.0.1

2026.06.22

NookType's first release — press and hold to talk, release to type. Fully local, works offline.

Added

Real-time voice input: hold the shortcut to speak; release and your words appear instantly at the cursor.
Local AI polish: strips filler words ("um", "uh", "like") and splits sentences by meaning, adding punctuation.
Smart dictionary: say a term a few times and it remembers your proper nouns.
Domain glossaries: pick your field for more accurate recognition of technical terms.
Multilingual: Chinese, English, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish — mixing English into Chinese won't break recognition.
Cloud polish (optional): connect an OpenAI-compatible service when you want stronger results.
Recording capsule: an on-screen indicator showing listening / transcribing / inserted.
Windows support: runs on both macOS and Windows.
Auto-update: upgrade in-app when a new version is out.
