New in 0.5.1:
- Parakeet engine: faster transcription, lower memory usage
- ROCm GPU acceleration for AMD GPUs (Parakeet)
- CUDA GPU acceleration for NVIDIA GPUs (Parakeet)
- Profile support: switch between configurations
- CLI backend mode for external whisper binaries

Should be fixed, autape

v0.3.2 released
This release fixes the SIGILL crash on CPUs without AVX-512 (e.g., Zen 3, older Intel). The 0.3.0-2 fix didn't work because WHISPER_NO_AVX512=ON is ignored by the bundled whisper.cpp version. Now using compiler
flags (-mno-avx512f) to reliably disable AVX-512 instructions.
Other changes:
- On-demand model loading: optionally load/unload the Whisper model per transcription to reduce idle memory (~1GB → near zero)
- Paste output mode: copies to clipboard and simulates Ctrl+V for apps that don't work with virtual keyboards
- Build script portability improvements
- inotify integration fixes suspend-resume / screenlocker bugs
If you had issues with 0.3.0-2, this should work. The package now builds two binaries (AVX2 and AVX512) and the install script auto-detects your CPU.

Raphael - thank you for pointing this out. I've fixed the broken link to the source tarball
