Pindrop v1.9.1

What's New

• Fixed repeated macOS Accessibility permission prompts after installing from DMG by hardening app bundle re-signing in release builds.

Improvements

• Release signing now explicitly signs nested Sparkle executables and XPC services before signing Sparkle.framework and the main app bundle.
• Added strict deep-signature verification (codesign --verify --deep --strict) as a release gate in both local and CI release paths.

Pindrop v1.9.0

What's New

• Added opt-in streaming transcription so text appears as you speak instead of only after capture completes.
• Added speaker diarization support so multi-speaker recordings are separated and labeled by speaker in the transcript output.

Improvements

• Improved transcription orchestration and state handling for the new streaming and diarization paths.
• Release artifacts now include an updated Sparkle appcast.xml attached directly to each GitHub release.
