v1.1.0

Highlights

• Whisper model picker — first-time setup asks which model to use (tiny → large-v3); auto-recommends medium (GPU) or base (CPU). Change anytime via the new Settings menu (option 3).
• Settings menu — change model, see debug mode instructions, or force a reinstall without touching any files.
• Extension loop fix — "Queue All Videos" was clearing relay deduplication on every click, causing the same lecture to re-download and re-transcribe in a loop. Fixed.
• Better offline errors — clicking the extension popup while the relay isn't running now shows "LocalStream is not running — open START.bat and choose option 2" instead of a raw JS error.
• Repo cleanup — source moved to src/, tests to tests/, dev scripts to scripts/. Root folder now only shows what a student needs to see.
• START.bat — launches directly in PowerShell (no Windows Terminal dependency, emojis work).
• Clean console — only essential lines shown by default; run npm run setup:debug for full verbose output.

LocalStream v1.0.1 — Student README, quick start, and release guide

Highlights

• Student-first README — Clear “what / why / Canvas–Panopto–YouTube/privacy” sections, table of contents, and badges.
• Quick start (Windows) — Step-by-step: Node + Python, ZIP or Releases, START.bat, option 1 (files in media/) vs option 2 (Chrome extension + http://localhost:8787), where transcripts go (transcriptions/).
• Downloads & releases — What to put in a release ZIP, how users install from Releases, and how maintainers publish (GitHub UI + optional git tag).
• START.bat — Runs the setup menu once (removed accidental second start.js run).

For users

1. Install Node.js (LTS) and Python 3.10–12 (add Python to PATH on Windows).
2. Download Source code (zip) from this release or clone the repo.
3. Unzip, double-click START.bat, then choose 1 (local files) or 2 (browser + extension).

No behavior changes to core transcription logic in this tag beyond the batch-file fix; this release is mainly documentation and discoverability.
