## Changelog

### 0.1 update (2026-10-08)

- Fix: partial downloads (when only the first part of a long MP3 episode is needed) now skip the embedded ID3 tag first. Episodes with several MB of cover art in the tag could fail with "not a readable audio file" or yield less audio than requested.
- Clearer message when a publisher's server refuses access to its RSS feed (HTTP 401/403).

### 0.1 update (2026-10-06)

- Free demo is robust on busy servers: 63 s public-domain excerpt, Whisper threads matched to the available CPU share, time-boxed transcription with a precomputed fallback transcript (always returns results)
- Demo uses 15-30 s clips when the clip lengths are left at their defaults

### 0.1 (initial release)

- Tested end to end against the real Groq API (English + German)
- AI judge: openai/gpt-oss-120b by default, rates the top 20 candidates, weak clips (< minLlmScore) are dropped and not charged
- Podcast RSS feeds (latest / oldest / title filter) and direct audio/video URLs
- Transcription via Groq Whisper (your API key) or local open-source Whisper
- Heuristic clip detection plus optional LLM re-ranking and hook titles (Groq)
- Per-clip SRT/VTT subtitles, full transcripts, run summary
- Pay-per-event pricing: audio minute + delivered clip
