- Fix is_nvidia_file() to match NVIDIA DLLs in _internal/torch/lib/
(PyInstaller 6.18 + torch 2.10 no longer uses nvidia/ subdirectories)
- Remove deprecated split_binary.py (both archives are under 2GB)
- Update torch_compat range to >=2.6.0,<2.11.0
- Update build docs for new dual-archive packaging flow
Switch CUDA builds from PyInstaller --onefile to --onedir and split the
output into two separately versioned archives:
1. Server core (~200-400MB) — versioned with the app, redownloaded on
every app update
2. CUDA libs (~2GB) — versioned independently (cu126-v1), only
redownloaded when the CUDA toolkit or torch version changes
This eliminates the ~2.4GB full redownload on every version bump.
After initial setup, most app updates only need ~200-400MB.
Closes#297
- New ChatterboxTTSBackend wrapping ChatterboxMultilingualTTS (ResembleAI/chatterbox)
- Supports 23 languages including Hebrew, forces CPU on macOS (MPS issue)
- Monkey-patches torch.load for CPU loading, forces eager attention for compatibility
- trim_tts_output utility cuts trailing silence/hallucination from Chatterbox output
- Full engine integration: /generate, /generate/stream, model status/download/delete
- Hebrew (he) added to supported languages in frontend and backend validation
- Single flat model dropdown extended with Chatterbox option in both generation UIs
- ModelManagement UI groups LuxTTS and Chatterbox under 'Other Voice Models' section
- Combine engine + model size into one flat dropdown (Qwen3-TTS 1.7B,
Qwen3-TTS 0.6B, LuxTTS) in both FloatingGenerateBox and GenerationForm
- Add linacodec git dep to requirements.txt (uv-only source, pip can't
resolve it from Zipvoice's pyproject.toml)
- Remove redundant transitive deps from requirements.txt
- Quiet the sidecar setup script (was printing misleading instructions)
Add the ability to download a CUDA-enabled backend binary (~2.4 GB) and
swap it in via a backend-only restart, solving the #1 user pain point
(19 open 'GPU not detected' issues caused by GitHub's 2 GB asset limit).
Backend:
- cuda_download.py: download from R2 (primary) or GitHub split-parts
(fallback), SHA-256 verification, atomic writes, progress via SSE
- 4 new endpoints: GET/POST/DELETE /backend/cuda-*, GET cuda-progress
- server.py: --version flag, auto-detect variant from binary name
- build_binary.py: --cuda flag for CUDA PyInstaller builds
- split_binary.py: split large binaries into <2GB GitHub Release assets
- CI workflow for building CUDA binary
Tauri:
- restart_server command (stop -> wait -> start)
- start_server prefers CUDA binary from {data_dir}/backends/ if present
- Version mismatch check: runs --version before launching CUDA binary
Frontend:
- GpuAcceleration component: download, progress, restart, switch, delete
- API client + types for CUDA status and management
- Platform lifecycle: restartServer() on Tauri/Web
- Aggressive 1s health polling during restart for fast reconnection
- Created a new .npmrc file to enforce bun usage.
- Bumped version numbers for multiple packages to 0.1.9 in bun.lock.
- Added react-sound-visualizer dependency to enhance audio visualization features.
- Introduced convert:assets script in package.json for asset optimization.
- Updated CONTRIBUTING.md with instructions for converting assets to web formats.
- Added documentation files for API endpoints and developer guidelines in the docs directory.
Previously, running `bun run dev` would fail because Tauri requires
the sidecar binary to exist at compile time, even in development mode.
This forced developers to build the full PyInstaller binary before
they could start development.
This change introduces a streamlined dev workflow:
1. Add `scripts/setup-dev-sidecar.js` - Creates minimal placeholder
binaries that satisfy Tauri's compile-time check. Works cross-platform
(Windows PE stub, Unix shell script).
2. Update Rust code to gracefully handle dev mode - When the sidecar
fails to start, it checks if a manually-started server is already
running on the expected port and connects to it instead.
3. Update npm scripts - `bun run dev` now auto-runs the setup script,
and `dev:server` uses the correct port (17493).
4. Update CONTRIBUTING.md with clearer dev workflow documentation.
New development workflow:
Terminal 1: bun run dev:server
Terminal 2: bun run dev
The bundled binary is only required for production builds.
