CCCC v0.4.28 Release Notes

v0.4.28 is a small maintenance release for local ASR, Web terminals, and the supported runtime catalog.

Local ASR Is Easier to Maintain

Voice Secretary local ASR now reports clearer version and update state for the sherpa-onnx runtime and local ASR models. The settings surface can show installed versions, latest available versions, update availability, recent update errors, and model artifact source details.

Model updates are also safer. CCCC stages downloads before replacing installed payloads, and a failed update keeps the last verified model available instead of leaving local ASR disabled.

Cleaner Web Terminals

The Web terminal now suppresses terminal-generated color/device query responses that some CLI/runtime combinations can emit into the input stream. This prevents stray escape-code text from appearing in the terminal input area while keeping normal terminal output intact.

Runtime Catalog Cleanup

Neovate has been removed from CCCC's formal runtime catalog, setup flow, Web runtime metadata, docs, tests, and logo assets.

This keeps the supported runtime list focused on actively maintained integrations. Users who still want to experiment with unsupported CLIs can continue to use the custom runtime path.

Reliability

This release also tightens context-cache regression coverage so fresh context reads are tested deterministically instead of depending on thread timing.

Why Upgrade

Upgrade to v0.4.28 if you use local ASR, have seen stray terminal control text in Web terminals, or want the runtime list cleaned up after Neovate's removal.
