🔗 Release v1.7.8

3. Project Progress

No pull requests were merged or closed today. The most recent activity was the continued development of PR #21 (opened March 18), which adds five new languages to the i18n system. This PR has been under review since March 18 and remains open as of April 1.

4. Community Hot Topics

Currently, there are no high-engagement issues or PRs with significant comments or reactions. The only notable item is PR #21 (feat(i18n): add 5 new languages), submitted by chinayin. It introduces support for Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Hindi—reflecting growing demand for multilingual accessibility. However, it has received zero reactions or comments, indicating either quiet consensus or passive waiting from maintainers.

5. Bugs & Stability

No new bugs, crashes, or regressions were reported today. The latest release specifically resolves a common macOS false-positive warning about app integrity, though users must manually bypass Gatekeeper via Terminal. While not a critical bug, this recurring user pain point highlights friction in deployment workflows.

6. Feature Requests & Roadmap Signals

The ongoing work on PR #21 strongly signals that localization is a priority for contributors. Given the completeness of the translation files (1,333 keys per language), it appears likely that this PR will be merged soon, suggesting that internationalization may be part of the next planned version. No other feature requests are currently active.

7. User Feedback Summary

Real-world feedback centers on macOS compatibility: users frequently encounter “app damaged” errors due to lack of code signing. Though resolved technically (via instructions), the experience remains suboptimal. There is no visible dissatisfaction expressed in public channels, but the absence of engagement around PR #21 implies limited community visibility into roadmap priorities.

8. Backlog Watch

PR #21 (Add 5 new languages) has been open for 14 days without merge or discussion. As the only active contribution in weeks, its status warrants maintainer attention—especially if localization is intended to be a flagship improvement. No long-unanswered issues exist, but this PR represents a potential backlog item requiring timely review.
